The incomplete stock UI

[Decoman]

I have a list of some conciderations:

• Movable UI elements, preferably with a lock, when appropriate.
• Resizable UI elements, when appropriate.
• Responsive mouse-over-balloons, when appropriate.
• Responsive mouse-over-graphics, when appropriate.
• Snap to screen edge, snap to UI menu elements, when appropriate.
• Hotkey support for UI elements
• Hotkey support for overlay UI elements, e.g spawning menu when holding down a button
• Unused UI elements, for adding new UI elements if new UI elements couldn't otherwise be modded to be used in the game.

Darkwraith,

Gotta say your UI is looking faboulous! Persoanlly i'd be pleased with a few UIs to chose from so i dont see why different modders dont come up with different UIs which can be switched around.

I/m just appreciative all you great modders like Ducimus, Darkwraith and all others who are creating mods. I really feel bad my tech skills are so poor because i feel im just leeching off eveyones work.

well now that I can import my own 'settings' on demand I have the ability to make multiple UIs a snap. My vision is for the game to read files associated with a UI that defines what the UI looks like. This way people can create new UIs on their own.
The real neat part is that you'll be able to change up your UI in real time via a page like preferences or options. Don't like the way your UI looks while playing? Hit the escape key, go to preferences or options, make some changes, resume game to see changes. That's where I'm heading with this.

so now I need to sort out the orders bar. My vision for the orders bar is that it's orders that only the captain can give - orders like battlestations, rig for silent running, etc. So I'd like to compile a list of these commands so I can implement them. Let's make a list so I can complete the orders bar (it wasn't visible in my screenshot as I haven't implemented it yet). I'll compile a list of what each officer can do from the officer shortcut bar and post here.

His vision doesn't sound as myopic as mine.
