Post Target Box UI improvement
1. the direction arrow needs to be more prominent, it gets lost under the healthbar and ai name frequently. Make it red and bigger.

2. do we really need to see the ai name twice? both in the target box and in the description below?

3. the distance should probably be in the box where the ai name is, if not it needs to be top of the popup description text.

4. should show team more prominently, perhaps the team flag in the picture box somewhere too.

in c1 everything i needed to know about an ai was located in this target box, it was an incredibly effective design and enabled "at-a-glance" decisions to be made quickly.


Image vs Image

if anyone can mod this the way i like it I will pay them creds.

Agreed it was OK at first but I expected it to be better by now, last patch even made the target arrow worse and several things are zoomed in in the selection box :-/

Agreed, it's shoddy the way it is now.

Where do you think the team should be displayed to be more prominent?

something like this

Image

make the direction arrow change colour depending on distance e.g 2k+ away yellow , under 1k red.

you dont even need the word "distance" in the box, just the numbers would be fine.
