HUD dial with equipment icons?

This seems like such an obvious idea that I can't believe it hasn't been done, but I'm unaware of it existing. I want to see a HUD dial with little equipment icons that change as one rotates through the primed equipment. I know the default HUD includes a text dial for this, but I want images. Could one of you fellas intimately acquainted with all 800 OXPs point me to an example, please?

Not that I know of.
Coluber's HUDs have regular equipment icons (CB-HUD Mark II, CB-HUD Mark III, Coluber HUD CH01, CRR-HUD etc.) as do the Deepspace HUD, Z-GrOovY MiLHUD (not really icons per se) & the Vimana HUDs. That, I think, is it. But nothing for scrolling through the primed equipment.

Is there a definitive list of primed equipment? How many little icons would be needed, do you think? This is the sort of thing I imagine:-

Not specifically. But, if you download and extract the expansion index file (here:
https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... 260321.zip) and do a file content search for "<td>script</td>", that should produce a list for you.

There
is https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Category:Equipment - but it is not just primed equipment,
and some pages will have several pieces of equipment. Nor am I sure how up to date it is. I tried updating it before your return bearing armfuls of Thargoidificators and Encabulators!
