Race symbols on mini map

posted on April 14th, 2020, 2:45 pm

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to mod de mini map symbols? Ships and stations are now shown as dots and squares on the ingame mini map. I would be cool if you could change these squares and dots in the symbols of the race you are playing.

Reminds me of several episodes of DS9, in particular "In the Pale Moonlight", where you can see a stellar maps with (fake) attack plans ons the Romulans.

Sorry for my English ( Im from the Netherlands)

I'm not sure it's possible, especially because the minimap is so low poly. But you could add a LOD to every model, so if you zoom out enough ships and stations could became symbols, giving an overview feel to the map. For that you should increase the max zoom out though because the models in FO are rather big compared to the maps.
