Roid fields should affect radar

I was thinking it would be cool if roid fields somehow affected the performance of radar. Like ice roids could scatter it all over while solid rock roids could make a direct line of sight required to spot something on radar.

Yes, I agree. Making roids actually block radar is problematic, but I hope to at least reduce radar range generically within certain blocked off "regions" where there are asteroids. That's a lot more likely to be implemented in the short term.

Yeah, I agree. Being in one of the huge IceYo clusters that's almost a perfect sphere around you should f* up your radar a lot. It'd also make hide-and-seek waaay cooler.

It would make knowing the area more important I'd think, also, it might make ambushes more acceptable because even if you do try to sneak up on someone they can still catch you, unlike with warpkills where they are unable to control while jumping in
