They are just not discernible enough.ĥ) Request 5 – Change colors used for Ship Icons as follows: You can use yellow OR white, but never both. First off - Yellow and white are poor choices to use together. The icons for your ships in the lower left corner change colors to indicate different statuses, though the color choices are befuddling. Even 1 pixel thicker would be a big help.Ĥ) Request 4 – Make above mentioned status bars thicker (and juicier).These changes will bring much needed differentiation and clarity to the Fleet Status Bars. Thicker status bars gives each more independent weight so that they are each more visible and easily discernible. The thin bars also contribute to the colors appearing to be too similar to each other. Even at Main Zoom Factor of 150 they don’t pop out enough for easy peripheral vision monitoring. The thickness of the status bars are rather thin. Can you also add the useful breaks to indicate the number of jumps left? Status bar of your own ship in the upper right shows this, but the fuel bars in the lower left don’t.Fuel – maybe use Orange (though I’m concerned it will look too similar to the red used for.Plus, Green is a common color used in games to indicate energy so it is intuitive. Energy – change from Yellow/White (or whatever color it is, can’t tell) to Green.Armor – probably OK as is, maybe a brighter Yellow.Shields – change to a brighter Blue (almost looks grey).The colors used are all rather muted and items like armor and fuel look the same (which is probably why the above mentioned status bars were ordered in the manner they were).ģ) Request 3 – Change colors for Fleet Status Bars and Your Ship’s Status Bars Shields/armor, energy, heat, fuelWhy the difference? That is counter intuitive and confusing.Ģ) Request 2 - Reorder Fleet status bars to match the order of your own ships status so that they are consistent and intuitive. I want this game to be great and I really think these suggestions would bring about a ton of needed improvements that will make everything more enjoyable and intuitive to new players.

Please understand, I love this game, would happily pay for it, and appreciate all of the hard work you guys put into it. I barely use it as it is, because the information is not discernible, inconsistent, and counter-intuitive. For this thread I have focused mostly on the Fleet Status Bars in the lower left. With that out of the way, the rest is a bunch of Quality of Life changes that would make everything easier to see and tie things together in a consistent manner.

People play on all different resolutions and I can imagine even 150 is too little for 4k+ monitors while too much for 1080 monitors. Yes, that ver the rest of my screen! Running on a 1080 screen Main Zoom Facotr of 150 is too much.ġ) Request 1 - Add more than just one Main Zoom Factor option. 'But, Kharn', I hear you saying, 'just change Main Zoom Factor to 150'. I want to play the game, but I feel my eyes straining a lot to see/read many parts of the game. To start, I have perfect 20/20 vision yet find many of the UI elements stressful on the eyes. Some of these points I mentioned in another thread, but realized there was more than enough to start a new thread.
