Dropship "Bug"?

[CuCulainn]

ok...I love the game but there are things I do not like....Most of which are really petty quibbles of taste.

There is so far as I can see no marker for incomming dropships sometimes the place where it's gonna land is obvious,sometimes not. but ESPECIALLY when the @#%^$%&^#&@#$%&$#% thing is gome done instantly after the last enemy drops..Really really not liking having mechs and pilots squished by my otherwise very competent pilot...

And if there is some kind of marker. then you need to put in visiblity settings for the fairly large number of us who don't see colors the same as everyone else!

There is a marker on the movement spots which are subject to dropship landings, but it's red, which is not color-blindness friendly. (It's also possible that it might not appear sometimes - I can't address this as I have not seen it.)

lost "Three mechs to it last night. In one mission. With two well developed pilots killed and my commander down for 94 days.

@Nirruden is correct, the "hex dots" have a red border around them in the dropship landing zone. There is also a text box on the left side of the screen when you mouse over them, the same as with other special terrain such as water, geothermal, forest etc.

I'll look for the text box Thanks. I can't see a lot of stuff that's supposed to be therer...direction of attack indicators for example.
