Laser Trip Wires are currently at the top of the most voted for new feature, so I suppose I better do something about it! My question is: what is the best way to inform a player if the tripwire has been tripped?

I know there was a vote, and Laser Trip Wires is winning, but adding this to the already existing Opportunity Fire I believe will tip the scales even further in favor of the defending side. Let's think about this properly. No one wants to play a boring stand-off game where everyone is too scared to launch an attack for fear of Laser Trip Wires in narrow corridors and defenders with opportunity fire around every corner. Surely this will lead to 'most boring player wins' scenarios. If Laser Trip Wires are implemented they should be done so very carefully. I would prefer to see more incentives for players to attack rather than for them to sit back behind defenses and wait.
I can't argue with that! I've played a few games myself where as soon as you step out you get picked off, so adding trip-wires to the equation can only make it worse. Consider the feature abandoned.
