Change DISTANCE FONT in new interface

Sep 25, 2006 everal link
The 'distance' is the MOST IMPORTANTE thing in combat, I can't do it if I can't see it...BUT the distance indication almost disapears in the new interface, the font is VERY SMALL and it is in the middle of all that stuff..

This is not just a bad design option, this a real 'design bug', since ALL the combat situations goes down if we can't see the distance.

You could please just CHANGE THE FONT, or put it ALSO at taget, anything, but please, SOON !!!!!

But now we have also that indication of the nothiung.... bigger, at the target window, JUST to make things more CONFUSE !!!!

If I am in combat, I need to see the enemy distance, not the nothingness distance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that obvious ????

I will need that only whem I finish and starting looking for a station... and that is AFTER the combat !!!

From the combat point of view, this is probablyb the WORST interface you could ever done !!!
Every thing else is good, BUT I ALMOST CAN'T SEE THE DISTACE !!!

Make the Distance more aesy to see.. PLEASE !!!!!

Rant Alert. I see what you're saying, everal. Don't take offense to this, but is English your first language? If it is, please try to write more clearly. If it is not, then good job learning English, it's tough and confusing, and keep up the good work.

Independently of what his first language is, excessive use of exclamation marks makes my desire to objectively read a post dwindle to very low values.

Also, the suggestion has been made before.

Please read this post before posting.

Lastly, judging distance by eye is very important. I almost never look at the distance meter in combat. I just don't have the time for it. Instead, I judge the distance by how easily I miss, and how big the target is. In combat, this is usually sufficiently precise.
