Infestation visible to commander

Infestation needs to be made visible to the commander in a small radius around his marines. It frequently turns into an act of sign language and interpretive dance as to where the commander can and can't place structures.

    +1 would be nice, i often have to drop a scan when trying to ninja a phase gate in just so that i can see where its possible to build, even when i have a marine stood in the area.

    I agree on this one. It's very annoying to determine whether or not your marines are in hostile territory, without 'wasting' a scan.

    Stuff being invisible to the Commander in general is just retarded. Removing information from the one that is supposed to have the most information for no good reason makes 0 sense in my mind.

    Although I chalk most of it up to a poorly implemented Commander view/UI system. Not intentional.

    +1.
    I get why we shouldn't see anything when we don't have anyone in the place, but when your men are standing right next to it, it's just silly.

    theres a key-phrase in here "ninja a phase gate" marine comms shouldnt be able to see infestation in case you are trying to put a phasegate in an alien hive area that would be<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--> game over for aliens when the marines egg lock the aliens and kill the hive and all the upgrades so if the marine comm see a small radius around a marine then bam game over<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->. you are looking at a marines POV not an aliens too so consider BOTH sides not just one. marine comms ignore or just dont "ninja" phase gates in an aliens hive for a reason either its too tough to find a infestation free spot or hes not an ###### and puts a phase gate in an alien hive play <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->BOTH<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> sides not just a marines

    ninja phase gate is a non issue.
    They have to be build by marines, and as it currently stands they are perfectly able to stand near a infestation empty spot for the exact same phasegate.
