A Goldmine of triangular symbols to choose from^^^ So Hippie man...Pass the Onionhead duuuudee
As it stands AI fighters don't really matter too much. But Crewed fighters have the same symbol as normal player ships and I really think that needs to change in order to give all players a better tactical sense of the situation at an instantaneous glance. You don't have time to waste when 3 hostile players show on screen to be checking what they are flying while deciding to fight or flee. Why force people to look at the top and bottom of a contacts menu or cycle through their threats when you can make a simple change and give us this info at a glance? If a special symbol lights up and hits you can know in that half second whether it is a ship or fighter firing at you. That is precious time to be faffing in a menu rather than processing information with your good old radar.
It is such a small change and could do so much good for so little effort. Just draw a line through the middle and call it a day and Ill be happy.
