Description

If you buy Combat MFD equipment then your Multi-Function Displays will display many info from your ship:

and your target's:

  • name,
  • distance and speed,
  • shield radius, then Front/Aft orientation display and Damaged!/Weak!/Derelict flag,
  • laser weapon type and range (after a shot),
  • status: Clean/Offender/Fugitive, if derelict then Trap or Treasure/Empty/Mined/Usable (see Towbar OXP).


Use the ";" and ":" keys to select an MFD and enjoy the view. ;)

Compatible with Telescope OXP if lock far targets and ShieldEqualizer+Capacitors OXP: if shields are over 100% then either Shield Boosters are installed or Shield Capacitors are filled also.

The "Damaged!" flag shown when the target's exhaust plumes are blinking (below 40% energy) and show "Weak!" when blinking strongly and drop sparks with CustomShields OXP (below 20%).

If your HUD has support for this (like NumericHUDv3.25) then you will see these words near your crosshairs also. The support mean the following lines in the legends section of your hud.plist:

{ equipment_required="EQ_DTADAM"; x=30; y=40; y_origin=0; height=20; width=16; text="Damaged"; alpha=0.5; },
{ equipment_required="EQ_DTAWEA"; x=30; y=40; y_origin=0; height=20; width=16; text="Weak"; alpha=0.5; },
{ equipment_required="EQ_DTADER"; x=30; y=40; y_origin=0; height=20; width=16; text="Derelict"; },


SEE indicator

The top right corner show letters about how many shields, armour and energy remaining. Each letter represents 2 energy banks in strength and ordered by from outside to inside. Small letters mean one side is up only.


"SEE" mean you have basic Shields (2 banks=128 points) and 2*2 Energy banks filled (4 banks=256 points), as a Cobra Mark III at start.

The total length is relative with your ship's defensive strength. The strongest Andromeda has CCCCCCCCMBSAAAAAAAAHHHEEEEEEEE. :)

A letter will be changed to "-" if drops below the half of the banks represented by this letter so "-E" mean less than 3 banks filled and more than one.

Underscore "_" mean equipment damage which prevent regeneration, you should fix it in a dock. Checked damages:


The number in the corner show the total value in banks (64 points).

If you see "LAST BANK!" here instead of letters then ... well, you know. (Flee! ;))


One-shot indicator

The space rightwards from shield percentages show letters to indicate one-shot equipments, in order:
