Oh nice! Hmm you can say no, but can I also make a request on behalf of FotG? In the future we would love to have a way to have the radar only show the current target icon (to recreate the style from the movies). I'm wondering, how hard would it be to make this new game option a drop-down menu, with values of 'Show All' or 'Show Only Current Target' or 'Show None'? The 'Show Only Current Target' would also take some extra logic in the code though, too, of course. Happy to discuss more, and again if folks decide that they only want a boolean we in FotG can always work on figuring out another method :) |
That's an interesting idea and without looking at the code possibly very doable. I'll set this to draft and investigate further. |

Thanks, we very much appreciate it! |

Ready for review again.. I added the requested feature. 2D Radar Icon option is now a dropdown with On, Off, and Target Only as valid selections. |

Thanks, I tested and new function works, though I'm realizing that it will still always draw little circles in the radar (and in hindsight I should have realized this earlier). For FotG we would want to not draw the little circles, and only draw the defined icon for the targeted ship, but that's perhaps a bit too specific for broad utility? Happy to hear any thoughts! |

Tests work and things look good
As requested by Admiral Nelson, this makes the 2D radar icons an option in Options Builder. If no 2D icons are tabled then the option is automatically hidden. Tested and even works toggling it mid-mission. The best kind of option.
