Occlusion bufs

Jun 21, 2018 Roda Slane link
Occlusion should hide the pilots name, nationality, ship type, and all other stats. Basically if occluded, you know that a ship is there, but not really anything else.

If a player is behind an asteroid, I should not know which player, and neither should they know me.
If a player(bot) is in the station, they should not know who is outside the station, and everyone outside the station should not know who is in the station.

The station bar would still work as now. You want to know who is in the station, dock, and look, and be seen.

edit: Occlusion buf would also apply to out of radar range ships.

+1 absolutely, but this shouldn't work on people docked on capships though

Roda really doesn't likes spotter bots lol

+1, and agreed with piment. However, you should know who is in the station's NFZ at least, for launch intel. Don't have any comments about spotter bots, though.

Nobody likes spotter bots, they are an unfair advantage to people and ruin the game, honestly. I'm pretty sure that devs never intended them to be a thing.

They’ll be abused until TGFT deems them to be unfair and not a moment sooner ;)
