What is spinner for in HUD?

Post by Shimrod »

There's a spinner to the bottom right of the shield bar. Keeps going around, finding it irritating.

The manual page on the playership HUD doesn't mention it. Anyone know what its for?

That's you're SETA indicator. When it's solid white/blue (whichever colour it shows up for you), SETA is available to activate, when it's spinning around, SETA is active

Aha, thanks. Looks like it got into a bugged state and was spinning without SETA being active.

I put SETA on and turned it off again and its stopped animating. *relief*

Awesome on the Blue spinner, what about the red spinner on the other side?

Missile targeting you afaik. Had it only once, and then the spinner didn't stop spinning until game restart too.
