Add the Tombstones from the 2025 April Fool's Update as a Permanent Feature
-
Made some quick mockups of faction tombstones. UEF I'm pretty happy with, Aeon might need a few more features, Cybran I think I need to scrap and start over
No ideas for sera yet but it'd probably some weird floaty stuff.Tomorrow I'll try to test the ACU wrecks and get some screenshots of those.

If gets into main game, bye, immersion.

i also think they're a little too "silly" to keep
frick snoops!

Its just a UI feature so people can choose if they want them or not in an in game setting
This is not a UI feature.

To BlackYps point, can you elaborate on what you mean by "they're"?
The current tombstones, my designs, the entire concept? Would you prefer the wrecks avenue?

tombstones in general.
and wrecks would be cool, but confusing, because you can't reclaim themhonestly reclaimable ACU wrecks doesn't sound so bad because I strongly dislike when players are able to blow up your army with their ACU and their team loses nothing of value. However currently ACUs "cost" a ton of resources so I imagine a wreck would give way too much also

This is easily adjustable in wreckage parameters. Also ACUs only cost 2000 mass right now, so you could just add wrecks without changing anything.

huge dub

The best part of the feature was the "funny" text of the tombstone. So idc what the wreck or tombstone looks like.
Would be sad if this just goes -
What if they were death markers? UI modders can mod the text and casters/players can use it to see who died and how, with restrictions as needed for players (allies only at minimum). They would be created in a similar fashion to Notify messages.
This would have no sim changes like wrecks or other objects, thus keeping the immersion somewhat intact (UI is immersion-breaking in general, but this is less so than objects in the world). -
I'd probably not have the feature like that. Would prefer a wreck / tombstone over just a message
-
Thought I'd pick this up again
UEF is the same, just added some placeholder textures
Aeon added a little plinth
Cybran V2. The dark-red inner area is intended to be a red circuit board type material but that is a lot of work to create such a texture for an idea I'm not committed to yet.
Sera I'm still figuring out designs for.
-
Sera would probably have something that hovers
