Change ? Radar Icons Based On Unlocked Equipment

13 votes

When starting a new game, all the non-story towers are basically locked behind some kind of equipment necessary to get to the scannable objects in the towers. For example, some locations require having the hand extractor available in order to advance. Others a knife. New players don't have any information (in-game) about what a given tower will require until they get to it and explore it.

Changing the way icons are displayed when equipment is found and unlocked alleviates some of this stress. When a player lands on an unidentified tower and the ship's AI scans for Objects, this is an opportunity to change the icon on the Location Radar to equipment that's necessary to progress through it. If a player hasn't Studied the Object of a tower when leaving, then the tool needed gets placed where the ? was.
