            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.

            A work of art is never finished, merely abandoned

              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 them

                honestly 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

                frick snoops!

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

                      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 d17b0658-31f5-49a7-af20-abb53de29d03-image.png
                            Aeon added a little plinth c19dc8a9-25bd-4020-a425-d5cd8c9b1f2c-image.png
                            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. 466db2a8-355c-41d0-accb-5e761080ca02-image.png

                            Sera I'm still figuring out designs for.

                              Sera would probably have something that hovers
