    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

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

      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.
