| Description | 1) As per the first screenshot, the Selected Units list is very small and sort of in an odd spot. I believe it's attached to the left of the Planetary Summary which is why it's not all the way in the lower right. I can see why this would make sense at low resolutions, but at higher ones it doesn't.
It could also be much larger vertically so you can see more units at once.
You might need to base its max vertical size and position on the resolution the game is running at, if you don't already. Either that, or make it user adjustable, which might be the best solution, if also the most work.
It also doesn't even work right as it is at very low resolutions (vertical height of 600). When the Planetary Summary is very large and the resolution is that low, the Selected Units list overlaps the bottom bar and flashes in a very annoying way. You also can't see the bottom of the Planetary Summary. It seems like the lowest 'supported' vertical resolution is really 720.
2) Right now you abbreviate Starships like: Star:Bomb I
You might save space, and improve the visibility of this, by instead drawing a star icon instead of writing out the word 'Star'. See the second screenshot for an example of what I mean. In this case, Star:Bomb and *Bomber both take up the exact same space, but *Bomber is much more visible.
3) Something I would also really like would be to be able to stack different Mk types of the same ship horizontally on a grid. Doing so would probably require increasing the horizontal size of the box so again it would probably have to be a user preference due to resolution issues. Example of what I mean is attached in the second screenshot.
This saves a lot of vertical space and gives you a much more condensed way of seeing what kinds of ships you have, and how strong they are.
For very large stacks (10,000 or more), you could just abbreviate like 10k, or possibly 10.0k, if it would fit the decimal.
(You could also do this in the Metal/Crystal income at the top of the screen as it gets cut off when your income/expenses are really large numbers) |
