Feature request. Autofire beams in yellow.

Post by zubinmadon »

I loved the update that added per-weapon autofire. I sometimes think a beam is not on autofire when it is, though, because the color is always red. If it makes sense, changing autofire beam location color on the enemy ship to yellow (or anything you prefer) would be helpful. I realize the weapon itself shows yellow charging bar, but I still manage to forget sometimes.


Either way, great game, thanks!

You really shouldn't be auto-firing beams any way. They're most effective when timed to fire right after other weapons.

All the better reason to change the color. Sometimes I forget if I set my beam weapon to fire after my laser or rockets charge, a different color for the auto fire beam indicator would show I didn't.

This is a big part of why changing the beam color would help. It's pretty rare that I want beams to autofire, but sometimes I turn it on by accident. For other specific times where I do want the beam to autofire, it'd also be nice to know that it indeed is on autofire.

I have a related suggestion: When targeting beams, rooms that are affected could get a red border to indicate that they are going to get hit in the next beam. It would be useful when trying to hit as many rooms as possible in one shot.
