Have it only 'activate' once it hits the ground?

Hmm... Flare: increases signature of all units within X meters by Y% for Z seconds.
Sounds like a great idea to me(note the total lack of friend/foe distinction)

Perhaps a MGL?

Here are some alternative methods that would be easier on the system:

You could do an AvP-style "light enhancement" system, which disables your radar while it's on.

You could do lights built into the level that can be switched on and off (perhaps by repairing/destroying generators). This will still be a bit CPU intensive, but controllably.

You could do something which causes life forms or engines to glow - not requiring a point light system, but still making things very clear.

You could simply play with radar range like they do in Allegiance proper.

And I definitely like the idea of having a "tag" system... a laser designator that allows another player to lock on with heavy armaments.

Actually, I think it would be cool to make a game where your radar wasn't YOUR radar, but was instead piped from radar devices your team planted - probes. After all, when's the last time you saw an infantryman or even main battle tank with radar?

But this is probably not the game to do that with...

This is good. Tribes is torque, and if it can be done there it can be done for Quantas
