Description
This is an old one, not sure if it ever got put in Mantis or if it was just forgotten.
This feature would use the lowest LOD, or whichever appropriate, of the model at a reduced size instead of drawing a blip. This would be drawn on certain ship classes most notably the big ones but may be extended to other ships as well.
The pseudocode of the model render would be:
If (we're close enough to see the profile of the ship) then
draw model,
Else
draw blip
It will use the standard color codes for other blips, so if its a green blip then draw it with a green model. The trick is to get the style look right because it should be transparent looking (maybe additive blending mode).
