Yeah I have, but only for the purpose of using those crewman elsewhere. (I'd like to keep the crew at around 80 ) If i could, id put in a forward battery compartment, manuevering room, and radio room along with the after battery.
But I can't. Well... i could.. but I can't because i'm keeping compatibilty with lower resolution settings in mind. If I put in everything that i wanted, id have a whole lot of funky things going on in the crew config screen at the lowest resolution. Truncation, overlapping, that sort of thing. If everyone used the highest resolution, or had wide screen monitors this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
The core cause of this is the way the UI is layed out.
The area on the left is what the showstopper is, It has to go somewhere. I don't know how, but i suppose if it could be made to be flush with the top of the character info in the middle, it would be a great help.
But then there's still this screen to deal with:
Not sure how that could be handled, though i think there is some room there to be used judging by the icon spacing. Then again, this screen is at max resolution at a 4:3 ratio.
The UI is a little bit on the poor side in design when one considers adding correct compartments.
