Summary0000289: Minimap updates
DescriptionSo, I think we do need to implement the minimap, but I also want it to be hidden by default. I don't really use it, and I think that is normal for most people -- it's just too small. SupCom has its minimap disabled by default, and I think that would be a good thing to start doing here, too. The less clutter on the screen except when needed or specifically desired, the better. This should probably be a new settings option, rather than an on-screen toggle, to avoid issues with yet another button on the screen.

Not a bad idea, but keeping the minimap around for those that do use it is probably a good idea. I find myself a little bit lost sometimes without it, but I think it's a "getting used to" thing.

SupCom I recall hid the minimap by default. When we first started playing that game, the first thing I wanted to know was how to turn that on. Then I wound up phasing it out after a couple of weeks, which was nice because I had the screen real estate and all the same functionality, too.

There's no question the minimap needs to be present, as you say, but I think having it off by default could be a good dynamic... maybe. Of course that runs the risk of making new players feel lost. So I'm torn there.
