not sure how we would do that, given that spring currently has no real way of illustrating radio jamming, or radar picking up communications equipment.. suppose we could add toggleable stealth units, but what exactly do you percieve this being used as..

Oh, just the effect. Having a plasma glowing antenna thing. And maybe a scout unit that is cloaked and stealth, but loses its stealth when it turns on its radar. Mostly I was thinking about the cool-looking effect.

not sure how you would make an antenne of glowy, without some seriously heavy use of CEG generated off the model, that would likely look bad.. or you could use glow mapps to get the effect..
