What if the Command Console allowed a pilot who equips it to see all of the lances on their team as a separate color, and allowed them to see the lance status box for all lances?
Currently:
- Your lance is in light blue, and you can see your lance's status box
- The other lance is in dark blue, and you cannot see that lance's status box.
- There will be a third lance, presumably in dark blue and without you seeing the status box?
What if, with Command Console:
- Your lance (Alpha, let's say) is in light blue, and you can see your lance's status box
- Beta lance is in dark blue, and you can see Beta's status box
- Charlie? lance is in green, and you can see Charlie's status box
I think that would be a big boon to company commanders, as well as anybody who just wants to be more aware of the movements of their allies. I don't think it would give too big of an advantage because anybody can quickly toggle to their map to see where their allies are. Command Console would simply make it a little easier to keep a watchful eye on the team. Command Console weighs 3 tons, so it is unlikely that players will add it without thought, since 3 tons equals 3 heat sinks, or an SRM6, or 96 points of armor, etc.
