Is it planned that the name of the ship also appears in the user HUD, as well as the ship manager and the mobiGlas?

TL;DRThe plan is to show ship names wherever the ship appears, including the scan AR marker and, once refactored, the ASOP terminal and mobiGlas, but it is a phased release because mobiGlas is large.

Yes. So currently, the ASOP terminal and mobiGlas are built out of Flash. So we try not to do any amendments to those systems, because they're going to be refactored or redone in Building Blocks. So the plan is for them to be refactored and to have them be displayed there. And also, under my remit in redoing radar and scanning, they will be displayed as part of the scan. So when you scan a ship, all of the party information, the ship name, ship information that you get will be integrated into that one AR marker around the ship entity, and then you'll have all the other information on the scanning. The plan is to display it wherever it is. Anytime you see the ship, you should see the ship name, but it's just a phased release, because the mobiGlas is such a big entity. It needs to be refactored, and that is something that is, again, in the pipes.
