This is a MUST.
Perhaps the option to add a neon colored aiming cursor, or even better - a negative.
What do I mean by negative? I believe this is what Counter Strike uses - the cursor’s color is the opposite color of what it is hovering over. If you are over white, the pixels over the white sections are black, and the portion over a black is white, so that not the whole cursor changes colors but it is reactive.

A negative alone is not good since it adds a tremendous amount of colors again, even on negative you would lose it, experience with your mouse’s pointer options on a colorful wallpaper. Go afk with the pointer in a colored area of the screen / over an icon or wherever then return, make sure you forget where you left it and try to find it in less then 0.5-1 seconds without moving the mouse.
CS actually uses a colored ch with 80% opacity, that’s why in some situations it may appear as negative and is always in the center of the screen which is why you cannot lose it.
In a previous post on this thread i already explained after previous tweaks where we got at as best result, read the reasons again pls: [http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?/topic/19611-losing-track-of-your-aiming-reticle-make-it-more-noticable/?p=204666](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/19611-losing-track-of-your-aiming-reticle-make-it-more-noticable/?p=204666)
The ch i refer there to is here: [http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?/topic/19611-losing-track-of-your-aiming-reticle-make-it-more-noticable/?p=204226](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/19611-losing-track-of-your-aiming-reticle-make-it-more-noticable/?p=204226)
If that’s not good (add custom colors if you want), i don’t know what else would be good.
I don’t know if this is at all being looked at since it’s already @3 months old with no confirmation.
A clarification: current ch colors are white with a very very thin black*** outline. At least that outline has to be thicker, then have custom colors with the white area. That’s the result we got at.
EDIT: seems this was already forwarded to the devs, thx Error, just saw the thread below.

***updated, wrote ‘white’ instead of ‘black’, sorry
Worst HUD ever in a space sim,do someting now!!!

You must have played very few space sims to make such a bold statement.
This isn’t a very difficult request, and a lot of players have been requesting this improvement. A few of us have even made some quick photoshop examples. Please seriously consider doing something about this.
Renaming ships was more important.
Times like this, I wish I could upvote the OP multiple times. Support.
Looks like the devs had no problems making the synergy level in the hangar more visible, even though nobody had problems reading the numbers in the first place.
But making the reticle more visible which would benefit everyone in every single battle is something they’ve been doing their best not to do for over a year now.
Strange priorities…
Remember folks, its not what the consumers want.
It’s what the producers feel like doing at the time.
Here’s a concept for a dual-shade aiming reticule. It won’t get lost against bright backgrounds due to the black outline, but it also is highly visible due to the bright green coloring. It would also be nice if pilots could choose a custom color for the inside in the options menu.

This would be nice +1 :good:
Bump for irony. Should have asked for an invisible reticle and you’d have gotten a brightly visible one!
:effort:
I don’t know about you , but sometimes I completely lose track of my aiming reticle. I’d love to see the graphic for for it beefed up a little - thicken the lines maybe, or at least give us the option to.
In fact, down the road I’d love to see UI mods a la World of Tanks for this game, but I’d settle now for a reticle that doesn’t disappear when two or three ships are shooting at me
What have you done!? :facepalm:
Completely agree the current color/appearance is terrible.
Losing your reticle is no longer an issue! Be proud.
Unless you see lava, or a bunch of enemy ships huddled together at a distance…
We need to stop asking for help and just be grateful that Gaijin allows us to play.

Because you dont see it at all?

Exactly.
So much for that one, I guess.
It’s no wonder I don’t log in much anymore.
Wow, they are NOT helping there community. Fail as devs.
