1 Km = 8 pixel

2 km = 4 pixel

3 km = 2 pixel

4 km = 1 pixel

5 km = zero pixel

No these the above are not what I think they should be. No way the dots should be the same at different distances.

Yet, online players have always wanted at least 2 pixels are very long distances.

----------------------------

Something along these lines makes sense. I wouldn't care if it was interpreted for a person with best vision. I'm thinking the AI sees the player at around 5 km anyway. '

Real human vision is unbelieveable at times. You can pick up miniscule movement peripherally, yet you can't see a darn thing. A human eye can pick up a miniscule quick flash of light and you know you are not alone. So... in a manner of speaking an 8 km blip or flash periodically would not be unrealistic. So, the tradeoff is a dot or couple pixels at 8km. As I think on it, maybe it's not so bad afterall.

At some point the devs should probably give us a heads up on whats up.
