The segmented display seems to be related to how small the standard size fuel tank is, from my admittedly patchy memory the FdL a ship notorious for a lack of fuel capacity has the segmented display.

I took my Corvette over to the recent 'Battle of Mudhrid' which was kinda fun. I don't often do conflict zones.
Having recently unlocked the Guardian Shield Reinforcement I tweaked the loadout and turned it into an utterly shameless shield tank. It was insane. I almost could have taken off all the weapons and just rammed everything to death!
Once the CG was over I returned to ShinDez and was looking through my fleet for anything that deserved a new Black Friday PJ as I'd collected over 18k Arx over time (just by playing, I'm boycotting buying Arx until EDO gets on to console) and it occurred to me I hadn't used my FDL in ages, so I took that out for a spin in a Haz Res and was reminded how much fun it could be to fly. Such a contrasting experience to the Corvette.

Me: Is there a list ? If so, where do I find it ? Thanks.
Me again: You had me really hopeful, only to be disappointed again ......
It's alright, let's forget it. I have mine, they have there's.
eg.
Thingy One (thick yellow fuel line of the fuel gauge showing ..................)
Thingy Two (thin yellow fuel line of the fuel gauge showing ............................................)
This is the only list I know about:

Hello there!

That's more like it ! Thanks.
What do the 3 green circled dots indicate ?
Weapon reticles. You'll never see them unless you start using weapons.
Thanks.
What do the 3 green circled dots indicate ?
Thanks. Surprised they are not red in colour .........
Note that the Wiki entry was written by someone and contains their understanding of the terms. I don't agree with all of them
I've never seen green ones, they are usually FD orange. I guess CMDR-NOBODY has modified his HUD a bit.
Yes, very much like my list, they are open to error.Note that the Wiki entry was written by someone and contains their understanding of the terms. I don't agree with all of them
However, it's something, and that is so important.
Discuss, debate, disagree ...... it's there to do all of that.
Likewise with my list, at least there are two lists to do just that now.

Correct, I used EDHM to modify my HUD elements color.
I'm still out exploring undiscovered stuffs. Here's a few screenies from today.
These were rather deep canyons. You can see me on the edge in the bottom left, for scale. The canyons were full of plantlife in some places.
This place was rather stark, but still beautiful.
Colorful lighting as the sun rises higher

same here switch to bt, Still Waiting...... from origin broadband has soon has anyone pickup the telephone the internet online went offline ...great advert for you origin broadband
A couple of things...
1) I've just tried a power on mission wth fires but the "progress" to coompletion still appears to be bugged so you can't tell if you've done all the required stuff. Is this still a bug?
2) Do not, under any circumstances, use DPD*. I am repeatedly getting a "sorry we missed you" from them despite them never appearing in my road or leaving a calling card and my being in all the time. I'm now seeking legal advice. A very long story indeed and the scum still have my spanky monitor
- I'm struggling to find their complaints page too. They're quite the most annoying company I've ever dealt with. If anyone has a link, I'll gladly serve them Lavian brandy in a cavier wrapped gold goblet for the rest of their lives.
* Unless they work OK for you.

Hope you never get DX Deliveries... I literally watched the van arrive in my office car park, turn around, and leave. I got a text saying "The driver couldn't find the entrance, we need more information."
...did he consider it might be a door?
DX also have no communication methods. They have three phone numbers, all of which go to an automated "this isn't the line you wanted" and hang up on you. Quite hard to give them that information they wanted...
(It turned out that the label on the package didn't have a name or company name on it - but still, they need their phone numbers to work.)
Let me talk more positively, and stop being grumpy, particularly at this wonderful thread.
Excuse my ignorance, but what are "DPD" and "DX" ?
I've avoid looking them up on Google in case I get linked ......
