    They have names because the High Yield plasma torps are destructible. If you deactivate those, you'll also deactivate the indicators for shuttles, mines, etc. Your choice, really :P

    Go to your Options, HUD settings and look around in there. I don't remember the exact name of the options since I'm not in game right now.

    It'll be Fighters and Mines, under Enemy NPCs (or friendly, if you want to get rid of those).

    It's a useful setting but I can understand your aversion to the clutter.

    I personally have almost everything turned on. It's useful for seeing what fighters are on the battlefield that people may have missed, or seeing the health of all 4 generators at the same time without having to click or move my mouse over them in ISE.

    I've disabled pretty much every HUD option in regards to freinds, fleets, enemies, NPC and so on...

    Took some getting used to, but the experience is much better now, and I can actually tell things apart now.

    I can highly reccomend it.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Same, sort of. I keep the target boxes and health around team members and enemies, but disable mines/fighters and non-teamed players.

    Wonder if I'm buged then because I can't turn those dang plasm and trico names off no matter what I try. *grr* - I do'nt mind seeing hostile ones, but all the friendly Omega Plasma blobs with names are hideously annoying, my own ones included. :confused:

    EDIT: Found it... Plasma torps are not considered "mines and fighters", they are "friendly NPC" - More stupidity from cryptic... Also noticed that once again, activating "mouse over" info is buged.

    Maybe we can shorten the name of the Plasma Torpedoes?

    How Plasma Energy Weapon and use the acronym?





    :D

    Shall?!? They are already doing it. Give me a Romulan Hyper Torpedo launcher and 3 Purple Projectile Armory DOFFs and I can fill the skies with (tiny) plasma balls of DOOM!!!!

    Plasma torps are the most identifiable who cares if they don't have names they are extremely visible.
