Ok, in my opinion the UI, mostly left and right hand panels, do feel cluttered a bit. Isn't it weird that your battle targets are on the same panel as your navigation and powerplay ?
Isn't it weird that your module handling is on the same panel as inventory for synthesis, random statistics, next to fire groups?
I think FD went the right road when introducing SRVs and Fighters, building a dedicated panel below you. It's practical.
So, why not a panel above your head? Obviously everybody's used to the current configuration and its flaws, but what if you could customise the new panel and have some sort of shortcut to your desired display, be it inventory, sub modules, etc.
I know I'm kinda dreaming. But I hope that Fdev takes this road for the next UI add-ons at least. Stop adding to the overloaded existent and create something new.
PS : to those who'd say it would even more clutter the view in mouse/free look, I'd like to point out you have options to hide them, in case you didn't know.
OPTIONS > CONTROLS > MODE SWITCHES > LOOKING AT **** PANEL > DOES NOTHING
