Dont get me wrong, I think it actually looks pretty cool.... But I think CCP has forgotten that brackets lag the game client more than anything else. So what are they doing? Adding little S/A/S indicators around them so they take up more ram!!!! YAY!!!! Will this turn off when I turn off my brackets? If so, then I say go for it! It actually looks pretty cool. But only If I can turn it on and off when I need to.

I know guys with 8+gigs of ram on brand new machines that have to turn off brackets when fleets get over 200+ on grid


For fleets it is good practice to turn all graphics down and turn off brackets and learn how to fly by your overview and FC commands.

Well it's obviously a WIP - the Raven is missing 2/3 of its health indicators.

For years people have moaned about the UI, CCP try and improve it, people still moan. They just can't win either way P

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

These changes are awesome! Reminds me of the old days of EVE, and note to this is a working P r o g r e s s. How slow does the dev have to reapeat it. Whinners plz find another improvment u need to ***** about.

It is being locked. It will be much more noticeable when you see it actually moving.


Does it really matter how fancy brackets are if they are off when they cause trouble (read:in huge fights) either way? Also, they have stated repeatedly that the new graphics will be optional.

If you watch carefully that is the targeting indicator. It probably dose a 360 to target then you get the 3 health bars.

If you're flying in 200+ man engagements, you probably won't have much use for the added information the new brackets have to offer anyways. You'll probably be focusing on shooting exactly what the FC tells you to shoot while hitting broadcast whenever you need reps.

For the rest of the game, it's grand.

Please explain how brackets use up all your precious RAM...

How about a spellchecker for the forums? I find most people who say "noob/whiner/omg/plz" tend to have a most basic grasp on whatever language they are attempting to scrawl in.

No No No CCP. I like it the way it is. (Except the targeting range bracket, thats good stuff actually)

Good stuff. One thing I worry about is that CCP is more interested in making stuff "pretty" rather than actually adding and/or improving functionality/accessibility to the UI itself. Hopefully not.

Spreadsheet in space is still going to be spreadsheet in space no matter how fancy the animations or how pretty the graphics are.

New brackets and UI improvements looks cool. Approved.

Maybe add to HP bars color borders (blue for shield, orange for armor etc)
