Part of the reworking of the game will involve reworking the main game interface.  Would you prefer something similar to what we currently have, something a little more artistic/game like, or something simpler?

I voted for the,"something a little more artistic/game like", I think it would make me feel like I'm more into the Mars scene !!

I voted for the first one because I am afraid of change, but if you can rework it in a way which makes sense to me and I can use, then go ahead and do that. Smiley

Checkboxes so we could sell multiple mineral types at once that would be nice. Sometimes I get to a settlement with a low population and only want to sell the cheap stuff, so I have to go through the sell menu a dozen times to get rid of the minerals I want while keeping the others.

Other than that, there's not really much to complain about the interface. Would be nice to have a few more lines in chat, probably some other small stuff I can't think of right now, but there's nothing unpleasant/eyesore inducing about how it looks.

Not a fan of more simple/text only - I like the center graphic/etc. Would have to see how more flashy turned out to decide if it was better or not. If you're doing a huge redo of the interface it'd be nice to leave the option to use the "classic" interface in for anyone who's not fond of the new one.

One game I've been to has the option of using your own CSS script, using a really bland CSS, or using the default more graphical one. So some people have actually come up with their own custom setups and posted them in the forums for people to use. How hard would that be to implement?
