I suppose I'm
too old for this shit, and
get off my lawn, but I hate the new UI, which just follows the conventionalism of RTS
I don' want that thing at the right bottom corner (I never used them in rts games, usually with right click, left click and attack move is enough), nor I want the ugly box at the bottom left corner, the number at the middle bottom aren't really needed nor the left top bit.
I prefer the super minimalistic but functional UI of the original
It seems a small difference but it gave the feeling you were -in space-, you were giving orders and looking at stuff in game, not giving orders -through a hud-.
Why don't you use the "hide hud" feature? You'll ask. Because it's a gimmick feature it isn't well thought. Yes, it hides the hud, but that doesn't mean you can use the UI as in the classic game, as it doesn't have the list of selected ships in the right top corner and the right click menu has made super clunky. Before it was opened with just a right click button, now it's
holding down shift + right click, and "unholding" the keys when you are on top of the correct choice.
I don't have a problem with the new build menu, in the other hand, it's better than the modal window from HW1, but again, it could have been designed in a more minimalistic style.
