In that case, I strongly prefer that you don't implement the HP bars around the ship icon; I don't see how it won't increase the amount of eye movement needed to identify the current status of a targeted ship. A demand for increased eye movement (and thus effort to read the same information) while it occupies the same amount of screen real-estate is a downgrade, not an upgrade.

12 oclock to 4 oclock.

Will there be an indication when I or my drones hit? What will other's drones look like that hit me? What bout ships I do not have targeted hitting me, what will they look like? Im wondering what the screen will look like when 30 NPCs are all shooting and hitting me.

Can you also put back so one can minimize the chat requests?

Maybe it's not a huge deal to people, but I always thought it was lame that the damage TYPE being done was not clearly displayed. Especially for new people who might not even understand that there are damage types. But it would be good to know what type of damage is mostly being done. It might help you decide how to refit, fit in the future, or whether to run or fight.

Also, I think if you are going to be updating situational awareness, I would like to see something that tells the player what type of ship is out there. My vote is to stop using generic brackets and use an icon that represents ship type. That way when you see a cluster of ships you can know almost immediately what type of fight you might have on your hands.

Woa, too fast posted!!!! It was a double devblog...

AWESOME POST!!!!!

With really nice stuff in it!!! : )

Question:Will the damage be shown near this blinking damage Beckett?? lets say, above it? and the damage you do, over your weapons?




OBS: And.. when CCP will start to work on the big features promised in the fanfest? POS revamp and Tesselation and Ring Minning?

actually, after staring at the pic for a bit i see that its the lock timer. The avatar and one raven are already locked. The raven that is locked has no damage notifications on it. The raven that is being locked has a grey bar at roughly 25% of the full circle, which is confusing because in the other image the lock timer has just started (15 sec).

It isn't ewar i believe, its the lock timer which is slightly confusing considering there are two ravens.

Oh yes, we ensured this. All this is just re-displaying information the client already has.

I like the new aggro, target, in range and this mombo jumbo, the hit thingie is neat aswell.

However I do not like the round target thingie in the picture above it. It's hard to read what's what and it looks fine the way it is.

edit: what i meant to say in the above sentence was i dislike having the hp bars in a circle around the portrait I think it's more easily read the way it is now with them under eachother, the same way as they are under eachother in "layers" on ur ship and on ur HUD with the capacitor and all that good stuff...

While the circular brackets are nice to look at - don't they make a pretty heavy demand on CPU/GPU versus the square brackets? Client performance should be a higher goal than pretty.

Targeting circles look like change for the point of change and will just clutter up the screen when locking up many targets and being zoomed out a lot. Don't bother. Same for the 'in targeting range' things. Change for the point of change is worthless.
