Permanent Alternating Fire Arcs
« on: October 20, 2024, 04:41:50 AM »
A lot of the time, when I use alternating fire, it's on slower weapons that have high per-shot damage, to stagger the damage on a target so they can't just keep their shields down for a few seconds to de-flux. However, I have noticed that I am starting to find it very frustrating not being able to see where all my guns are pointed with the reticle and arcs in a protracted fight. Would love an option to Turn on all Arcs for alternating fire.

A fine suggestion.
It could be neat for inactive arcs in alternating mode to stay visible but with opacity reduced by a certain amount.

Exactly. I'm not sure how hard it would be to code in a setting to just reduce the opacity for unused arcs and such, but it would be helpful for sure. It gets a little annoying at times when you're in a hectic battle to constantly see your arcs change.
