HUD Member List:
With health bars being lost in 1.4 I think there is scope for some HUD tweaking to help squad members see the health status of their squad mates.
I propose that a "Member List" is added to the HUD with colour coding to show member statuses:
Red player name = Member dead Blinking Red player name = Member down and requires pick up Amber player name = Member requires reps. Green player name = Member OK
The distance to player could also be added to the list to assist logi's in determining if they are close enough to help.
Sure, the simplest option would be to re-enable the health bars, but I still think this feature would be useful.
Notification Text:
There are a few notifications that appear throughout a battle ranging from hacking to orbitals. This text is always orange regardless of the "side". It would be more appropriate if this text was coloured to reflect the side that is performing the action.
Enemy hacking objective = Orange Friendly hacking objective = Blue Enemy retaking objective = Blinking Orange Friendly retaking objective = Blinking Blue Enemy Orbital = Blinking Red Friendly Orbital = Blinking Blue
In the heat of a battle it can be easy to miss this text, especially the retaking of a hacked objective, it would help if the delay before the text is removed from the HUD is increased a little, or even better, there is a greyed out "history" for previous notifications.
Thoughts?

So maybe it could be something that you toggle on/off in the options. A toggle would be fine too, but since I was suggesting only your squad team mates are in the list I don't think it would take up too much room. Sure there is scope for an entire team list view, but I agree this would need a toggle.

Yeah that sounds cool too, I'm sure the CCP UI designers would find this easy to do :)
I personally like a lot of info on my HUD (coming from EvE), so long as their is some way to customise it (toggles). |

Thanks for the feedback, while I agree there is already ways to "see" certain information, that information is either fleeting or unclear.
CCP? Thoughts? |
