Change direction of sensor spin?

Post by bendib »

Why not switch the direction that sensors and power generators spin? Most things tend to go from left to right, so for me it makes more sense. I doubt it's hard to implement. Thoughts?

What would be the benefit? I doubt many people even notice the direction of spin.

I guess the only way to find out is to try it.

Been playing for years, but if you asked me out of memory which direction does the sensor spin, I wouldn't be able to answer.

I think it's not a very noticeable thing. (Only one that makes it kinda noticeable is the satellite uplink one, and still, i cannot remember the direction).

Do you think it's worth the effort to try?

I can't say it's caught my attention much over the years but when it has it's because it runs counter-clockwise whereas our ingrained expectation is clockwise and perhaps that was WZ Creator's intent in the first place. As far as importance, one way or another, I would personally place it in the same catagory as that Medieval chestnut about determining exactly how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. ;)

@Rman: That has to be one of the most sophisticated ways of saying "who cares?" :D

Leave it to Rman to give us the most interesting of answers :) And yes, who cares what the rotation is.

Bendib my friend we all love Warzone but I think now that you play far too much ;)

Imagine the potential :) a competition to win, who the first will notice that the radars turned their spinning :) or stopped working ;)

Bendib I have a good mood so.. one more ;)

Who will notice that this scavenger girl is..

in eight month of pregnancy! ;)

Anyway good eye, interesting still outisde thinking, I hope you were waiting for a long time for your units to be produced and the radar was nearby ;)

Greetings :)
