This is my first post on the forums all though I have played for nearly a month. Tremulous rocks! Its a great team based game, although I have been finding team members too "quiet" and sometimes not very co operative. Co operation and the occasional "nice work with the turrets" are crucial to keep builders (well at least me when Im one) goin.
Last game I played I kept begging for more builders to spawn so we could maintain teslas (it was SST server... tons of BPs to use). But not many people listened... they were too busy with getting their name up on the "high score list" (in other words, most kills). Im guessing many of them thought "What noob is this telling us what to do, he's not even visible on the list (many don't know how to scroll down)." Of course, my building was a great asset to them, and many other builders keep their teams hides from being mauled. I think builders deserve more credit, so I suggest:
The status menu/list be divided into quarters instead of halves. Each team would have a seperate quarter for their builders, and the kills column would be replaced with a "build kills" column that shows how many enemies were killed by your structures. Seeing the high kill count, other players will show more respect
The builders kill score should be kept seperate from the assult guys because obviously the kills come very differently, and most of the time builders will have highest kill scores. Thanks for an awesome game, I hope you guys at dev consider this.
