You pay so much money to these jokers and they cannot even get the ergonomics of the HUD correct ?

A HUD does not have to be cluttered to be functional, nor should the weapons and tracking systems get neutered to give white knuckle combat. Just take a look at the HUD and combat dynamics on Elite Dangerous. From what that has been showcased on playtesting, the systems, avionics and combat dynamics in Elite is very good and they did it with a clean, compelling, believable cockpit interface.

I'm not an Elite fanboy. I'm equally annoyed with Elite's money grubbing early access 'over-salesmanship' which is why I have not pledged a cent to them.

But by comparison this SC HUD looks like an explosion of neon lights of the type you usually get at the local strip joint. Hope you poor ba$tard$ will get your money'$ worth. I have seen human orifices less cluttered than the SC HUD.
