Is there a way to clean up the hud spam?
Mainly the antennas.. Can i keep the antenna on without having it show up on my hud? Half my screen is quickly becoming antenna and beacons :/

Other than just turning off all HUD of course

There's no way other than turning them off completely. I think they should be optional.

Just a consideration. In Control Panel, can't you set "Show on Hud" to Off?

1. Remove beacon.
2. Change antenna name to whatever name you chose for your ship/station.
4. Turn on "Show ship name" in antenna options.
5. Enjoy.

I meant beacons and antenna on seperate things. But that does work nicely

now that antennae are much more functional i do find my need for beacons almost useless however with that said, if the text is the problem and all you would like is a square marker to show you which way your base is just delete the text box for said antennae or beacon this makes it feel a lot less clutered.

That's what i've been doing, it seems the closest you can get

And i thought the spam couldn't get any worse.. Now all beacons and antennae are flooding my hud even when turned off -.-

Yeah it does get a bit silly when you have sevral of them dotted about and what makes it worse is the fact you can see them through everything.
It wouldn't be so bad if you could only see them with direct line of sight but no they're everywhere you look.

I wish they would make the hud so that it had three stages, 1st position = hud all on / 2nd press on Tab = Antenna and beacon hud off / 3rd press Ship/gravity and player info only.

That would be ideal.

What the need in "gameplay options" is a list of things you want on your HUD... like "my ships/stations, faction ships/stations, enemy ship/stations" etc

agreed

Minor thread necro there, hello. Bug with current patch, all Antenna/Beacons will display themselves even if disabled until you power them on/off again, and will repeat the issue each time you load the world. Likely addressed with the coming patch in <12 hours. Cycling HUD options would be neat but there's plenty more I'd like to see addressed/improved first.

I'm also now able to see antenna set to "10m" 100+m away! so sensible range limitis are working either :(

That said i do find I am enjoing things when i just turn the hud off :)
