Not sure if anyone has brought these up, but here are some ideas of mine. I know that there has been a lot of talk about the HUD, to me it works pretty well but, I would like to add a couple of small things. I really like the redsign that Suricata, http://img13.exs.cx/img13/4870/vendettadisplay2.jpg did in the forum, but I prefer the radar at the bottom as it currently is and would like the targets in the upper section. 3d ship views with damage is a great idea.

I would really love to have what the cargo is displayed without have to use the scan "k" key to check each one. Just have it show up in the target window.

Why is there no sell button in the station "cargo hold"? There is unload and sell, but why not a sell, so you can sell from the storage on the station?

Also, not sure if I am the only one that has this trouble, but bigger arrows (maybe 3d so they can be seen from straight on) for the landing pads at the station would be nice.

On the subject of HUD improvements: how about the onboard cargo? Perhaps have three modes for the inventory: the two that exist now (open and closed) and a third that expands farther with a text description of each cargo item. It's kinda distressing to pick up cargo, forget to check it, and have to drop it, hit B and then K just to find out if it's scrap metal :)

Also possibly a jettison cargo besides each item in mcn's third screen, so that way, you can jettison said scrap metal when you don't want it.

NO! Save the scrap metal! There are missions that specifically ask for the scrap metal and people are wandering around trying to find it! I bet you could sell it to a player for a tidy sum. Besides if you take scrapmetal to an out of the way station you can earn 300-500 a crate.

Yeah, you definately want to save scrap metal, I have heard about people selling it to other players at 1000 per unit. But a way to jettison individual items would be nice
