Well, seems as if a lot of that stands a reasonable chance of making it in-game.

Could we by any chance get ourselves a screenshot of the character screen? :)

It's functional, but not quite ready for that.

Is all the skill and stuff getting its own GUI? Will David make a bunch more of those lil' icons for each skill and all that jazz? Having it look slick and artsy is always a plus!

That's the plan.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Ah, I see. I would care more for another blogpost, describing what he thought while designing the interface (including screenshots of course).

Hmm...yes, interesting. :)
Just one problem, do you get a command point back if you rescind the command during the command frequency?  Hopefully you still lose that command point if you rescind it, because it might get abused (although a lengthy process).

That's taken care of - if you rescind/cancel an order/assignment that opened the command channel, the command channel gets closed. If you give any "free" orders, stuff stops being refundable (to prevent "open channel, give free orders, close channel for refund" scenario). Let me double-check that actually works, though :)

Itl take a while to get used to

Honestly, I hope that it wouldn't - it's pretty much the same in the major points, and all the differences should make it easier to use by removing some restrictions.

I'll be truly happy If I can execute the pincer maneuverer with ease.
