Hullo,

mattn gave me some screenshots of your map icons ( http://www.sitters-electronics.nl/md2/models/Abase.jpg , http://www.sitters-electronics.nl/md2/models/Pbase.jpg ), and I have some feedback.

The Alien base is alright, but I'd like to see it without that big wall around the main pyramid. Another suggestion is to change those little pyramids around the main one to something that more resembles/calls to mind shapes from the alien UFOs.

The PHALANX base really doesn't fit. The big wall and above-ground slant-roofed houses are not appropriate. I'll model this icon myself, and post it here when it's done.

Regards,
Winter

Maybe something like this Winter, and then textured in ufo style ?

I like the smaller pyramids, but there's far too much green on the main pyramid. I'd much prefer to see that scaled back a bit.

I know my opinion doesn't count for much on this, but I liked the first one textured to look like a construct from TRON better. :)

Better, but now it's a bit too bland. ;)

Could you get some more detail in there that isn't green?

I add some detail.

So far I know it is an symbol for the geoscape, then you must not add to much detail , otherwise you are killing the top view when you fly over.

And it is of course an symbol, and not an existing object. ;)

Looks well from the top.

well for the ufopedia it would be nice to have more detailed models, although for map depending on the scale of the model we may not notice any anyway.

I guess the black "windows" can be main exits for UFO interceptors and reconaissance planes.

How about an antenna on the top of the main pyramid ?

Also, maybe an alternate version where all sub-pyramids are linked by a small wall, that may be nice too.

Just simple thought for Winter.

Let the discussion begin. ;)

Hmm, I like it, but where do you envisage this being used? It just doesn't say 'alien activity' or 'terror mission' to me.

Maybe it would be handy for special storyline missions or some such.

Suggestions: For non-terror, non-crash, non-special missions, I'd like to see that flag changed into an alien head hovering over the centre of the icon.
