A new type of 'location' for location badges

Midair.

I've noticed in some other games what would be called 'perspective' puzzles - where you put your character in a particular location, look in a certain 'direction', and you can see a puzzle answer revealed. Usually it involves seeing a set of 3-dimensional statues/sculptures/etc. arranged in a different orientation than they are normally viewed from.

I'd love to see this type of puzzle implemented in CoX in the form of a location badge. Given the difficulty of 'marking' a midair location with a 'badge', 'seeing' the puzzle revealed might be the way to set off the badge credit trigger.

I dunno how difficult this might be to implement, and it would definitely involve coordination with the Art department, but it's an idea I'd love to see in the game.

something like this would have to be a very short distance. especially for those with low end comps. i don't see it happening now. maybe in another version of CoH, but not now.

The only way to find these badges will be to be in the right place and be looking the right direction by chance?

I'm guessing that the only way most will find them will be by using the badge-hunting sites, reducing it from a puzzle project to a research project.
