The idea is quite simple - add a cold down timer to a bomb launcher telling when it can be used again.
With the TD jumping constantly between 10-30% it is hard to say when you can do it. |

Bump.

Should probably also apply to MJD's. but yeah nice idea.
an even simpler solution would to make the module cycles include the cooldown time.

In fact, why shouldn't module cycle *be* the cooldown timer? |

for the launchers it probably should be. Because MJD's have 2 cycles phases (spool and cooldown) it's a little trickier, but i don't see why it couldn't be worked in that it showed the cooldown cycle as well. |

Reasonable suggestion. Add timers for all modules with re-activation delays. |

Considering that nearly every other MMO out there has cooldown timers, well... this is more than a reasonable suggestion, in my opinion.  |

The graphic would be really simple too. We already have the white circle around modules for activation time. Just make the cooldown timer a differently colored circle that ticks backwards.

If we wanted to use existing assets, the spool-up for a MJD could be the typical cycle timer while the cooldown can flash, like when weapons are reloading.
Technically speaking, cycle timers are showing cooldowns for things like weapons and shield boosters and such. They show spool-up for armor reppers, since those currently take effect at the end of their cycle.
With this in mind, my preferred method for the MJD would be to have a cycle timer for the spool-up and then a different-color timer for the cooldown. It's not quite the same as using existing assets, but taking the cycle timer and making it some other different color shouldn't be hard. Make it.. I don't know, yellow. Yellow's a nice high-visibility color and there isn't anything else yellow in our module layout at the moment. Absolutely do not make it red, since we already have red around our heat-damaged modules and more red wouldn't help anyone.
A yellow cool-down timer would be sufficiently different that even color-blind people could tell the difference between shades of grey (I think) and actually having a timer instead of just using a flash is more tactically useful.
Personally, I hate having my weapons simply flash when they're reloading and so implementing a yellow cycle timer for reloading would be wonderful as well. That, however, is a topic for a different thread. |

I love the idea, but I would love it even more if they included a readout (perhaps on those handy tool tips). +1 |

Why only to these two?... Doomsday, MJD, Cloak, and a ton of other items that have cooldown, will benefit from clear visibility of this information. |

Good point, but we need to start from something.
I will add Doomsday and MJD to main topic.

This thread sinking and not being seen would be bad, so there's a near-week-long bump.
Come on devs, make bomber and dictor pilots happy! (Especially those who tend to end up fighting in tidi)
(Also for the record some sort of module repair progress thing could be handy.) |
