Two small UI Suggestions
« on: August 28, 2012, 01:12:25 PM »
I really like the cinematic mode you get by pressing F11. It makes all UI-elements disappear, except one: the brown squares around the enemy ships. Could those go too please?

The other thing: Despite playing for some time now, I often find myself forgetting about certain seldom used keybinds, like "hide weapon arcs". You can't bring up the options menu during a fight to have a look. It would be great if F1 could bring up the controls menu for quick reference.


By the way, I'm still hoping to see my old UI suggestions realized one day :)

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.

Fair points, both. I'll see when I can get to it - more than likely when I'm working on that area of the code for some other reason. Same applies to the suggestions in the linked thread :)

Not to say I'll end up doing them exactly like that - but I understand where you're coming from with those.

I like it, but I didn't want to necro the thread to say that. Might also be useful to just have the stations charge you credits instead of supplies to repair your ship.
