Fixing the Horrid UI

[Atrocities]

I wish I could move all the buttons. In Tribes the UI was completely customizable in game with the HUD mover. A novel idea that like the game is doomed to the dungeons of the unknown and long forgotten games.

Here is an idea for improving at a glance the systems you have control over. Take a look at the attached image to see what I mean.

I noticed a condense check mark box at the bottom of the transfer screen to group items together.

Something that keeps me using shortcuts instead of the right click menu is that the right click menu is a mile long. Maybe have an options menu that lets you select the options you want to see in the right click menu a weed out the ones that you rarely/never use. This would make right clicking useful for me.

Ship Design screen not showing enough at a time
I have my screen set at a high resolution but still I can only see 5-6 components at a time. And the Mounts barely have enough space for all the options. What about mount-heavy mods? You'd have to scroll through a large list to find what you are looking for. And the right hand side of the ship design screen is difficult too. Instead of having such large 'buttons' for the items of the right, I think making them much smaller and taking up a much more compact space would allow for more room on the left hand side.

Perhaps if the right-hand side could be made smaller enough, then the mounts/components section could be in 2 rows, showing twice as many components/mounts.

The ship layout/component placement: I love that. Even though it only has a limited effect on your ships in the game (ie: decks don't matter), I love being able to design them as if they do. Engineering Deck, Command Deck, Armoury Deck.

The design window is independent of screen rez. And the slot layout system is inherently bulky.
It would be nice to get more list space on high rez settings.
