<div class="IPBDescription">let me hear you say OH YEAH!</div> I love this new addition to 2.0!

Just a click of the mouse and I can plot my path to any waypoint, hive, or other landmark without wondering around like an idiot! woo!

It is a very nice addition, with the exception of a few (minor) annoyances:


The "green" player color doesn't contrast too well with the backround.. I can't locate myself! Perhaps red, orange, or white would work better?

a structure under attack could flash in red on the map, that would help and be more concise than "resource under attack" but perhaps that's supposed to make atmosphere in the game.


That's about all I can think of in this excellent addition!

Thoughts?

    OH...*cough*...YEAH!


    But seriously. The minimap is a great addition. Of course, I <i>still</i> don't use it nearly as much as I should.

    I don't like the popup map - it's a good idea, but the maps images themselves could use some work. The marine minimap however is a great addition.

    Bind a key to +showmap and hold that key down to see the map. I think it's great, very good job MaxX!
