Small Skill Specific Icons Added Under Character Squad Icon

[mattoden]

I think it would be cool to have skill specific icons in the black rectangle where the squad member selection is. I'm assuming these black boxes will feature the character face or something in the future.

A small icon for any skill over 50 (or whatever skill level would be considered proficient) could be added to the portrait area. This would make it possible to quickly locate your medic, engineer, heavy weapons expert, etc quickly without having to name them such ahead of time. After all, as of now names are stuck with the character after naming them and I don't like calling someone a medic until they are actually a proficient medic. Also longer names get jumbled up in the member selection area.

This could be added to the info page of the character but an easily visible icon would be ideal.

That could be useful, although I'd imagine it would have to be something like three highest skills rather than skills over 50, as some people will no doubt have quite a few of those on their primary squad.

Or maybe have them as a "sign" of what we want taht person to be, liek a cross to a medic, a key to a enginer, a bow to a long range etc.. I think i say this cuz i took of somewhere this foru tho...

I like the idea of listing the top three skills like you said Clawdius. That would keep the clutter down on the character portrait window. Either that or give the player the option to designate which icon or icons show up.
