Yeah, you could be right, it's certainly similar.

It's odd though, the one we have for our ships only shows up when we have an active navigation target. If we don't it isn't displayed. The one in the Odyssey hud screenshot doesn't have the indicator dot 'pointing' towards a navigation target so either it's not hidden when inactive; or it's something else? I've also wondered if it's an indicator as to what kind of environment we are walking in. As such I wonder if maybe it is a planet because they are on a planetary surface, and on a station/outpost it might have an icon specific to those?

Either way I can say that while I do not expect EVA right now; we would need a navigational hud element in space.

If we could switch between all 3 then it wouldn't be an issue.

It would be nice.

But I don't think any country uses Kelvin as a day-to-day measurement, it's gonna be equally unfamiliar to almost everyone who doesn't have a background in chemistry, physics or engineering.

I think like any arbitrary value in a game that involves keeping an eye on dials, you'll quickly pick up what numbers are good and bad in order to play the game, which will have the happy side effect of teaching you and I a meaningful sense of the Kelvin scale (what's comfortable, hot, cold, scorching, ice world-level nippy, etc.). Which is real-world knowledge.

Don't start getting me thinking about this, it's a slippery slope. There's months to wait!

I mean I guess I could see it but it doesn't look wing related to me. It doesn't match any of the existing iconography for wings. Also while not exactly like the compasss, it is uncanny how familiar it looks. Side by Side:

Maybe you're right, though I see more this one on second position from the left:

I was kinda expecting it to be like the ships hud but this is cool. I still don’t understand why you can’t just make a next gen console version using pc ultra graphics settings and a 120fps cap. But I’m not a dev

Yeah I see that possibility as well. The brightness level of it seems to be the same through all four screenshots so I guess if it is a wing mate they didn't take any damage? Though I will say that image does bring up the point that we see two commanders working together with no clear indication of wing or party hud elements. Are they simply not in a group or is there no party hud when on the leggy bits?

Nice! Adding an entire new genre to the game is a huge undertaking, so I'm hyped for this New Era of ED. I'm excited to try out some space legs!

Just a question though: will we be able to change the location of some of the HUD elements? Like, could we move the radar to the bottom-right of the HUD? Its just a preference thing for me, but I do want to ask.

As long as you aren't planning to release Odyssey on the PS5 and XBox Series consoles.... would you please consider unlocking the graphics options on them, so that we can at least benefit from 4K resolution, and a High resolution texture pack, just as PC players with relatively less powerful hardware can already do today?

Yeah I totally agree. How hard could it be to copy the pc version but locked to ultra?
