Nova Lux HUD

"Green alert condition" Nova Lux

The Nova Lux (New Light) HUD is one of the newest in spaceship cockpits, with all functions and features gathered in a slick futuristic design. It changes color based on conditions (Deepspace/Mass-Locked/Alert).
It does, however, not brew coffee.

MFD placement

Docked HUD

"Yellow alert condition" Nova Lux

"Red alert" Nova Lux

The Nova Lux comes in four different flavours: for green alert, yellow alert, red alert, and lastly, as one of the more modern HUDs, the Nova Lux has a special version which shows when docked. There is also a small HUD version for smaller ships such as the Adder.

In red alert the Reticle, Shield and Energy indicators are grouped around the crosshairs.

The Nova Lux manages 6 MFDs, which are placed as shown above.

It also works with widescreen monitors. And is now compatible with HUD Selector
