frustration with se5

[Atrocities]

The new icons can be a bit hard to understand. I would have liked to have seen them at the top of the screen as they were in SEIV. A few mock up UI screens were made with them at the top and they looked *****'n. Perhaps we could post a few of th images. I don't know if the NDA would apply since it was a suggestion and not really beta related and since the game is now out any suggestions can now be made.

The image included in this post was one of the suggestions I thought would make the game more functional. Notice there are a lot of ideas in the image from tabs to a better visual lay out that provides imformation where you need it. If I could mod the game, I would make this my UI main screen.

If he would have made the tabs into actual tabs, instead of hiding as buttons, it would have been infinitely better...

Abo****ely true.

I think I'd prefer smaller fleet/ship/planet icon stuff in the hex-view, though. Alot of scrolling with only 4 of them showing at once. Other than that, such UI changes would be a great improvement.

[Fyron]

There is an option in Empire Options to make them smaller, but they are still damned huge. SJ made a new set of smaller icons, IIRC.

If he had made the interface moddable, that would've been even more *****in'.

It is, partially. There's settings to move some of the interface elments around, but they don't work fully. And all the pictures that make up the interface are moddable.
