Turinium lines improvement

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Just a small improvement I'd like to see in the future. I find the turinium lines (the lines that connect the resource points) can be abit hard to see sometimes as they blend into the terrain as their texture doesn't stand out alot since its fairly subtle and its at the same resolution as the terrain textures.

Can we improve their texture and possibly even add a team colour based shader effect (as if it was pulsing with power or something) to it to show the ownership between points so it matches up with the minimap info? Just makes perfect sense if it was like this way since the connection of power generators and turinium nodes to your base is an important aspect of the game.

Yes, that would be nice to be able to see the connection lines clearly again without needing to zoom out into strategic view.  Though TBH I kinda like the new style, maybe just not as contrasting as it was.

I didn't play the original Ashes so I don't know how they used to look before.

Edit: I saw some screenshots, I see what you mean.

I'm not sure why they are starting to make thins difficult to see but the resource lines seem to be gone, when you select units the yellow marker is almost transparent and the new dark maps are difficult to navigate through. For people such as myself who have bad eyesight this kind of decision is an absolute nightmare. I've created a topic on the steam forums about the yellow marker being almost transparent and even harder/impossible to view when zoomed out and not knowing whether you selected that (example) engineer. Very frustrating.
