    This is just a thought I had the other night while I was playing as an engineer on emp_money. Would it be possible to do something on the minimap like make the squares flash when a building is getting damaged? While the alerts can be helpful, it gets difficult when more than one building of a certain kind exists. (For example, 10 refineries on money.) I was acting as repairman that night, but found myself spending a lot of time trying to find which exact building was being hit. I just thought some form of indication could help both in that regard and in other maps when bases get spread out to show more rapidly which one specifically is under attack.

    Perhaps have it that when you pop the full map display up as an engineer, you can get damage stats by mousing over the various building/tank dots. Or just building dots.

    See?

    Sadly, there are people (who refuse to buy tanks when my team's pushing 10k res and has tons of research) who call me a noob comm.

    But they're all wrong! I know what I'm talking about!

    Love this suggestion. It only makes sense that some kind of warning network would exist between buildings. If not by default, this should definately be researchable fairly early on.
