I just logged on and launched for the first time in a long time. For background, I am a Reb Master Pilot flying my Heavy X-Wing.


Anyway, the new radar is unreadable. All blips are white X's. No reds, no blues just white x's. Its impossible to read it also. Cant't tell what's in front or behind me, like you could with the old radar.


Something else: Both the old and new radar screens have your current shield and armor strength indicated by a band which encircles the radar. In the past this band would update indicating current strength.The new one does not update. The bar remains static.


Has anyone else noticed this? What do youthink of it? What can we do to get this one working or revert to the old FUNCTIONAL radar?




I see you have constructed your own Mineral Scanner.
Impressive. Most impressive.

I like one of the radar selections...kinda reminds me of the old "Elite" game for the comodore 64....
To bad some of the radar selections do not take into account the overcharge functions nor can it be resizable.
I wouldn't mind if the radar was resizable....cuz if it was i'd put it right over my center reticle instead of off to the side.

i really dig 1, but after a while i realized it was kind of silly to have the same info displayed twice on the screen. i can see why they nixed it though, imagine explaining to new players how to use that thing? yikes.
