Use: Improves accuracy by causing the cross hairs to change color when you are in that convergence sweet spot. Also warns of any possible problems with clipping hills and what not in some way.

Cost: Not sure.

SRM Projected Spread.

Alters the crosshair while SRMs are on the mech to show where SRMs would land. Toggable.

even if you don't have any ideas for new modules you can still leave feedback on the ones that are here.

Tracking:
displays tracks left behind from mechs for a short time within a certain radius.

all footprints left behind by mechs glow for 10 seconds within a 180m radius. tracks will slowly fade away until they are gone after 10 seconds. trails can be picked up if the 180m radius passes over the tracks within 10 seconds of the track being left behind. tracks only appear if the mech has line of sight on the surface that the tracks are left on.

uses:

• following fast mechs when you do not have line of sight
  
• detecting mechs that have moved through an area recently
  
• determining mech positions and direction of travel during close quarters combat
  
• possible identification of mechs before they have been spotted

pros:

• adds more combat information for mechs that you cannot see directly
  
• allows for easier detection of fast mechs
  
• allows for easier following of fast mechs
  
• allows knowledgable pilots to identify mechs before they have been detected visually

cons:

• adds to screen clutter

flavor text: sensors can scan the terrain looking for residual heat and compression left behind by the feet of other mechs.

Vector Determination Module

Detects weapons fire and computes the source, identifying the position of potential threats.

Basically, if an enemy fires a weapon that comes with in 250m of you, you can detect them for 5 seconds. After which you lose the lock on unless with in range. Repeated weapons fire resets the timer.

Damage Analysis Module

Utilizing sensors embedded in the 'mechs armor and structure, the module can detect the type of weapon used when damaged is inflicted on the 'mech. This way pilots know if it's an AC/2 or something to start panicking about.

Seismic Sensor Suite

Sensors in embedded in the feet of the 'mech are able to detect the locations of nearby 'mechs.

360 degree radar, good out to 200m. Not affected by ECM. Enemies only appear on the minimap and compass, does not allow reticle acquisition or lock on. Maybe have multiple levels: 200m, 350m, 500m

wanted to get the basic ideas down so i wouldn't forget but too tired to write them down fully.

that one owuld actually be nice. Well, not sure if the clipping part can and should be implemented, but that convergence thingy would be neat
