Comrades! 

 

Today is a very important day for our great Halo party and entire community! We've waited long enough, but now we believe it's time! Our comrades from DoV Red Party of the Lenin's Comsomol Name achieved great success with their own UI concept. 

I'm here to suggest you to implement similar great changes to our UI!

 

Why you, my western friends, should take it into consideration?

-Great tactical view! 

-Halo like tabs for planets in strategic view!

-Patriotic original design, pride of space workers' class!

Da zdravstvuet relovytsia! Urrraaaaaa!

We aren't going to copy DoV's UI design. In particular we have our own ideas regarding the strategic map.

Then, at least do something with your resolutions or make it that all important buttons are in visible zone of screen.

Son, I'm sorry, but please learn your place. Bossing people around, and outright demanding things is highly disrespectful.

Son? My I ask how old are you really?

 

Perhaps, I wrote wrong. I meant: with such changes your resolutions problem won't be so sharp. Or, you can change places for all buttons.

I do like how different planet types have different colored icons in the strategic view.

it's a damn shame that the mod got cancelled,It had so much potential.....iam not sure about the planet Icons trough they might look good,but sometimes they are just confusing like in trhawns revenge 2 the vanilla Icons are helpfull and tell you instantly what kind of planet it is without reading somethingh.I'am looking Forward to see what you have planed with the strategic map trough.

I'm not going to do that. I am although doing some pretty neat stuff with the things you mentioned.

My friend remarked this sarcastically, when faced new resolutions problem and Devs comment: "Sorry folks, GTFO". You know, I've never thought that he can be such sharp in words. It's a pitty that I can't translate it.

Definitely, one of the best quotes you'd chance ever read.

Planet icon + tab with infro would be a great addition.

I do like the concept of the UI being more of a Render rather than a "Camera View".

I'm sorry but we do not support CRT era resolutions anymore.

I can't say I don't like the debriefing/technical data you see over the Strategic Map. I think it looks a lot better than just boring old planetary icons. Feels more futuristic and lively.

 

I also like the effects over the planet but I don't entirely see why it would be there- still cool however. The other tactical data is also cool, but not too much as too not clutter the screen with useless icons.

Those UI's are pretty snazzy but with all due respect we're working on some pretty interesting UI concepts and we have full faith in our UI artist, we're sure that you will all greatly enjoy the final result ^_^
