I was thinking that instead of Dorittos showing who's friend or foe we could have the factions emblem above their head instead. For Squad leaders they could have their emblem on their back so that they could know that they are the squad leader, because it can be hard to tell in game. Or the Emblem could be on the shoulder guard and glow that neon blue, that would be cool. If the friend or foe icons could show up quicker on the UI that would also be very helpful as it can take about a second for them to pop up. (But i'm sure you guys know about that already. )
oh yeah let me add a "shoot me! im the bozz"-sign i think keeping the indicators simple is best way cause not all players will be familiar with the lore and all the symboles and sometimes it might even be hard to identify what symbol it is oh and i think changing appearance of the squadleader emblem will be an option! so instead of that emblem we might be able to have this roman brush on our helmet ^^
i was thinking more of a highlight cause making it lore based means ull limit the number of ppl knowing what the symbols stand for. But something like this which is from a mmo called dcuo. BUt morre of a highlight than a actual glow
