Would You Like To See More Diversity In Things?

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Just a discussion.

I certainly would. I can think of loads of things that could do with some diversity.

The main two, are mostly related, which are station services and the HUD.
I'd like it if each manufacturer of ships had a different HUD colour and/or layout.

I'd also like it if different stations, based on the BGS, and whatnot, had different looking service UIs.
From really tidy, posh UIs at one end to glitchy and untidy UIs at the other.

It'd be pretty neat if stations physically changed based on BGS things too. Like lockdown or UA bombed station have most of the interior and exterior lights out, and leave just emergency lighting on, and no advertising outside, etc.

I'd also like to see NPC's using paintjobs and ship kits too.

One can only dream though!

One of my First ideas when i got there to give us more control over Hud color configuration, trough the options menu, because al trough i can easily manipulate the ini file, but taht messes up the whole color sheme of the hud, including IFF colors. Thats the other thing! Maybe a good idea to give player ships a different radar color. Just another color shade of the original red / yellow / green colors, not to mention the sub light fighters of your own. Wing ships are blue, this can be Cyan?

About NPC ship colors? I dunno, but it can also a good idea to give NPC ships an uniform color scheme based on their role. Like Military and police / alliance and such.

I don't think anyone would say no to this question, it's just a matter of priority I guess.

 

[Mendaharin Tusca]

Short answer: Yes Please

 

[GunnerBill]

Diversity?

I am sick of that word.

Fine,
Variety?

Just a discussion.

isn't that a bit like asking: "would you like to see more/divers ships in game?"

the answer will be yes.

 

[Codger]

No. Absolutely not. I want more and more of exactly the same thing, over and over.

 

[SeaFireliv]

More variety is always a good thing and it`s realistic.

Yes I would like to see more diversity.
Who in his right mind wouldn't?

I also think that FD already has been working towards that very admirably.
There are now very cool new station interiors, there are new structures in space, and we will finally have some cool asteroid bases too.
And don't forget about the new npc super ships.

What I do think the game needs very much are different station design styles for the Empire and to a lesser extend the Alliance.
I would love to see typical white Imperial constructions that are completely unique for Imperial space.
That would make Imperial space really feel different.

I also would love to see more types of npc military vessels. I want to see the military cruisers accompanied by destroyers, frigates, troop transports etc.

Some NPC did use paintjobs in the past, although I have not seen many of those lately.

Ooh, I'd love that.

Exploration - more things to look at and crash into

 

[CMDR Delts]

Realistically how hard would it be to put in different hud color options?

 

[Ouberos]

Diversity?

I am sick of that word.

In what way does diversity make you sick? Seems fairly essential to me. I find a lack of diversity tends to make things quite dull and one sided.

Certainly there are areas of the game which need a polish. Or maybe rolling in glitter if they are the sort of things which can't be polished.

 

[Vasious]

Not fussed on the HUDs as I like the Original

Would like top see a few more cosmetic differences between Factions

Be it Navies using paint jobs as Liveries or different names for System Authorities and Navies depending on Government type for independent Factions and the like

 

[Spacecat]

No. Absolutely not. I want more and more of exactly the same thing, over and over.

You've come to the right place, lol.

To OP, most of the things you mentioned are pretty minor to me, and NPCs do use custom paint jobs. FD does seem to be slowly adding stuff. I would like to see more gameplay variety, exploration content, and Alliance ships, personally.

 

[RandomGun]

More diversity. Sure. I love how the station interiors have diversified since 1.2.

There is one thing that I would like to be unique in every system. The discovery scanner HONK. I would love if it somehow reflected the astronomical objects that the scanner found in the system.

 

[Cosmo]

Yes custom HUDs and different looking stations based on the faction and system state.

Diversity is a buzzword used by the liberal media

I do like the fact that the layout is consistent across all ships. I don't want to re orient myself every time I switch ships. Plus, you can always change the hud colors in settings.
