Considerations
- Date (and explanation of importance re Vanilla Game Code development <-> HUD development)
- Author
- HUD Selector compatible?
- No. of MFDs?
- Different HUDs for different green/yellow/red conditions/alerts? / Range of alerts shown / Docked HUD?
- Precision Joystick Indicator?
- Sensitive Reticle for on target?
- Actual speed shown? / Actual Torus speed shown?
- Distance from Compass target?
- Cargo Hold indicator?
- Hull indicator?
- Extras? (eg Vimana HUD's cornucopia of goodies, DeeperSpace's Risk Assessment, Xenon HUD's sights, Dangerous HUD's noises).
- Current Location Display & Current Risk Notifier (Deeper Space HUD)
- Weapons Bay Missile identifier? (ChupacabraHUD)
- Extra reticles for other lasers (Xenon)
- Glare filter? / Glare contrast? (for reading HUD in Glare - cf Xenon HUD)
- Explicit warnings: missile approach/temp/altitude/shields/energy banks?
- Equipment Lights?
- Vanilla Optional Equipment lights?
- OXP Equipment lights?
- Customisation:
- Choice of Colours? (Dangerous HUD & Xenon HUD)
- Choice of Cockpits? (Dangerous HUD)
- Natural materials? (Mega Walnut Dash)
- Large screen variant?
Large Scanner? - see image!
etc?
The most sophisticated HUDs seem to be CB-HUD Mark III, Dangerous HUD, Vimana, Vimana-X, Xenon & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD.
Do you think that the HUD is a cheat? Gnievmir's original Vimana HUD also improves your ship (adds speed, energy, missile slots & cargo capacity, and allows purchase of a super-laser), Deeperspace HUD warns about danger based on the ratio of pirates/Thargoids to police in the entire solar system.
HUDs
The following table is optimized for a horizontal screen resolution of at least 1280px so that all OXP descriptions fit on one line.

The "Z" column indicates that an OXZ version is available in the OXZ list and downloadable within the Expansion Pack Manager in Oolite.
