I no like. Sorry but a 3d radar isn't easy to consult for information, the only imrovement is that the circle around someone should ALWAYS be bright, not as faded as the person.

call it a prototype. just to give someone the idea of what it COULD look like, not necessarily what it will look like. but i can make the colors brighter if ya like :)

Weel the current radar works just like xwing, and gives you an easy 3d overview of your surrounding without having to focus on the radar simply looking at the corner of your eye. But there could be more info in them like somekind of change for the enemies targeting you. Or targeting a transport that you are escorting.

Though there should be an interactive map like in that sierra 3d space RTS eeeh i forgot its name. But then a map like chewy said would be in order.

I just like the radar as it is now, i wouldn't want a radar like in rouge squadron.

But buying worse and better radars would make it possible for the devs to see what works best. (idea)

I would like to see Asteriod's shown on radar.
Its not that you cant see them. It would just benefit the players.

Perhaps if they show up as a faded colour? Grey maybe?

Cheers

I don't get it... unless you're waaaaay out in deep space you can see the asteroids clearly without radar.

I can see them on radar too. They show up as grey dots.

We've always had the plans to eventually make your HUD somewhat configurable. It will let you choose what type of radar you want from the available types. There will be the current one and a 3d one and others that look interesting and are useful.
However that is not something we're going to do soon.

Would these be part of the planned component system?
