I always thought that adding a unique color to the HUD would help, but I never realized how much of an impact it can have visually to the gameplay experience. Here are what I like about the HUDs you posted...
1. The unique color, of course. It makes it feel like you're wearing a particular RACE of a suit rather than just having to look at your own hands to get that feeling. It also gives you a sense of the overall design philosophy behind each race.
2. I would very much like to see the squad commands displayed more visually. Seeing them on the top right corner of the screen in a bland color that can easily be overlooked is not something to experience when you want to know if you have an orbital available.
3. The transition via the HUD is an excellent idea. Although I would recommend throwing in some static flickering of the entire HUD to signify that your consciousness is in transit to a battle clone body. Alternatively, one could add in a cut scene of a merc getting shipped to a nearby district in the meantime.

Jokes aside I am so glad to see the great reception thus far with these concepts! I just hope i can get CCP attention and start a little bit of discussion about the subject! Anyway mate I am very grateful to hear your reaction and I hope you stick around for more of my work later on! Cheers!
No problem, man. It's just nice to see ideas like this every now and then. Up to this point, most of the threads have been about "buff this", "nerf that", "QQ@Jihad Jeeps", etc. It got tiring. But then this original idea of yours came up and I was like "finally, something different".
