3.0.8 Preview: Interface (Update)

posted on June 19th, 2009, 9:59 pm

What other goodies are in 3.08? Is there a new race? Are there new ships? What new things can I expect? Is this just an UI patch or is there more sugar in there than new UI?

Awesome... I love how the new Federation UI looks more clean and high tech. I am absolutely dying to know how you guys got rid of the cinematic box...

i like is the ship info section permantly that small (it would be great if it was) also ship info like system disabled is to do with the wire frame you just need to install there wire frames from the 3.0pr (and mayb older version)

The profiles of the selected ships in the fleet bar are absolutely wonderful - considering the garrish ~15-pixel icons it replaced, the bar wasn't too high, but still, love em!

Will the backgrounds of the buttons be filled in / is the gray just temporary?

Also, thanks for getting rid of the cinematic window - don't listen to the people who liked it lol

The buttons look good, but it looks silly without the window.

and the cinematic window... I don't like it, hopefully FO gets a bunch more FPS without it.

First thought = WOWEEEEEEZZZZZ
Second thought = looks kinda sterile
Third thought = It needs something to break up all the sterility like gradients and transparency.
Fourth thought = Wow Gonna be harder to mod it now cause those buttons themselves look "premo"

I like it, never used the cinematic anyway.

The cinematic window is a drag on system performance. Good riddance IMHO.
This new interface looks clean and simplistic. Two good things in my book.
The new buttons and ship icons look great.
It gives all the necessary information without taking up space or becoming distracting.
While the UI should reflect the style of the race, the most important thing is function.
I think this is great. I have no complaints.
The only thing I would ask for is new buttons for transport, orders, and AI buttons.

While the grey look oulining the mini map and and ship/ station info looks good, like you were looking at a federation console it is lacking the LCARS buttons to go with it.... still is an improvement. I like the cinematic window being gone.
