oak steppe
was doing a bit of testing on equipment with the EIME, when i noticed that the beak is completely missing from the predicted path. I'd assume that there is some efficiencies with not rendering the excavator on the ship hologram using it, but when it's such a huge part of the ship like the eime's beak, it is rather noticeable and doesn't let you take it into account as easily. maybe some form of fix could be a "hard model" as such, where the hologram's beak is in a fixed closed position as such

Yes, that is the way this works. The racing HUD does not, and will not, take into account excavators and other moving equipment. The lore explaination is that it's made for racing, not mining. The real reason is that these are separate moving objects and predicting their movement is very expensive and would either tank FPS or be really inaccurate.
