i checked for scale. icons didn’t fit, needed rescaling -15%
buffs / debuffs gotta go horizontal to fit 6 or more
Looking good. Now just to add the missing stuff:
> player killed player - ‘killed’ changed with weapon icon
> arrows for enemies, allies and missiles (white arrows with specific colored strokes for stuff in range could go just as well as having a number on them)
> distances at lock ons
> percentages at HP bars and numbers on speed and energy
> obviously the refined reticle from the other thread added
> spot for passive modules? (smaller icons)
> stuff i am missing
Suggestion: flash effect to mods coming out of cooldown.
Kine…a picture is worth 1,000 words…your picture is worth 1,000,000.
Gank complicate, the Kine HUD update has been applied, that…was…some…EPIC WORK Kine! XD
First file is 100%, second file is 50% transparent HUD elements
The arrow size tells you whose near by… Big is close little is farther away (note yellow missile arrows)
the 6/1036 is 6 locks closest guy is 1036
the 5/903 is 5 missiles locked, closes 903
White arrow is still your lock, so the red arrow on white arrow, means you both are locked on each other.

looks good. add in the few other (namely in Astraal’s list) and you can call it done ?

Nice result!

That and the transparency should really be a separate option for everyone at their own will, i’m fine with both. Only 25% transparency should suffice too.
Ok Again a little confused, I am looking at Astraals list and I think we have all of that, what did I miss?
Once we get done with this we can ship it off to the Dev team and say “make it like this~!”
P.S. OP talks about how we should be able to tweak transparency and colors on our own so that’s been covered

Looking good. Now just to add the missing stuff:
> player killed player - ‘killed’ changed with weapon icon > I still see the text ‘killed’ between 2 player names instead of a weapon icon in the kill feed.
> arrows for enemies, allies and missiles (white arrows with specific colored strokes for stuff in range could go just as well as having a number on them) > covered, was looking at Kine’s post when i was writing this - however it could probably use a color tweak and have the edge of the arrows colored and center white (just a bit of aestethics
) - size differences: missile arrows scale with distance (closer = bigger); ship arrows will be the same size except for your current target (which should be the bigger one) and show 2 colors only when in range of your weapons (a blink effect could show who is targeting you and a pulsing glow effect for shooting you and different transparency levels for how much damage it hits you compared to other attackers)
> distances at lock ons > covered, lock ons and important objects alone, not all things because the HUD will be cluttered heavily - double colors like in the arrow case could solve the distance issue decently
> percentages at HP bars and numbers on speed and energy > percentage display still not done
> obviously the refined reticle from the other thread added > doesn’t matter, consider it done
> spot for passive modules? (smaller icons) > not done
> stuff i am missing > clueless
Suggestion: flash effect to mods coming out of cooldown. > just a good suggestion
It’s all pretty much done, just some refinement and visual aestethics now. At least i want to go to the end with it 
I still think the best results could be achieved giving option for customizable addons, i.e. where UI is based on XML and some scripting language(lua/python). Thous who have played WoW know how amazing stuff users can come up with, if they have an option to do so.
> player killed player - ‘killed’ changed with weapon icon > I still see the text ‘killed’ between 2 player names instead of a weapon icon in the kill feed.
- you want it to say Bob (show weapon Icon) frank?
2 colors when in range of attack?
- how do you know what weapons they have until they fire? and with Implants / horizon mods, range changes further.
(a blink effect could show who is targeting you and a pulsing glow effect for shooting you and different transparency levels for how much damage it hits you compared to other attackers)
- ok let me make another pic with ships on screen to cover this.
> percentages at HP bars and numbers on speed and energy > percentage display still not done
- That is an idea but we are tying to limit how much is on the screen, 2 bars is easier to look at then 2 %numbers.
> spot for passive modules? (smaller icons) > not done
- just make the passive modules smaller?
Suggestion: flash effect to mods coming out of cool down. > just a good suggestion\
- I cant add flashing effect to a picture 0.0 but will put it in OP
Hmmm I dont have any art work for bob (weapon) dan …
Otherwise…The bright red is the ship that has hit you the most, the lighter red did less damage. Whatcha think.

- you want it to say Bob (show weapon Icon) frank? > yea, people complain(ed) about the battle log after the kill feed became what it is, so showing the weapon directly in the feed should do the trick (and maybe add ship icon belonging to the one who destroyed the other?)
2 colors when in range of attack?
- how do you know what weapons they have until they fire? and with Implants / horizon mods, range changes further. > your own range, not theirs, so you know who you can shoot at off screen (the game already has it, i’m stating it for the hud we’re working on)
(a blink effect could show who is targeting you and a pulsing glow effect for shooting you and different transparency levels for how much damage it hits you compared to other attackers)
- ok let me make another pic with ships on screen to cover this. > 99% right, just make the blinky stuff a circle or something around the ship defining icon, not the entire ship, and it should work ‘in real time’, so it blinks at the moment of shooting you and calculating 1.5-2 seconds before / after the act
> percentages at HP bars and numbers on speed and energy > percentage display still not done
- That is an idea but we are tying to limit how much is on the screen, 2 bars is easier to look at then 2 %numbers. > true and not true, for a quick glance the bars do the job, but sometimes when you compare incoming dps vs rep, some numbers can really help, especially when testing stuff (and a percentage show does better than an absolute readout which can get you lost when you check frigate HPs)
> spot for passive modules? (smaller icons) > not done
- just make the passive modules smaller? > i think i didn’t explain right, my bad: passives are the mods that don;t need activation, like shield slot, energy slot, CPU slot etc. (on the left and right of the active mod list when fitting the ship)

Will work on it if I can find the graphics to use…
-
Gotcha, our own weapon range… well, you cant shoot your guns at stuff less your aiming at it…so you mean missiles range?..ok I can tweak it for missile range
-
MMMM, can ya give me an example, I have tried things like that but they don’t seem to look right so far : /
-
hmmm guess it can be optional which you pick.
-
Smaller passive…ok
Closer to what you asked for???

haven’t read what every one has written but instead of just changing everything, why no just make it costume, so everyone can change color, design and theme to the HUD? in that way no one will get mad if they change every thing in the HUD.
some one has probably said this but i just wanted to say it to then 
We rather hope they will do that very thing, if not, here’s what the majority seems to agree on (I personally pref the energy, shield, hull right where it is but…ehh I am flexible so
where i can download the different HUD colors ?
The dev team needs to implement that : /
OY DEV TEAM this topic is finished you can reap the fruit of my hard work and fix stuff!
Hello guys,
I have forwarded the feedback to the devs.
A thing I really want to see changed is the “target lock window”. I’d like it to give more info, like HP in numbers of the target, and the range between you and him. It would be very useful IMO and should be relatively easy to implement since the info is already on the screen basicly(exept for the numbers)
Edit: ill make a picture…gimme a sec
Something like that? xD
