Search hasn't revealed this so I thought I'd raise this, albeit minor, point.

The data for the ship's tank can be displayed numerically in the HUD but the capacitor can't. The tank readout is VERY handy and knowing how close the cap is to the magic 33% would be equally handy.

Maybe CCP can correct this oversight?

They added an audio alert for the Cap getting low, it can be set to whatever percentage you like.

Yea thats a real convenient thing to do when im watching transversal, range, enemy speed, dscan, local, managing overload, using boosters, managing cap booster reload, managing tank modules, managing my mwd, possibly multiboxing, talking on teamspeak, pulling in my drones, watching my drones hitpoints, choosing somewhere to align to, looking up an enemy killboard, and shooting ecm drones.

You mean I can set that really annoying noise to something like 10% so I don't have to hear it all the time when I'm missioning?

There is a God!

You all must realize by now that clarity is not the direction that CCP's art team wants to go. Lack of turning off graphical assets in missions and just generaly while in space means that your windows cant be ghosted too much or the background obscures text, lack of ghosting means you cant stack windows as strategically, and of course you cant change individual text colors.

What could possibly have made you think that CCP wants it to be easy for you ?

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

Their is a difference between a UI you can read easily and graphical assets.

Also this has NOTHING to do with the art style, especially since you can already do exactly what this guy is talking about with your health. A game that is difficult only because the UI is hard to read is possibly one of the stupidest things you can ever do when designing a game, which is why CCP has been making all sorts of UI improvments lately like visible ewar over your HP, A revamp of damage notifications, targets being improved, etc.

This is when it's at 33%:

Pretty sure when you hit 0 you'll know about it.
