I've been thinking the exact same thing. Of course I'm very glad to have the information at all, but it would be a lot smarter to have it centered for sure.
Agreed.
If they REALLY insist on shoving that thing right in front of our eyes, why not display a thing that ACTUALLY matters while jumping?

Seeing "Clean" matters - well, not so much to me, I rather avoid breaking the laws, it's more profitable, and if I do... I make a point of not getting caught, but sometimes fecal material transpires and there's nothing for it but knowing where to stay away from for the time being. I also don't Powerplay...
Politics - Poli, from the latin, meaning "many" and "tic(k)s" being "blood-sucking insects". And I'd much rather be everybody's friendly delivery driver than anybody's sworn enemy, just because of the flag I fly.

Rather it moved to the already existing System Name on the lower left panel e.g.
SOL +++ Clean
Star K
During FSD Charge whilst this HUD Panel ignores the rest of the ships data and displays UNKNOWN.
We presently get the System Name in 3 (three) different places all at once!
BTW do you also not like the "You have left the No Fire Zone" messages which appear simply hanging under the top left COMs Panel?

Strange, i like it where it is. Front and center where it needs to be to grab attention.
To be dead honest, I rarely even notice what's in the COMs and Info panels. I'm usually busy paying attention to the space in front of me. Since I spend a good deal of time flying a Steely Dan (orca), I'm pretty sure no one wants rammed from behind with it, and if they do, they're not the sort of people I think I want to meet.
I like it where it is too.
And on an unrelated note, your moozipan sidewinder pic made me giggle
. Cute party hat!
I think they should do the opposite, move it all to the Info panel. That is where we're accustomed to looking for info about bounties and such anyhow.
Or move it all to the target panel, bottom left. There's so much empty space there.
I think it looks terribly cluttered and busy right in the middle.

But it ISN'T in the centre. The star class, I mean.
I kind of made peace with that piece or UI (I still mind, but I'm not getting furious whenever I am jumping, any more)
But we now have three different places that battle for our attention. The lower left panel is completely useless, now, then there is the centre piece that has some info and lastly there is a info feed in the top right corner. One of its problems is that if there are other warnings issued while the FSD is charging (combat related, station ops, scooping, etc.) the star class info gets irretrievably buried in about a half a second. If it was in the centre or, even better on the lower left panel, it would be much better.
IMHO, anyway.
Was thinking of the same thing just a while ago. While it's nice to see that info, i wish they'd put in the center so it's easily seen because it disappears really fast on where it's showing now, get distracted for 3 seconds and the info is gone.
:S
Exactly This!
Just no reason to display the same thing in three or four places on the screen.
Perhaps the info box could be moved from the near-center to the very top-center so it doesn't get obscured by - who scoops and charges a jump at the same time anyways? - other messages?
And yes, there is a fair bit of redundancy in some of the info displays, but I'll take redundant over absent information.

I'm out in the black, where all the system names are long so there's a line feed. Not a problem, but minimal is better and having the system name under INFO seems redundant to seeing it (also) in the reticle. I would rather it say "next system" under info then star class and security level and my status with that major faction if it where a populated system?
I don't think it's bad the way it is, just seems redundant.

I'd be happy if it was just moved up to the top third or quarter of my view, dead center is anoying. Really this game should have a customizable HUD. Hell Star Trek Online has it
