Right now, if you want to change the hud color, you have to hack a game file.
Many folks have asked for a HUD color option in game.
Perhaps FDev doesn't want to touch the ship UI because it's "complicated".
Here's an idea that would be better to skirt that with a cool side effect.
We recently got COVAS voices, and there's a small bit of new UI to that screen.
Why not have Per-Ship HUD color sliders changeable per ship in the Livery screen?
They can create a custom UI for the livery and allow us to give each of our ships a different hud color along with a different voice. Maybe this might be possible to extend that to the SRVs and SLFs just like COVAS.
Then they wouldn't have to touch the buggy ship HUD, just decouple it's colors from the Station UI so we don't get funny colored people anymore. (the old way of changing colors could still affect the Station UI if you wanted that to still be there, or the default colors be affect by it or what not.)
Plus, logically, it's where you 'customize' your ship anyway, engine colors, weapon colors, voices. I think the only exception here would be to allow for RGB sliders rather then pre-boxed options. (please don't do pre-box, if you intend to do that, then leave it like it is.)
Thanks.
Edit for clarity: I don't mean put the hud color option on the COVAS screen, it would be it's own option on the livery screen.
