Within 5 minutes of starting up this game for the 3rd time (beta 1 was far too boring for me) I notice 3 glaring problems concerning the UI.
When I scroll out the little symbols for the ships group up becoming a mash of ships, perhaps they do have a distance between them but for me at least it was so bad I had to zoom in all the time to select ships.
The ship symbols are far too small, the ones I see on screen zoomed out not the ones on the left. I had to squint and put my head to the monitor half the time to see correctly what each ship was. Possibly make a slider bar in the settings menu to change the size of the symbols representing ships
This one is tied in with the other two - the symbols for the ships just aren't distinguishable enough. It creates alot of confusion when looking on that bar on the left with the ships and you can't tell the differences between them. This could be changed by making the symbols more distinguishable or by making them bigger. Again the slider bar would do wonders here. Also it would be nice to use a right click menu to add and remove ships/objects from that bar thing on the left. I don't care about half the stuff on there and it clutters up my screen. If you want a good example of this check out Eve Onlines Overview Box, thats the type of display options I want.
