Slight change to SoI entry & exit indicators

[pandaman]

I have seen this mentioned elsewhere, but can't find it now, so...

The moving ring indicators on the SoI boundary are a great idea, but can be a bit difficult to distiguish. 

I would suggest changing the Entry to have the rings moving inwards and the Exit moving outwards.  Maybe also distinguish them more clearly  by changing the colour or shape of one of them or by adding radial lines etc.

I don't think the rings are a good indication whatsoever. Show me an arrow or something, pointing inside the sphere for entrance, outside of it for exit.

I think the 'idea' is sound, just the implementation could be a bit better.  Not unlike a lot of the UI features, but I guess that's one of the things this EA is intended to look at.

We got a better maneuver tool, that's a good start. Let's hope for more UI improvements in every update.

Any indicator should be clear at a glance though, waiting couple of seconds to see which way the rings are going is uh... Yeah.

Yeah, I don’t care for the animated rings at all - I can never tell at first glance which animation direction (expanding or contracting) is supposed to denote entry and exit from the SOI. Different colors would definitely help keep them visually distinct, though it might cause accessibility issues for color blind gamers (my adult son has issues like this).
