Is there a chance the HUD on the Freelancer can get an update?
TL;DRYes, no HUDs are finished, and the UK team is working on bespoke manufacturer HUDs, with a Freelancer mock-up that looks good but isn't available to show yet.
Absolutely. None of the HUDs are finished. There's kind of a generic HUD spread amongst all the ships right now, but I know Zane and the entire team in the UK are working on bespoke HUDs for all the different manufacturers.
In fact, that's one of the specific reasons we shipped Zane off to the UK, to do more with HUDs.
He was working on it when I was there in the UK and did a little piece for the BBC on it.
It's the side effect of putting the game out while it's still being built. You're going to see a lot of things in temporary transient states, and HUDs are definitely one of those. They've got some cool stuff. I've seen the mock-up of the Freelancer HUD. It looks very cool.
You're such a tease. We should get that and show it to people.
I will ask Zane. He's not always the easiest person to get a hold of. And that particular image isn't checked into Shotgun. I've tried to show it before.
