New colour HUD settings.

The new color options in the game settings is a bit of a disappointment IMO. There are too few options to have control over. Only behing able to colour the empier colours sucks. The empire color should be different from enemy and faction,

So I should be able to set so capture points for TR is red but "random faction friends" are blue. And NC objectives are blue and NC players are red. Liked it used to be if I wanted to have that.

i'd love to play in empire colours but then i haveto have friendlies red on the mini map.....

I'd like to be able to colour the kill spam empire colours, objectives blue purple and green, and have the mini map green and red

Yea, so as TR friendly capture points on the map are blue! Huh?]

Even after playing with the options there is no sensible setting it seems.

e.g. I'd want capture points to be the colour of the owning Empire, ie the same as the map.
Colours should be able to be nominated for friendlies, enemies and squad/platoon vehicles.....

I'd like to hear of any good sensible setting though if anyone has any.

Yeah, they should add a "classic" setting so people can have the setting they've been used to up until now.

That said, I actually do like having everything set to empire colours. I just need to get used to blue and red not being what i'm used to them being.

Try setting Red for NC and Green for VS and TR, I dare you...

Well this is a HUGE improvement for us colorblind players.

But its a shame we cant set squad colors.

I play NC and Im pretty much forced to use red or orange for NC while I use blue for TR now because if I make TR red I cant tell them from my squad.
It would would be preferable to be able to set squads to a differnt shade of blue.

I don't grudge you any improvement in your ability to play.... but I *do* grudge having weeks and weeks of muscle memory flushed down the commode. I keep shooting at friendlies and trying to 'resecure' friendly flags.

It should be an option you can turn on if you need it, not default sweeping changes for the rest of us.

Empire selection is really confusing, so i just use enemy selection. I tried to play around with it but doesn't really make things better lol.

Not sure how it's disappointing.

It lets you choose colors you want... doesn't mean it's the last HUD update, ever.

I give it a thumb's up... improving.
