This is an odd complaint. The Galnet box seems like a nice way to get you up to speed on news if you care about that sort of thing.
Like you fire up the game, see your totally sweet ship, glance at the news right quick... OK, and we're off!
New Title Menu - Horrendous!

Not at all - it's lazy. It's still "outside" of playing the game.
It's as bad as having Galnet articles load up in the Launcher.
It's as bad as another quick widget like having a Galnet article read out to you in a robo voice.
Just add some new gameplay mechanics to allow us to interact with the world more instead of redesigning all the menus so they look the same, and introducing logos on tabs instead of written word tabs. Pointless - waste of time of dev energy - when there is plenty of other things to "fix".
Its sort of like having a webcam in a cat basket. Theres the cat, a little update where it is, and some cat world news.
If you want to give yourself a heart attack over mismatching design look at Powerplay and its menus.

I don't understand any of this. Is there some kind of gameplay or something in the menu?
Why are you all on the menu screen?

Yeah, that needs fixed.
Server issues????

I like the new menu. The OP doesn't. None of it is "horrendous", it's pretty irrelevant for sure.?

People voicing opinions is fine, it's the (self) righteous fury that gets me about these threads.
Change! Bad! Raaaaaarrrr!
I thought the new start screen to be an excellent idea - a great reminder for where you left your ship and which one it was...
I think you accidentally posted in the wrong thread - we're mostly puzzled rather than angry....
I actually feel the new menu is a good thing, and pretty well implemented, yes there are bugs in game that need sorted, but in much the same way as you wouldnt get a plumber to fix your teeth, its different elements of the dev team that work on game design and engine tweaks as to the graphics department, so there was no robbing resources from core game development to make the pretty new menus.
Which is entirely the point... this is the frontier forum... it's supposed to be salty as all hell and full of righteous indignation... This confusion thing is all wrong!
In my view you're splitting hairs to an extreme degree. So it's in the launcher and the main menu - who cares?
Regarding "just add some new gameplay mechanics" it's never that simple. It's about as useful as saying, "Just do better and things will be good."
I couldn't care less tbh.
I spend 5 seconds of my time on the game menu. They screwed up more important things
Things I like about the new menu - it looks nice. Things I don't like: the game now takes several more seconds to load up in order to view this in-game info on the menu. The previous friends list where you could see at a glance who was online and what mode they were in, has now been replaced by info about your own CMDR. The friends list was more useful. There are also fewer options, mainly due to the larger font and the game logo wasting space. I've already bought the game, you don't need to advertise it to me.
It's a bit form over function for me. I can't help but feel that they've put your own ship on the main menu as a subtle hint to buy paintjobs and ship kits.

the thread got conveniently derailed. the hard point op was making was:
wich is a rather recurrent theme in frontier developments but nobody seems really interested in the answer.
This thread's a corker. It started of appallingly, but quickly got much more interesting.
I think we should get rid of the UI completely, and replace it with a CLI.

Comic sans, obviously. Sorry, didn't realise there was any other option otherwise I'd have been more specific.
