This is just some concept work by Porphyre. We need to get a real artist to polish this up, add icons to replace the text buttons, and give the interface a vanishing point (for a 3D feel). Either that or design another HUD.

Explaination of interface:

What it might look like while in combat:

Once we replace the FFE mockup parts (lower left and right corners), give it a 3D Look, and replace the text buttons with icon buttons, there will be more room for additional features. Also tucked away under the 'Nav. Control' menu would be the system map, the galaxy map, and other things useful to navigation.

This is just a concept design, made to show all of you what I would like the HUD to look like. However, I don't have the talent or tools to make a quality display. So if anyone can see where I'm going with this, then good.
