That's good to know - like I said, I don't have a proiblem with extra clicks (but your testing says that isn't the case). I just went off all the "MorE KlicKz" posts and decided it isn't a problem for me.
Those were generally the tests I ran.

Guys I'm using a Joystick = controller and i can tell you for one it's horrible on both and way slower than mouse, i know this because the mouse works too and i find myself wanting to put down my controller and use that instead but I don't want to be tied to a desk. It is NOT a better experience on controller/HOTASIn every example I tested, it's not even any more clicks once you've figured out the new layout.
And before anyone starts, I could not test every possible scenario, and I am aware of some people - especially those using controllers - having significantly more click for certain actions.
Often also made worse by the fact where the 'default' location the "cursor" is placed. If you use the dpad (like I do). The 'authority' bounties/fees screen is a prime example of that but EDO has introduced a few more.Guys I'm using a Joystick = controller and i can tell you for one it's horrible on both and way slower than mouse, i know this because the mouse works too and i find myself wanting to put down my controller and use that instead but I don't want to be tied to a desk.

I use a dual controller set up and can do everything with my stick and puck except type a system name. It's slower for me because the icon placement is "wrong" for what I usually do in the map.Guys I'm using a Joystick = controller and i can tell you for one it's horrible on both and way slower than mouse, i know this because the mouse works too and i find myself wanting to put down my controller and use that instead but I don't want to be tied to a desk.

This, is exactly what I said last Friday,,right after I blew a gasket trying to find the ship I docked in for 15 minutes of scrolling through hundreds of my ships.Because they outsourced it with the request to "freshen up the UI, go" - to a party who never played the game in their lives.
That's my theory anyways.

Yeah sorry i was more agreeing with you, sorry if I made it sound like i was taking you up on something contrary, i wasn't my bad!I did say "I am aware of some people - especially those using controllers - having significantly more click for certain actions."
I actually use my mouse rather than my HOTAS for navigating the menus. I didn't have the HOTAS during the Alpha so couldn't run any tests with it. Someone shared a video where it was something like 10 clicks extra for the same action on the GalMap with a controller. So it's defiantly not perfect, but a lot of the complaints seemed to be more to do with familiarity, but as I said, not all were/are.
The irony is that there's a handful of CMDRs insisting that consoles are "to blame" for this new UI, but as a console owner who plays ED using PS4 controller, I can tell you that this is the furthest thing from the truth, as you yourself prove by preferring a mouse over HOTAS / controller for menu navigation.I did say "I am aware of some people - especially those using controllers - having significantly more click for certain actions."

It gives WAY more detail than before...
