Roll back the UI and graphical changes.

Gonna be frank. Most of your new UI sucks, FDev. Confusing layouts, drilling thru endless menus, wasted screen space, poor control response... it's a bloody mess. I understand that SOME changes were necessary to make way for new features, but things like the maps, station services screen, shipyard menu, and outfitting interface were not broken. And even if they were, I'd question if these changes count as fixes.

And as for the new visuals... yeesh.

The embarrassment that my once-glorious Krait Mk2's engines have become:

These stickers used to be shiny.

Shiny, gritty metal reduced to flat, dull plastic. Glorious flames diminished to pitiful candles. I should honestly add some screenshots from Mitterand Hollow to this, cuz it's not just ships. Planets are now flat, glowy light bulbs devoid of color and soul. Lighting and shadow don't seem to line up with stars and planets. And you'd think a visual downgrade would come with a performance BOOST, but no, the game seems to run WORSE in many places.

Maybe the option to switch between Horizon and Odyssey's UI and graphics on our own prerogative would be too complex to code. In that case, just roll back these unnecessary changes.

PS: I've deleted the graphics settings folder and updated my GPU drivers. Also tried switching settings to ultra. My T10 and Krait are still plastic candle boxes.

The new UI is so frustrating on so many levels. In the Galaxy Map and outfitting especially. This does not feel like an upgrade. It's something that was good made less good and more complicated. I notice I'm reluctant to play because of this.
