Played my first game in forever, and I'll get down to it. I still hate the massive health and fuel overlay, and it always makes me angry when I notice where the fuel guage used to be.

 

I get it, some people like having bright intrusive overlays, I'm personally not a fan. I hated the new UI since the day it rolled out. My suggestion is simple, really. Make it an optional in the settings menu to use the Overlay or the Cockpit Health/Fuel designs.

One of the reasons the HP and fuel bar is stationary on the screen is because you will always see as you look around in your cockpit with Oculus Rift.

I don't think it would be possible since the two are so fundamentally different. With the old cockpit, the player had the freedom to change the light colors in the settings, but the new cockpit has lots of revenue linked to it, including the crosshair, reticules, cockpit color, enemy color, and "neutral" color.

It IS possible! And if someone has to completely rewrite tho whole damn cockpit UI/HUD. Do it or atleast get rid of these damn bars! And please, get rid of the jet/plane stuff in my cockpit, especially when it's static. 

 

Man ..

Well, yes, it would likely be possible. But given the game's current condition, development efforts would be better spent in other aspects of the game, such as fixing some of the bugs that qualify this game as fundamentally broken.

People still want the inferior HUD back? It wasn't going to come back before, its not going to come back any time soon.

Maybe have a menu option to have a legacy mode. So you could play with the old hawken from beta.

I did like the subtle touch of the old cockpit. I wouldnt mind seeing it again.

 

But spending time on it where other issues could be solved? I dont think it should be prioritized.

If they can monetize the old cockpit it's worth working on it (quickly ?)

Honestly, the old HUD was great for immersion sake, but at the end of the day, the new HUD is just better for giving you the necessary information quickly.

It also helps newer players out, since they don't need to bother learning the HUD, which should be the least of their worries when trying to learn how to play the game.

Thank you for saying what a lot of veterans are feeling.  The old HUD was the best.

Whilst I liked the old HUD for pure cosmetic reasons, the new HUD is far better for competitive play.  Easier to read, less time focusing on those things, more time focusing on the objective at hand.  I appreciated the old HUD, but it's time for me (and perhaps others) to move on.

 

Although a toggle option would be nice to have so everyone is happy.
