80% of PGI's staff are graphic artists, but turrets are shown on the minimaps as UAVs.

Really?

A new single color icon on the minimap to indicate the difference between turrets and UAVs was beyond our means.

Come on guys, it can't be that hard.

Same colors and new, smaller icons would be greatly appreciated. I can't stand it when my minimap looks like a clusterf***.

Do we really need friendly turret icons...?

Well, for the lazy, just making them "lance green" instead of "team blue" would be the quick and lazy method. It won't help for the colorblind, but at this point... we can't customize HUD colors yet anyhow.

Confused me, though it was another bug :

Another icon would seem to be sensible.

Don't see the big deal. You know they are turrets, they are near a base and don't move.

Unless, you plant a UAV near your own turrets near your base (because, the enemy have pushed towards it), and UAVs don't move either.

Ok if you know that icon was used for turrets, which I did not know. And this little bit of information missing from patch notes.

1. They're huge and ugly and obscure the minimap.
2. They indistinguishable from UAVs deployed near your base.
3. It's just plain sloppy for them to not have a distinct icon.

I agree they're kind of a pain to look at on the minimap.

[Svidro]

Yes, a pain, but they couldn't afford a decent UI either so... what can you do.
