Imho the green bar that blinks before showing if you are overheating or not leads to not knowing if next cycle is going to be on or off because the indicator of module on status is also a green halo, please change that green bar to red. I'm getting old guys and increasingly bigger monitors and resolution makes all that stuff so tiny... and yes I know i can make my UI bigger but then I can't have all the stuff I want open at the same time, and the real problem is that both indicators are green.

Thank you. Pirate

I'd like to have the game switch color schemes based on overheating status. Go from the Gallente colors to something with orange or red, Blood Raiders or whatever.

Or little animated flames over each module that's overheating, in the HUD.

Red is the halo colour of a module you are attempting to deactivate. So red colour also isn't the solution.

But you are right that Overheating needs a much clearer indicator on the UI to show what modules overheat is turned on for and what is isn't.

I mean to change the small green bar that indicates overheating, maybe put it red, not the halo around the module. Excuse my english.
