"Fog of war should not aply to the UI"

is that some kind of joke? ..........

Its rly painfull u cant short down ur weapon notifications to pure numbers or even take out the drone spam of the messages...
and after
"Group of 800mm hit with strikes -NPC NAME- for xxx damage"

Comes the next "step" to erase the fog by making the message to:
"xxx by your group of 800mm Repeating Artillery II to -NPC NAME-

U change that anyoing little black box and fill now 20% of the screen with it. *congratulations on that!*

I know -what i -got fittet -i can see the cyclese and u DONT have more than 2 weapons systems on board (+drones) -thats it!

I dont fit: a laser, 2 rails, 1 rocket launcher and a bounch of different smartbombs just to be sure ...
shesh, and even if i would, i would be dead soon anyway, who cares!


Wanna know how this works in other games? ..... *come closer.... closer.... just a bit more ///whispers///* they just show u... the freaking damage that got done... ye... thats it boys (*thats the secret*)


"U hit 999" (green text)
"someDude_ hits you 333" (red text)
"U missed" (yellow)
"someDude_ scrambles u" (cyan text)

If u want do it with more weapons fine...
try:

"Ur sabretooth hit 999" (green text)
"Ur infrared M hit 2000" (green text)

The ammo is the most interesting about a weapon, while ur in a fight!
I know that a MY LASER fires my INFRARED M.. NO NEED - to show me anything more than that!

U may change the ammo in the middle of a fight - not the freaking howle fit all 20 seconds!

...next patch add: 4 sides of the history how the weapon got produced, when the navy put it in charge and some backstory of a little girl that lost his teddy (named "ted") and well what part of the tax will support starving damsels- shesh²


that "suggestion up there" is as clean and simple as u can get
Thats clearing fog of war... not giving them more to read - what acutally nobody will ever read.
except he s bored as hell.......

U just changed the LOOK of the problem, u didnt FIX the problem -at all...
(ehm did just some apple guys join the team?)


I guess as long as im still be able to turn that **** off, i will do it....
i dont care how often i die..... at last so i can see what hit me!


oh and another "hint"
... there is a browsergame... darn old, broken down... nobody cares, but even that piece of dump got this:
Your enemy got damaged by %t hits of your weapon %wsg and done %s damage.

[Ingame: Your enemy got damaged by 10 hits of your weapon turret and done 9001 damage.]


U can modifie this message as u want, by just moving a few letters - deleting or adding - it doesnt care. (foolproof)

So EVERYONE has it individual messages (long or short....detailed or not)....
and everyone is happy...........thatsfreedom (try google on that)


and that, was my "eve style" attack message - about ur "attack messages". hf fs bb

Ever flown an auto/torp/drone phoon before? Any idea how many NPCs in missions you might be dealing with? Or what about other player ships?

Really the essential info is:
how much
by what
to/from who

the wrecking shots and excellent hits I could care less about, at least the new system scrolls instead of overwriting itself

make it customizable, like the overview
Who hit who
how much damage
at what range
with what weapon
with what ammo
and so on and so on.
max available info, you choose what you want displayed and where.
makes sense?

Did OP type that with his thumbs? Nothing typed with ones thumbs is worth reading.

Also: really, your, you, fitted, cycles, etc...

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
