Spobbles Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I dunno, the new UI hasn't really been in that long but I've become so used to it now that it was strange looking back on how it was before U14. Update 13 UI Update 8 (Thanks Dead_Rabbits) Also - Hi, post-U14 new players! I hope you like your shiny ship :3 Edit: The U13 screenies were the only ones I could find, if anyone has older ones with yet more differences, feel free to post them below.

Morec0 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I miss the star chart and how it actually LOOKED like a star chart, rather than just being surrounded by planets like we are now. I also miss the invasion/infestation notifications on the side that made them easy to track. But I do. I like my shiny new ship.

I also kind of wish we still had an actual start chart type of navagation menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboDoge Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I miss old UI because new one is annoying at best. All that pointless walking and claustrophobic feeling irks me. Concerning available info on Invasions and Alerts, pre U14 UI was quite better. Edited October 8, 2014 by RoboDoge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have come to like the new UI for the most part. I also kind of wish we still had an actual start chart type of navagation menu. I'm not AT ALL saying I dislike the new AI, I just think the old AI did certain things better (that is to say: with more access). Hopefully as the ship gets expanded (as it's been said they're looking to do) and they find a way to incorporate the old star chart's look and feel into it.

Loswaith Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) ...So, what do you guys miss about the old interface?... The useability and efficiency. Edited October 8, 2014 by Loswaith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spobbles Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have to agree with a lot of you in saying the old Alerts/Operations display was considerably better. I wonder, how many updates can we find screenies of? :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaugahn Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The invasions/alerts is the only thing I really miss. Other than that, I actually prefer the new one to the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDoge Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The invasions/alerts is the only thing I really miss. Other than that, I actually prefer the new one to the old one. This, and i would add "live" solar system. I can even live with time consuming UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1ples1xer Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 IMo when you activate the console on your liset, you should acces the old UI. I really miss having the arsenal one click away at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChameleonDude Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I still vastly prefer the old UI. The new one tries to look pretty (that's opinionated though, personally, I think it looks worse); but sacrifices functionality. It takes longer to get to where you want to be. It takes longer to load. The screen movement/angles in the menu make it less user friendly. It still frequently bugs out for myself and some of my friends. Ordis has a mute button, but still pops up in the way of the UI. The continued updates to it, such as mod cards and the mod interface... they show less information, use the screen space less efficiently and are a bit harder to navigate. All in all, still not happy with it, and I'm certainly playing the game a lot less; partially due to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prany Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Individual interfaces are fine aside some strange design decisions, but navigating between them takes more time than it is acceptable for quality UI. In old UI important menus could be reached with single button press from almost anywhere. Internet browser style. Star chart is another sore point for many. Planet view gives practiclly zero information to newbies and using mission node view with mouse is wobbly while tapping with direction keys is slow. And of course simulation sicness. No respectable game designer forgets about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelkor Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I for one really like the new "navigate your ship" UI, I wish the social/communication menu had a node on your ship to access it instead of hitting escape. BUT, after hearing some complaints from newbies about how ambiguous it is to unlock the solar map (I unlocked everything pre new UI), I started a new account just to see what they meant, and yeah, it's kinda difficult to figure out where to go next or where you can go next. I miss this for it's simplicity: The new UI could use something like this again to show what is connected to what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickeltoe Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The only thing actually more functional in the new UI is the mod sorting, you can hide all maxed mods and fusion is easier. The old one was functional, this new one suits console players more than PC players even if that was not their intention, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neah Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I only wish the new 'star chart' actually LOOKED like one. Still miss the scrolling through planets with the old UI, that was nice and effective, lets you see all invasions, alerts etc going on at-a-glance, as well as providing a sense of progression.

Spobbles Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) This appears to have become a feedback thread. I only wish the new 'star chart' actually LOOKED like one. Still miss the scrolling through planets with the old UI, that was nice and effective, lets you see all invasions, alerts etc going on at-a-glance, as well as providing a sense of progression. Agree completely, I'm very glad I cleared the star chart before U14. It's obvious looking at regional chat that new players are having trouble figuring out how to get to certain planets. Damned fine profile picture by the way :D Edited October 8, 2014 by Spobbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPhoenix Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 As much as I enjoy the new UI.... I really do miss the old star chart.... the progression just seemed to have made sense... even if scrolling it was a bit of a pain at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon veterans, you must have some old screenshots hidden away! :3 Honestly, between your screenshot and this one, I'm kinda reminded about how much bloom there was in the old UI. It's almost as bad as watching a JJ Abrams movie. Edited October 8, 2014 by Gelkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
