Icon To Indicate Weapons/items In Slot4

The ammount of times i've seen (mainly new) players given a pack of mines or a welder, and never use them is unbelivable - and i find it very fustrating to have to spell it out every time i am commanding.
So perhaps some kind of suggestion onscreen may be at hand, maybe icons like the armour/weapon upgrades just to indicate you have a slot4 item/s.

I'm sure this would help alot.

I could have ago myself at designing some icons, but i'm rather inexperinced ;P
and it would probably be quite a trival task to the oldies - each way i'd love to see something like this implemented.

    this idea kicks ****. one smilar to the icons from inside the comm chair would work or something.. but i guess you'd need a way for them to realise how to select slot4 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    I hate it too because I can't be arsed to **** around with like 3 weapons in my slot 4. I just throw my grenade as soon as I spawn so it doesn't clog everything up more.
