It is different.
It is a horrible waste of development time.
Its utterly useless and not necessary.

What does it do that the current version doesn't? Except show up in your "cross hairs" on the UI? It shows you the Shield/Armor/Structure amount of your locked and/or selected target. It just looks different. its round instead of 3 bars.
I dont see how the current version is hard to understand. You target someone, they show up on your screen with shield/armor/hull right under their picture in 3 bars. YOu hover your mouse over the bars and it tells you the %. I don't get what is hard to understand about the current version that it is necessary to take up more space on the screen and take up more dev time.
again. WASTE. OF. TIME.

I dont see how turning the S/A/H indicator from 3 bars into a circle adds any new information

again. WASTE. OF. TIME. You don't have to show cross hairs after more than now. New information displayed inside the target box is awesome It's a very nice revamp of an old element of UI still looking like stuff from 80's console games, wise time invested in recoding and for further changes. Different opinion.
maybe i missed it. Where is the "new information in the target box"? There is nothing new there, they just changed the shape of the status bars.

Its a better read from the blog and not some image as it cant be easily shown. Quote: When they start aggressing, the 'yellow box' will turn red (but it will still be pretty subtle). However, as the hits start coming in, a new 'hit icon' will flash around the bracket, one for each hit from that pilot. The opacity of the icon will be determined by the damage of the hit. If they are shooting at you with a weapon that has short cycle time but each shot doesn't deal much damage, you will see many faint hit icons, very rapidly. If they're shooting you with something that really, really hurts, the hit icons will be very strong when they flash but you might not see them as often if the cycle time of their modules is rather long.
We have not yet come up with an exact calculation method for the opacity of the hit icon but we are working from this right now:
opacity = hitHP / (ourShieldHP + ourArmorHP) * magic And they have been reading requests from the comment thread about more e-war info shown though targeting.
I understand the brackets will have some upgrades. What I am questioning is the reasoning behind the circular S/A/H indicators and why they are getting rid of the timer that tells you how long until your target is locked.

They're also not getting rid of the timer.
Yes, They are
a grey bar going in a circle (like a module) is not a good substitute for a timer with digits
