while i have alot to say about the new fighters since most is probably not ballanced yet i wont


but on the UI there was a small thing i could see be changed

the launch and recaul fighter icons could be more intuitive (i found myself fumbling alot)


take the current "launch fighter" icon and turn it 90 degrees counter clockwise and make that launch

then turn it 90 degrees clock wise and make that return and dock

EDIT: also if at all possible


make it so a damaged drone over X amount of health shows up yellow then below X turns read so you dont have to hold your mouse over constantly

THIS! When attacking other fighters it would be nice if the individual fighter marks changed color as they get lower on health, hovering over it did suck.

I also want to add: Make the fighters groups microwarp ability go on cooldown like a ship ability, so when you turn it off it doesn't keep blinking for a minute and then turn off... put the little tick marks around it like cloaks, and microjump drives do on Tranquility.

I also saw something else that needed tweaked, when attacking targets it would tell me how much damage the target was taking, but not from which fighter group. You should have it say something like "Fighter Group 1 does 400dmg smashing"

And then on the target lock Icon, when the fighters attack instead of having a drone mark beneath it, or nothing in the current case, have the targets that are being attacked have like "FG1" below it, or if two groups are attacking something like "FG1, FG2".

FG = Fighter Group

this is already how it works but its very buggy most of the time i got the normal cool down ticks but some times i got both red and green flashing and other times the icon just vanished then cam back after the cool down and duplicated the entire row. (giving me two of each button.



another thing i would like is if fighters are more than say 10km from their target (location or enemy) the blue line that shows where they are going could have the range from that target along it to give you a better idea of when your fighters are in range
