I'd like to see an icon indicating whether the Weapon Door is open or closed on a mech that supports it. I just recently found out there is a light that indicates this but it is very subtle and I cannot see the color change of the light as I am Red/Green colorblind.

Wouldn't that be a dream. I asked for that when the Archer came out.

Same with a Gauss charge bar that isn't tucked away in the bottom right of the screen.

Since there is an armor protection change ( -20% incoming dmg if missile doors closed, -10% incoming dmg if ballistic/energy doors closed) wether the bay/clamps/whatever is open or closed, it could be incorporated into the armor paperdoll of the own Mech, perhaps by let the crit zone of the opened part flash rythmically.

If I am not completely wrong, isn't there (kind of) a gauss charge indicator in the HUD?
I mean the 6 boxes around the crosshair representing the 6 firing groups.

There are, but they are very tiny and I am almost always looking at something else as everything is flashing around the screen. I mean, it may work, but if the audio isn't working as intended, it should be fixed or improved. Better visuals for people without great hearing and better audio for people who may not be able to use the visual ques as well as they should.

There is a reason why you have a casting bar in any fantasy MMO not tucked away down at the bottom.
