    So ive noticed more recently that when in the middle of a battle when your team gets a kill the notification that pops up on screen is just completely intrusive. It blocks a lot of the view. Often times it blocks the enemy ships in the distance. Granted its worse/better depending on how close/far the combatants are. The notifications should either be reduced in size or moved to a less intrusive area of the screen. Also, can we fucking please fix the color coding to match i.e. Friend kills Unfriend, Unfriend kills Friend should be Green - Red and Red - Green.

    That's more confusing since you have to look to see which side is red and which is green. ATM, red means your teammate got sunk and green means the unfriend got sunk. Simple.

    You must be either dumb or blind. Colors never change. Green is always friendly. Red is alway an enemy. How do you get confused seeing Unfriendly (Red) killed Friendly (Green) or vice versa?? Explain to me how the current system makes sense and isn't confusing when it shows Unfriendly (Red) killed Friendly (Red) or Friendly (Green) killed an Unfriendly (Green)? Heres's a hint, it doesnt make sense. Its a bug. An obvious one. It needs to be fixed.

    It is not a bug. You see a positive message on green, negative on red. Easier to see quickly which team made the kill when you don't have to think about which side the color is on, only what the color is.

    lmao why bother putting the names up then? you fill the screen up with useless information. we can clearly see what friendlies/enemies have been killed in a match lineup at the very top of the screen. might as well just get rid of the massive banner that pops on screen and replace it with a simple color dot that blinks when the kill occurs. you can place it underneath the match lineup. you could even make it a long bar the length of match lineup that blinks/lights up the corresponding kill color. theres a better way of relaying info then blasting something in the center of the screen that obstructs sightlines.

    You're the type of dude that would crash a car because a fly landed in front of your view

    It's a good piece of information to be told who killed who. Tells you a lot about position of the players in the map, weapons used and indicatively which unfriends are more dangerous and which friends are more powerful.
