Good evening commanders.
I'm a long time lurker first time poster, so far I've put in numerous hours into the game and it looks and feels like the real deal. However i didn't come here to stroke ego's i came here to point out a few suggestions regarding HUD and UI layouts;
1. A clock, yes i know we have one at the stations however in space it would be nice to have a clock on the dashboard to keep an eye on when's a good time to go check for missions.
2. Customizable layout, also i have seem users post about color changes but something that would be interesting is a significant change between manufacturers standards for displays.Or the ability to mod a interface like in *cough* WoW *cough*
3. Please oh god please indicate which part of the orbit of a space station is in front of or behind a planet. unless I'm missing something i can't find a way to tell which is front or back.
Minor things i know quibbles mainly however these are a few of my favorite things, in regards to docking though I'm getting a lot of grief from styx in particular where the game will lag and i will end up either in or outside the station. The amount of credits lost is hardly worth mentioning i can accept that inertial drift and pilot error come into affect for 90% of the crashes but a fail safe for an unstable connection or instance would be nice, something like kick if your ping is too high. I'm now running with no shields and after purchasing my glorious ASP I'm shrieking like a girl when a station flips from end to end, no joke i was facing the front and closed into a few hundred meters and the whole station decided it was facing the wrong way then it just faced the other way leaving me flying straight into the rear ports.
Anyway TL;DR Please can i have a clock, personalized dashboard, indicators to show me which part of an orbit is behind a planet and fail safes for docking.
P.S.
this is without a doubt one of the finest games i have owned in years keep up the good work Frontier.
