the crosshair should disappear when pressing TAB
Completed
When pressing TAB to get rid of the hud the crosshair should go away too. I can't even count the times that I have to go thru the menus just to toggle it off for a screenshot and then go back thru them just to turn it on again.
I like this feedback
Totally agree. When I'm landing a ship on Mars (in multiplayer), I don't have time to jump into the menu and turn off crosshairs, but I really want that shot, so I hit tab and F12 it real fast, and just deal with the crosshairs in the shot.
So I either have to play without crosshairs ALL the time (which makes activating buttons a pain), or I have to photoshop my screenshots to remove the crosshairs :-/

+1 Bump- this is such an obvious, small yet fantastic change to make that I can't understand why it wasn't implemented year ago. Pull your finger out please, Keen...

Back in my day SE use to do this and taking screenshots was quick and easy. Now I have open the menu and tick it on and off everytime I want to make a screenshot instead pushing tab.

And, if we want to leave the current way as an option, we can have a simple drop-down in the settings, looking like this:
Crosshair: [ Show with HUD ] [ Always show ] [ Always hide ]And, if we want to leave the current way as an option, we can have a simple drop-down in the settings, looking like this:
Crosshair: [ Show with HUD ] [ Always show ] [ Always hide ]I literally (no joke) have a little sticker on my monitor where the crosshair should be so that I can play space engineers with crosshairs turned off and still make lining up on panels easy.
Yes, I do get annoyed by the sticker when I do anything else other than space engineers, but really, is there anything else?

A simple toggle crosshair option would also be amazing.
Sometimes I want to play with just the cross hair and no other interface, other times I just want to play with only the interface and no crosshair.
Having an additional option to have the crosshair 'auto show' when 'looking at' a panel would also be nice.
For instance I'm running around without a crosshair up and using tab to hide the rest of the interface to give myself a nice immersive experience, however, under the proposed option I have selected that I want the crosshair to automatically appear with a nice fade in effect when the middle of my screen is close to a 'terminal', 'button panel' or 'connector/conveyor port' (basically all your inter-actables, such as it would be when I'm looking at and trying to interact with panels.
In addition it would also have this automatic effect when I select an aim driven weapon to shoot or a 'player tool/weapon' but otherwise it would hide it.
These simple changes would make the HUD much less intrusive and make the game much more immersive in my opinion.
Also, the cross-hair is too large, I manually edit mine in the game files and reduced its size by 50%, its much nicer to play with.

Crosshair is part of the HUD. Hide it appropriately.

Seriously, Keen,
It's bloody 2019, there have been dozens of updates and hotfixes, this topic is literally in the Top 5 of Most Popular feedback threads (completed ones excluded) and you still haven't tied this goddamn crosshair to the rest of the GUI so that it can be toggled.
Why is this such a problem??

Didn't this actually used to be a feature??? I feel like it was a thing a few years ago

Keen should've atleast noticed that this idea exists by now, even though they haven't developed a response yet.

Remember, Keen. Everytime you make me go through the menu to switch this damn crosshair off and on I'm reminding myself not to give you any DLC money. You like money, don't you? Money is useful! Money buys food, clothes, petrol, rent, pays for server costs and developer coffee. Imagine going without developer coffee! You wouldn't want that, now would you?

Another major update, another major update without addressing this issue.
I hope your coffee machine breaks. Yours, and everyone's in a 10-km radius around you.
