Health bars

[starjoker]

The health bar could come up when it is attacked or it could be on all the time, what do you think

We already have health bars when you select a ship...

I think this could be possible, but make it an option.

I know I would be annoyed by health bars cluttering the screen.

I think it'd be nicer for a message to pop up from the ship that's damaged that would say something like, were taking critical damage! Similiar to the messages the other ships had in the behemoth video.

I like that there isn't a health bar. It adds to the challenge not knowing how long it will take to kill an enemy. The same goes for the friendly ships. You don't fully know how much health a turret has left just adds to the game in my opinion.

It would really be crowded with health bars, especially if you include turrets. What could be done though, is to turn the navigation lights into red / yellow color if ships are damaged.

Personally, I think the fires that pop up on ships at 50% and 25% health are good enough indicators of a ship's health.

Perhaps there could be a claxon like when the mothership is damaged so that you can here a ship is damaged and highlight the ship
