The new icons can be a bit hard to understand. I would have liked to have seen them at the top of the screen as they were in SEIV. A few mock up UI screens were made with them at the top and they looked *****'n. Perhaps we could post a few of th images. I don't know if the NDA would apply since it was a suggestion and not really beta related and since the game is now out any suggestions can now be made.

The image included in this post was one of the suggestions I thought would make the game more functional. Notice there are a lot of ideas in the image from tabs to a better visual lay out that provides imformation where you need it. If I could mod the game, I would make this my UI main screen.

If he would have made the tabs into actual tabs, instead of hiding as buttons, it would have been infinitely better...

The interface holds se5 back from its potential glory.

Bingo.

EDIT: AT I looked at your attachment just now, I really like the look of it. I'd really like those buttons to be customizable. I.e. I can put those buttons in the drop down menus of my choice. And I can make a button on my own to organize the buttons shown on your picture - I'm not just limited to organizing the buttons into a hardcoded top level.

Hmm, well, if Aaron can somehow pull off making it moddable enough to at least somewhat emulate SE4 and get more of the buttons on the screen at once, that would be pretty aweseome. What was so wrong with having all the buttons up top anyway?

Ya know, I didn't really like those buttons. But I also don't like intense hierarchies used to avoid the button cornucopia. Maybe the complexity of the game makes the buttonfest necessary.
