I've added a few OXPs to my game and now I suffer too many messages in my HUD during combat. I cannot see what I am doing and would love to remove some of these messages.
Things such as incoming missile detected, ECM activated, target locked, bounty is xxx cr. A stream of these messages goes across my screen at the start of most combat sessions and sometimes I really do not know what I am actually shooting at!!

Re: Remove Messages in HUD
I've no idea if comms messages are selectively removable, but you can move them over to one side (depending a little on which hud you use).
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Re: Remove Messages in HUD
You may find a different HUD more to your liking.. there are plenty to chose from!
Some are considerably less cluttered/intrusive than others.

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Re: Remove Messages in HUD
OK, thank you both. I will take a look at using a different HUD. I was still using the standard one as I liked the retro feel, however I think it may have run its course now.

Re: Remove Messages in HUD
Clear Hud might be just what you're looking for. Very nice Hud generally and it moves all the messages and Comms to boxes on the Hud. Messages are persistent so you can read the last 5 or so. And as all messages appear in the Comms Box they don't get in the way of the action!
