The persistant cross hairs when you are targeting something are a little annoying. While I see there use people keep saying there is a way to turn them off. I must be looking in the wrong spots.
Will some one direct me to where the option is? Thanks.

It would not be bad if it was the one that was targeted for action only but right now it is for every thing you have locked. Even if you are not in the combat overview.What?
Short cut would be better but the next post will tell me that is exactly what there is but it sure is hard to findSmile

Short cut for "Special Bracket Display" tested it did not notice any change but it was only on some cans at the testing station. What does that option do?
That crosshair option has been in the game for a long time, and is in the ESC menu, in the General tab I think (I think we will be moving that).

And as far as I can tell the special bracket display is to show you brackets on large collidable objects and moons.

Thanks for the response. The stand alone cross hair removal option still is hiding from me. I am sure the removal option is included in the hud removal option but i want it a stand alone option or an option for the cross hairs to fade out once a module is activated on a target. The new module activation line is a good replacement for this feature if all targets has them. They could use lines movement to guage tranversal. While not a perfect solution it could work.

The names for these hard to understand option needs to change so they are clear to understand.

Haha, you are correct because I have no idea what you are talking about P

But we haven't yet added disabling options for the new stuff.

Hi there,

Is there anyway you could add a feature to allow the player/pilot to set their ship's velocity more acurately? Maybe right click the velocity icon in the UI get a pop up and enter the desired velocity to the 1 digit? And a feature to set fleet velocity this way also for the FC?

Thanks for your time.

OMG that target tracking camera is now my most anticipated feature. Thanks to whichever team developed/implemented this. Big smile

Edit: and i take back what i said in the past, the circular target icon looks pretty cool now.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Why?
Did u think about fleet fights? You know that with this UI its impossible to see who is targeting you, btw i didnt think that its gonna work fine when two or more 300 people fleets fight.

^^ LMAO Big smile

That second image of the tactical overview would be nice and much needed IMO.

I think that CCP doesn't ever think about functional and informational content, they just wanna make it more beautiful.
