I would like to see different HUDs / Holograms / Layouts per Ship manufacturer...

Hi,

I just can not understand, why it looks the same in every ship....I would love to see at least different styles/colours per manufacturer? So the you get a feeling, that you are in a different ship, when you change .... like it is in real life when you change cars for example...

In real like if the aviation authorities could make all control interfaces identical they'd be all over it.

What about slight adjustments to each brand, an octagonal radar for Lakon, circle for Gutamaya. Red hud for core dynamics, light blue for Zorgon. Just little changes to the styling not redoing the layout.

That's what I mean.... just to give it a touch of the ships brand.....

Like how car dash boards are all different in general appearance and style, while still having a mostly common design layout and showing (mostly) the same information.

I LIKE this suggestion! +1

They are actually all varied slightly. The Beluga radar is almost completely flat, and the panels are further away. In the fighter ships, the panels are claustrophobicly close. (I'm basically looking at my shoulder.) Every ship has a small variation on position, and it greatly changes the feel of accessing those UI. It's probably more noticeable in VR, though.

I agree, I remember the TVR Tuscan interior... like an Alien, Classic E-Type Jaguar with a line of toggles (later rocker switches) yeah... difference in the cockpit and the HUD

Well... you can change the HUD color if you want to. I have mine changed to make everything blue green

Not on PS4, where I play.... and not different per ship

Ah, us steam players change the HUD. If you can access files on the ps4 you can change your hud

As I said....not possible on PS4......but again...I think it should be more...should be a slightly different touch in every brand...

I would even buy different cockpit styles, in the the new store....

So would I now we get free money (400ARX) from FDev!

They are actually all varied slightly.

So on flat screen HUDs look almost equal on different ships.
And I believe this is due to intended reference to previous Elite games.
And the fact that the ships cockpits have different geometry but still produce same 2d layout I find just amazing, nice idea, good job, FD!

The actual cockpit is where the manufacturers make their individual mark - you need to only use head-look or the camera suite to appreciate the differences both between manufacturers and individual ships made by each manufacturer.

The HUD is essentially an electronic holo-display standard set by the Pilots Federation and makes perfect sense to remain that way.

I would even buy different cockpit styles, in the the new store....

Different internal skins for the cockpits is not an out of the world suggestion (option to reskin the typically white imperial cockpit internals with a black/darker variant instead for example), but I think changing the holo-display layout does not make sense IMO.
