Huge design error

[Vulpes Inculta]

No HUD colour changes, from my understanding is unacceptable. For me, the constant bombardment of neon orange is one of the worst design decisions in this game. I keep expecting a Thargoid to pop up and say "Trick or Treat!" Why can't they add something that clearly works on PC? Slight to mild discolorations in portraits? Constant orange everywhere all the time or decoloration of portraits you barely use? Come on Frontier, this is single handedly the biggest quality of life request for years now. What are you guys doing. Your posterhead YouTubers like ObsidianAnt use this and you yourselves post pictures with HUD colour alternations?

This design error is humiliating the game and it reads nothing but incompetency and laziness on your part.

Of all the things to be salty about...

One, the way its done on PC is by editing an XML file. We can't edit files. Thus we can't change the colors. They would have to go through the extra effort to add the feature officially just for consoles and there are a million and one things either wrong with the game or that can be improved that are so much higher on their list of priorities.

Second, many games don't allow you to change the HUD colors. The only game I can think of is Fallout. You're acting like ED is in the minority for not having the feature.

Turn the interface brightness down if it's bothering you too much, but don't whine already. How long did you play the game, five minutes?

It's not just that, they can't simply add a slider or something. The way the colour matrix works, you have to balance a few different aspects to have any chance of having a useful radar.
Add to that the fact that chaning the colour matrix also essentially breaks the NPC avatar photo's by changing the hue on literally everything in the UI... It's not a particularly good solution.

Tell that to someone with colour blindness.

I think it's time for you to check which Sub-Forum you're in.

Its a legit complain, i agree, Frontier planned this game form the ground up, and they did an amazing job, everything you see, do, and can do, is designed for the future, and to be able to implant features without to much of a trouble.

They forgot one thing, and thats HUD colors. Its a known annoyance, Frontier is aware, season 3 is coming, lots of QOL improvements, maybe this is one of them.

But what we dont need, is yet another HUD thread on this forums.
