Three suggestions for the Developer boffins!
1: Save Key bindings:
Last year I had a hard drive failure, so I had to reinstall everything all over again!
it's annoying, but it happens sometimes!
But one of the truly annoying things... is that I always have to redo the key bindings for Elite Dangerous.
Now I know you can do into the game files and make a backup of the bindings file...
...but it'd be nice if there was a way to save the key bindings in the same way as you can save the bookmarks for a web browser, or save a calendar, etc... where the program saves the bindings to a backup location, and you can just point the game towards that backup and your bindings will be ready!
2: HUD Colours
We've all seen youtubers with HUD colours that are anything other than orange.... and I do this too.
You use some 3rd party software (Dr Kali), etc, tweak the bars for each section, change the brightness, etc.
But it would be nice if there was a modification in the settings, or in the main game like the 'Holo me' system, where you can change each HUD element, and save it as a backup (so, like the bindings, you can point towards the file and reinstall when a a big update occurs.
3: Separate weapon colours
I have bought all but one (white) of the weapon colours for my ships to use.
But.... it's be nice if I could change the colour of each individual weapon, so I could fire Borg style Plasma Accelerator bolts in green.... Pulse lasers in purple, and Beam lasers in red!
I don't think these small things would be a huge thing to program, given the excellent skills of the Frontier developers!
