CB-HUD Mark II

Overview

The CB-HUD Mark II is developed and produced by the 'Crab-Boolean Corporation located on Riredi in galaxy 1. The HUD is the "cash-cow" of Crab-Boolean and makes up almost 40% of their sales. Cargo-ship pilots especially like this HUD because it has an extra large scanner as well as additional control lights for important equipment.

Images

The mid-size grey ring marks the 2:1 magnification zone. If you increase the scanner magnification from 1:1 to 2:1, all blips inside the mid-size ring stay visible.

The small grey ring marks the close-up range (in 1:1 magnification) when using a military laser.

Crosshairs

If you are aiming at a ship that is within close-up range, you should set your aim a little bit above the point you want to hit. The nearer the ship, the further above.
