Hey everyone,In this second HUD blog, we go deeper into some areas of improvement we have identified with the current HUD, how we want to tackle them, and introduce some of the new functionality we want to add.One of our main goals is to make the HUD easier to read and interact with while making sure that the changes also allow us to add new capabilities that are welcome for players who have spent the time to build muscle memory around the current HUD but would want more capabilities.

Denizens of New Eden, Operation Avalon has drawn to a close, changing the face of the cluster in the process. For two weeks, from 7 to 20 July, the war reached across two fronts, warclones deploying planetside in EVE Vanguard while capsuleers completed Avalon Investigationsabove, all working toward a single goal: to build Avalon, a haven for the warclones, away from the reach of New Eden’s empires. Whichever side you fought on, thank you. Every hauler destroyed, every cypher traded, and every successful extraction pushed this shared story forward. This was one universe and one war, fought two
