Minimal Reticles
Something that has always bugged me was the design choice of the reticles in MEA. In particular, the invasive nature and size of the reticles. This mod aims to clean the UI a bit my removing what I think is a unnecessary part of the reticle(the left and right pip) and making the center dot smaller. See screenshots to see how it looks zoomed and not zoomed.
Using this mod will make it easier to hip fire, and zoom fire, especially with the sniper rifle. Without this mod the center reticle is so large, you can't even see if you are targeting an enemy's head. I left the zoomed outer reticles alone on everything but the sniper rifle.
I did not want to completely remove the reticle when not zoomed in because of a couple reasons. First, it gives a good frame of reference for when you want to start zooming in and does so without being obtrusive. For instance, you might quickly center your reticle on the enemy and then zoom in for a precision shot. Or you may not want to zoom in but still want to know precisely where you are firing. There is also evidence that having a dot or a crosshair on the center of the screen can help with motion sickness.
