What's the red rotating icon on the HUD

Post by Scoob » Tue, 18. Dec 18, 19:26

Hey all,

So, every so often I board a bailed ship that has this icon on it. It's to the left of the HUD underneather the Throttle, Hull & shield bar. It's a bit like the Windows 10 timer icon, but it's red and rotates anti-clockwise. It's basically opposite the SETA indicator and is similar bar colour, rotation and it has no centre.

Does anyone know? I'm sure it's some item of equipment, but I'm not sure what.

missiles, its buged since it stays for some time or until restart
if its a full red then the missile is heading your way
Fixed ships getting spawned away from ship configuration menu at resupply ships from automatically getting deployables.

Really? I've been targetted by Missiles fairly often and while I get the audio warning, I've never had this icon come up. Must be bugged then I guess.

It seems that every ship of mine I get into now has this rotating red icon...no enemies around, so certainly bugged.

I think the full red circle is there is a missile locked on you, I only saw it after fights against npc with missiles

Well, I've still got a permanently rotating red circle despite there being ZERO missile activity lol. I wonder if the Wiki has this information yet...perhaps I should check. If it is a missile warning then it's bugged.
