That has little to do with the UI. It is caused from the current graphics engine not allowing the game to do anything else until it has loaded all of the objects and models into memory. The new graphics engine (everyone gets it - engine =/= new models) fixes this.

Please tell me that you have made the overview opaque to mouse clicks.

It is annoying to select a target in the overview only to find that it has targeted something else because it happened to be at that point in space behind your overview.

If I want to click on something in space, then I will move my camera so that it is no longer behind the overview. If I click in side the overview box then I want the click registered on that overview item, not on the item in space that happens to be located behind the overview.

Keep the transparent appearance, but lose the transparent mouse clicking.

I do hope the detachable drone screen does not constitute the very hyped changes to the drone interface. I require almost all the hight of my screen to fit my 300 drones, and my active drones without having to scroll. Some simple yet VERY useful changes would be

-SUBTABS, as in HEAVY>EWAR>WEBIFIER, or COMBAT>HEAVY>ORGE II. I have about 30 drone groups, these could be reduced into FIGHTER, HEAVY, SENTRY, MEDIUM, LIGHT with subtabs. Please make the lives of all carrier pilots easer and implement this long overdue solution.

-HOTKEYS, How about instead of right click>attack, I can just press f9 to have all drones attack my current target. Or at least have a recall key, and programmable deploy keys.

-SMALLER DRONES IN SPACE SCREEN, The drones under "Drones in space" take up a lot of space for every drone, how about taking out all the needless blank space above and below the health bar to reduce the size of the drone screen?

-DRONE GROUPING IN STATION, I am not too keen on sitting in .4 space with my drone panel taking up my whole screen while I fumble my 300 drones into their respective categories.

I was hoping the UI work would be a rethink from the ground up rather than a new lick of paint with functional additions. There's a lot of space where windows sit on top of pretty space graphics; move the controls and info out of the way of the shiny space stuff.

Improvements to the UI are far more important to my enjoyment than random features like Heat (not to say Heat is bad, but I'd take some basic UI improvements I use constantly over an extra feature).

How about font selection? Allow us to use some other fonts, like Verdana. Something that's been in most computer programs since 1984. An expansion or two ago, you could unofficially replace the font yourself, and it worked fine. I'd like to be able to *choose* from a couple fonts, or at least, allow us to modify the font ourselves once again.

I'll be a bad boy and crosspost a bit, but I think this should look like that.

Awesome job otherwise so far.

I'll bite. They're green, why?

I think a green light is an easier visual for healthy than healthy and damaged all being different shades of red. Make them yellow, blue and pink, I don't care.

But all red is a bit weird I think. Different colours are easier to process on a quick glance.
