Will we have the option to switch styles of radars between ships as we prefer? For example, the Vanguard has a 3D sphere radar. Could I make it have a 2D radar like the Buccaneer?

So I'm not actually sure if we're going to have that be sort of a pervasive thing that you're swapping out based on manufacturer, but just general improvements to readability, usability for any of our HUD elements is definitely something that we're looking at, and also making sure that each manufacturer does have their own sort of distinct style. So for the Vanguard, if we added an alternate toggle for it, we would need to make sure that that alternate appearance is still in the Aegis style and not just saying, hey, let's take what may be on a Drake ship or what may be on an RSI ship and just throw it on the Vanguard. Is this an Aegis 2D radar? Is this an Aegis 3D radar? And how those individual ships get chosen for that presentation.
