What about a new Hud just for a change? you could pick from a list of oh, i dint know 14 or 15 from an ingame menu mabe at stations.

Quick, flee before someone comes and bites your head off! :P

HUDs can now be skinned, see the stickies in general discussion ;)

Not to hijack this thread... but now that we're seeing a variety of skins, I wonder if it would be possible to have a different HUD skin automatically load when flying a different class of ship... 14 in all?

I'm talking about having a unique Vulture HUD, Valkyrie HUD, Ragnarok HUD, Behemoth HUD etc...

I -beleive- that is in the works, Phaserlight. Or at least in the plans. Reno Targett would know. He's going to work on different station styles for each nation/faction, as well as their station interface, I beleive. But I vote yes.

P.S. A lot of the stuff you've suggested has already been suggested before, Alpha001 - and info about it can be found elsewhere. Try using the forum search feature.

teehee .. different stations was something I planned to do once the lua interface will be relaesed. (Atleast try)

A problem could be memory consumption. It could get higher and higher with every station you visit. I don't know if the game currently has a mechanism to "unload" unused textures or if it keeps them in memory forevr once loaded.

Doukutsu: the forum search is, and always has been, borked. It pretty much turns up the last 20 posts, whether they're related or not. :D

Hmmm.... that's strange. It usually works for me (but yeah, it could work better).

The key to using the search function is quotation marks
