Geoscape labels
« on: August 28, 2013, 01:52:10 pm »
originating from this thread, it might be nice to have additional floating information labels on the Geoscape:
- the names of X-Com bases (toggled in advanced options, shows the base name next to the little square on the globe... all zoom levels)
- the names of X-Com craft (toggled in advanced options; perhaps only when zoomed in?)
- additional UFO information, where available (togled in advanced options; perhaps only when zoomed in?)
- possibly the expiration time of terror sites and crash sites as a countdown? or maybe, if you think that's giving the player too much information he shouldn't have, perhaps simply counting up the time since creation of the site?

of course, right now the globe would become very crowded with all of these turned on at the same time, but since there is development of higher-resolution globes going on, it would become even more useful later on :)
