User Experience
- Average FPS during fight at planet 1 in FD-MLJ, with brackets disabled - Zoomed out: 8-15
- On a scale of 1-10, how would you compare FPS and performance between this test and TQ? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) 7
- Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? No, everything went smoothly.
- Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.: After i have turned off Brackets i couldn't turn them back on. They appeard for a moment when i switched them back, but then they went off again.
The new turret effects worked for me, the turrets went passive in warp, then activated after the warp.
But the HUD icons aren't distinctive enough for turrets. I was in a Reaper, and first i thought that the civilian gatling gun's icon is poo?:D And the mining laser icon can do with some love too. It looks like a gun too.
After the mass test i checked most of the large and XL turrets, they are nice, but their icon isn't too descriptive/identifiable. What i mean is the old version of the icons weren't based on the gun itself usually, and were made like i knew when i saw the icon of it that this is a mining laser, that is a gun or launcher, and that is a strip miner. Now u made the icons from the guns actual looks, wich makes the incons ugly, and sometimes i can't even guess what is on the icon without seeing the gun's model first.
The icon needs to be more like an icon not a photo of the turret itself. Now all the different gun classes in a given size has different looks, and each has it's different icon. Imho we only need 1-1 icon for each class and size like the old way. It is too confusing now. I know what i have fitted on my ship, i don't need another icon for it. I just need to see if it is a LR or an SR weapon and if it is a Large or Med or Small weapon. Like Med AC-s had an icon and Med Arty-s had another icon. And when i looked at the HUD i knew what kind of gun i was using. With all the new icons i'm confused if i fit more then 1 type of gun. It will be as confusing to use them as to know each item's meta 4 version name...
The more powerful gun's icon can differ a bit from the less powerful ones from the same type/class, but they need to be almost the same pls (like for example dual 425mm AC has the basic icon, dual 650mm has a bit bigger gun on the icon, and the 800mm AC has the biggest gun on the icon, and all the icons are similar)!
Otherwise everything was fine!:)
