My thoughts are widely known on here as I and others did point out our suggestions many times. Yet even now, it still is a poor design and comes across like "work in progress". My thoughts: -
1. The Centre Popups are hugely unnecessary. Rid ALL of them and make us use our HUD Panels as you would expect a pilot to do so please. Rid: new box for Jumping to System & Security Level & Boom State & Press J to Abort; Rid: Fuel Scooping text; Rid Promotion notice; Rid Safe to Disengage; Rid Slow Down text not needed as we can hear it;; i.e. Rid the entire Centre Popup Box.
2. Move that info into the corresponding Cockpit Panel or HUD Panel. e.g. Jumping next to FSD Charge; Next System Security & Star Type beside Lower Left Panel where the Name should be known and not "UNKOWN"; Fuel Scooping next to the Fuel Level; Promotions only in the Coms as it shares similar sounds to Disengage and confuses us whilst being chased and waiting to dropout to a Station plus my screen is not an Arcade whilst I could be in battle at this time; Safe to Disengage beside FSD or Info Panel; Move You Have Left the No Fire Zone into the Info Panel as it takes up its own line beneath the Coms for some strange reason where nothing else does so and simply hangs without anything like we see on the Info Panel.
3. The Coms Panel is simply weird. For us to stop it displaying we must select the far left column then close which is very odd. Why can it not disappear for all columns once we close it?!
4. The Info Panel for me has only ever shown 4 lines of text whilst it constantly displays a background box for 6 or 7 lines. This looks a terrible clutter. Simply allow it to manage what Lines it does use to flexibly adjust.
5. We who use VoiceAttack know that the Panels have a vertical hold-scroll key so that we can define a starting point within it. How many times do we lose our Target Station Macro because the left Panel has been manually used. It needs similar for a Horizontal Rest or even a Plugin that does a better direct job of this.
I'll stop there and let you guys chip in. Let's not get into the old fighting about this. Simply add your own ideas or have respect not to comment and find a thread that does interest you to add your own ideas. It's great that there's many new additions but I'm baffled why the GUI is lagging in quality.
