Newcomer / Intro HUD icons - What are they...?

[jpjeffrey]

In the above segment taken from the On Foot HUD, there are 6 little icons, and I'd like to know what they all are.
Numbered Left to Right, 1 to 6

1. Night Vision On or off (if your suit has that capability)
2. ??
3. ??
4. ??
5. Shields On or off (I think)
6. O2 - self explanatory

3 is jetpack

2 might be torch

Those icons indicate what's using the suit's power.

1. Night vision
2. Thermal protection (dangerous temperature)
3. Jetpack recharging
4. Suit's tool in use (Profile analyser, arc cutter, genetic sampler)
5. Shields
6. Suit's oxygen

The more of these are on, the quicker you drain your charge.

Thanks for this helpful information
Of course, I knew about the shields as they drain the suit battery at an alarming rate, but I didn't know about the others
Do you happen to know the RATE OF DEPLETION for the others?
Does the same principle apply in the SRV - ie if you have Night Vision switched on in the SRV, does it drain fuel more rapidly...?

I have no idea about the rate of depletion, I am afraid: never really checked.

Also, I am unable to help with regards of the incidence of NV on the SRV's (or the ship's) fuel, sorry!
Not sure whether they have an influence at all, in fact!

Regarding battery usage:

Suit Limits and Function Battery Consumption

I was exploring out in Kepler's Crest when I wanted to figure out how long my suit could last without recharging. It turns out no one else (to my knowledge) has bothered to do this, so I figured I would take the time to determine the various battery consumption rates of every suit function. My...
