Default Whats so bad about the UI????

In countless posts I hear people complaing about the UI but rarely does anyone say what's so bad about it.

Frankly, I haven't had any issue. It seems functional to me. I can find everything. It has hotkeys... It has a nice menu from the right click that is context sensitive....

I'm just wondering what's so bad about it???

Thanks,

Javaslinger

Not in a long time, I don't really remember the differences.

I mean, I suppose it may be drastically different, but in my opinion, it seems to work perfectly fine. Everything is there. Most things are at your fingertips. It's functional and 'relatively efficient'.

If I have any complaints it would be that 'at first' things are a bit hard to find. And I suppose there may be more efficinet ways to do somethings.

But those are all about the learnig curve. Once you find things it all works pretty seamlessly and quickly.

Could it be improved? Sure, I'm sure everything could be.

It is HORRIBLE as I keep hearing. I really don't see why it's HORRIBLE....

Thanks,

Javasligner

Oh, that�s why! However, I do think �horrible� is a bit too strong.

I think the biggest problem for people is ' being used to SEIV '

but after a few days of playing it's going really faster and easier with SEV, I really like the game and am hoping that more mods and shipsets will come ASAP........

I really only have a few gripes left with the SE:V UI. This primarily includes the retrofit order and accessing the queue settings (emergency build, send to, etc). A few other little items exist that I like to nag MM about, but otherwise I've become just about as efficient in the UI as I was with SE:IV.
