FEATURE REQUEST: HUD Text for weapon selection

[silvershadows]

Very possible. Like I said, I'll check after work and confirm. I try not to use my weapons until they're maxxed out so I may've just freaked that I saw blue instead of red. What server are you on silver?

 

The Ebon Hawk.

Regardless of the icons (which do change), having text would be nice, as it takes a while to learn all the icons, especially when jumping around between ships and setups.

Hiya man, and thanks kindly for the suggestion! I went in game as soon as I read that and altered the HUD. It's helpful, but still not the solution I would like. The icons for cluster/conc missiles are visually similar (a few bumps to differentiate, not terribly helpful for corner-of-the-eye vision) and the ammo counts are also similar after a while in a fight so I can't rely on ammo count as an indicator. So, while having the visual closer to the center is nice, it's still not 100% solving the issue.

 

It HAS been helpful for other things like the map, power displays and so on, so thanks for that!

 

My request stands, I still would like a small, four letter code displayed near the HUD indicating Secondary weapon selection.

 

Cheers!

There are two icons. One looks like a gun. Use the gun to shoot people. Use the box to do everything else. Don't ask me why the second gun is a box.
