New hardpoint reticles image - Empire At War Remake: Galactic Civil War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
These new hardpoint reticles were designed to be instantly recognisable upon seeing them, using the most iconic weapons in each class, such as the XX-9 and the Hoth ion cannon, to portray them. When hovered over, the projectile is fired from the weapon.
I tried to keep EAWs style of circles and dots intact with these new icons, since they were easy to recognise and uniform in style. You'll see circles and dots are central to the design of practically every reticle. The Proton torpedo and Missile launcher icons were a little tricky, I decided the best way to distinguish between them was to show the torpedo and missile projectiles in the icons even when not hovered over. I hope these are simple enough to still work with the vanilla style of basic and instantly recognisable icons.

This just keeps getting better and better!
Very cool!
Love them, really clear what each hardpoint is now, is there one for heavy turbolasers? (such as the Purifier's)
that looks great! even tho i think that the animation will get annoying over time
Very interesting.
Great, I've always disliked EaW's kinda off reticules where you can't really tell what everything is supposed to be at a glance, this looks like a huge improvement.
Great idea, and it looks great.
is the file up yet for this update ?
Love it. So nice to have distinguishable but good looking hardpoints!
