Weld request

Kalabalana

<div class="IPBDescription">Preset dialogue option for a weld</div>A weld message, like the request medpack or ammo actions, would be very useful.

Additionally, some sort of ingame indicator highlighting the player, maybe an icon, or some sort of animation change, would complement the functionality well.

I agree. I almost have to corner my teammates to make them understand That I need a weld.
thought I really need to get a working Mic.

A notification that a player needs welded/repaired would be nice.

It's often difficult to get others to understand that a weld is needed, this I agree on.

I think there could be a little icon above a marine with damaged armor, showing that he needs repairs, it could be colour coded, the more damaged the armor is the more red the colour could be, similarly to the way-point icons, hovering above buildings who need repairs, but also for marines.

It could work the same way the automatic orders tell marines to build structures or attack enemy units, telling them to weld friendlies, and possibly to hold E for newer players.

It also helped when you had a welder pulled out, you would get the armor rings of nearby players and health of structures. This was pretty handy if you were to pull out the welder to make sure everything is in top condition.

Of course this only works if the welder is like it's ns1 counterpart.

We need an official lore recording or transcription of that event; it's to hilarious not to be canon.

I beleave this will greatly improve the game play if it gave some kinda of element to show a player near you who has less than 50% armor and need's to be welded. Died many times having to stop and type "weld me" and geting eaten at the same time XD

Kalabalana

The saying could change depending on how much armor you have. If you have no armor, your guy might say "My armor's broken", less then 50% damage: "My armor needs repair." etc.

Would also be a bit of a boon to aliens nearby hearing the request.

Floodinator

Do it like in NS1. Player hits the weldme button it plays a weld sound and marks the requesting player.
