For assisting rookies in map positioning and keeping absent-minded vets in check.

Checks the pathing mesh for a route from main base & natural RTs to any previously-discovered hive, and if there are no nearby allies, highlights it on the map.

Does this sound like it would be useful? Useful enough to actually bother doing?

    That sounds terrible to me to be honest...

    Having something like that may increase marine play for players... but it makes the alien game suffer... the whole point of laneblocking is that its supposed to be about knowledge and skill... not about some flashing light telling you that you're doing something wrong.

    I'd like something like that, in a full-fletched singleplayer tutorial/campaign.

    Maybe as a mod on a 25 hour or less server.
