Radar Indicators

The ones on the HUD that say "S" for station or "[number]" for wormholes. I would like to see these at 40 - 60 opacity, so you can see any missiles or enemies that might be directly between you and the sig on the radar or beyond.

Yes, this is needed, i have been hearing a beeping in s9 and i keep on looking for the dot, but the dot is covered by the station.

Yea, that is a good idea now that we have modular stations that take up a large area on the radar screen.

While we're redesigning the radar, can we PLEASE have a los function?

los takes a lot more to add in than simple display modifications.

Yeah, but it means more in the long-run. Think this way: A LOS function for the radar could probably have some or most of its code reutilized in a los function for the weapons. And for the targetting. And etc.

what's a LOS function?

Line of Sight. IE, you can't damage things behind asteroids, you can't see through solid objects, etc.
