Static component status indicators

(1/3) > >>

Urz:
While I can guess the reasoning behind the current indicators (to show new players the locations of the parts on the ship?), I'd like to see the option to toggle on a static set of indicators like the ones recently added to spectator mode. Give players the ability to more quickly and accurately see the entire status of the ship they are on, rather than needlessly scanning the borders of their screen, allowing more attention to be spent on the things happening outside.

JaegerDelta:
yes plz

Sgt. Spoon:
IMO it would make the game loose a bit more immersion

All Systems Go:
I would like to see this. Maybe it can be done in some other form but I'd like to see it or something like it.

...immersion?  Sir there are giant fucking white brackets surrounding spotted ships, they spawn in the middle of the fucking air and sound like beached whales orgasming when ramming each other.  There is no fucking immersion in this game.

That being said the current setup doesn't clutter the screen as much, if you can't see a component that's because it's already fully repaired.  It pops up with an icon and you can tell which one it is by its location on your screen.  The hull gets special mention because the screen borders turn red as you get closer to exploding.  You have to remember that the screen can afford to be a little cluttered in spectator mode, you can just move the camera or turn off the UI to get a better shot for a stream.  Mid-match while you're gunning on a ship, with the UI making it hard to see the flags on that approaching Pyra?  Not so much.
