Not really. They are already shown as a 3D indicator, having them displayed again in the menu over the radar seems redundant.

EDIT: Oh, unless you mean the indicators which tell a squad where to go and what to do from the mission system? The screen is already cluttered enough in the screenshots, adding more just makes it worse. Something like that that is relatively static compared to the rest of game play can be moved to the map menu. I don't think players need a constant reminder what their goal is every second of play.

Higby has mocked it in the past; I think it's just a red damage indicator flash ala PS1.

I do not understand. Is this a reference to how there was not actually a shit ton of pictures, but rather a slight pinch of information?

Please make all indicators adjustable for position and size.

Thanks for posting these - I also added them to the PSU library.

I thought he was referring to the Light Assault vs Lightning.

I think one of the things they got right with the PS1 UI is that many parts of it you could toggle on/off or reposition, having these kind of options helps keep people happy as some will want a clean minimal interface while others will want to pack it out with as many information indicators as they can fit in.
