Shouldn't XM be like a cloud?
I was thinking, since you can change perspective in Prime, shouldn't we be seeing XM as a cloud? XM is all around us, but is it only on the ground? Shouldn't it be drifting through the air, like a mist or cloud?
It might improve it's visibility a little too.

Sounds like an unnecessary extra, something that could hog up a bit more battery power. I personally quite like it as it is, and am not sure why so many people seems to be having trouble seeing it.
XM is everywhere, inside and outside of everything, since it is a particle that has existed since the beginning of time itself, as far as I know according to the game lore. It is also just energy, a source of power for the scanner. It has no weight, no substance. So just having it float as it does right now seems better to me.
Well, the visibility of nearly everything in Prime is an issue. That's why they are working on UI updates. XM already moves, making it move up and down as well as left and right shouldn't impact performance nearly as much as the Gaussian blur, the portal "flame", the photo inside that flame, the extra layers on the items, etc etc.
Besides, XM in Redacted is round, XM in Prime is flat.
