The Vanilla game HUD

Considerations for choosing a HUD

The most sophisticated HUDs seem to be CB-HUD Mark III, Dangerous HUD, Vimana, Vimana-X, Xenon & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD‎.

Clutter

Do you want a good view of everything in space around you? Or do you want lots of dials/MFDs giving you information about the space around you?

Viewscreens vs Windows, Consoles

Do you envisage yourself as looking out a window with a HUD projected onto it? Or as gazing at a viewscreen?
And do you want to see a control console in front of you?

If you prefer windows, the Dangerous HUD is the most extreme example. If you prefer viewscreens, try the Plagiarism HUD.

Consoles are available from the Deepspace HUD, Deeper Space HUD, Fighter HUD, Isis HUD, MegaWalnut Dash, NovaLux, Steampunk, Trek, Venom, Plagiarism & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD. See HUD images here for more information.

Size

There are two considerations here.

1) The size of your ship. Oolite defines a smaller HUD for a small ship such as an adder, but only a handful of HUD OXPs include these small sizes.
2) The size of your monitor. Some HUDs allow for a rather larger computer screen.

Large Scanners

Do you want a large scanner? See HUD images here for options.

Cheating

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.
