How happy are you with the UI changes in the latest release?

eXo | Cadet Matt

I've documented the number of issues I've seen on iPhone X but am curious how happy those who might be using other platforms are with the UI changes.

I’ll wait until the forced upgrade for all the feature to judge

Could be better, could be worse

More important to me atm is how well the bug fixes work

The game is slightly cut off on one side now on my Note 8, but not horrendous

I'm disappointed with the UI changes

The Fleet interface now has weird black bars on the top and bottom like it's in super-widescreen mode, and the scroll bar in the starbases makes it look like "Fleet Recommended" is crossed out.

I don't understand why they had to change these things, I guess it has to do with the iPhone X, but I find them very annoying.

The other changes I don't mind, and I like the new Cryo. But I'm disappointed they fixed things that weren't broke.

Likewise, with Mr Wes on this one... full changes haven't been applied yet. This may even give them time to fix known issues/problems in time for the forced upgrade so there's really no point having an opinion either way yet, if you spot an error report it so they know and can do something about it.

I like the frozen instead of airlock icon just wish I see it more regularly.

To clarify, it has been stated in the Engineering Room that issues with the UI are not bugs but changes to support a greater variety of resolutions and are "working as intended." It is my hope that they get addressed in the forced update or in a future update.

They personalized the UI for Iphone X, and how about other 75% users of android or another IOS, we have images cut and UI smaller, bad change! And where is the filter for inventory???

This is not a difficult coding job. You run a script that determines the part number of the phone or device, run it against a database of native resolutions, and ONLY run the super-widescreen display on devices that are in that aspect ratio.

Otherwise you maintain the old resolution. And don't tell me it would bloat the program size. This could easily be implemented by a computer science student. For Facebook and Steam, I don't see why this would even be enacted in the first place.

Layout and display issues, crew picture being shrunk, equipment build issues, it's a big zero from me. I should have known better than to apply the update day 1, I won't be making that mistake again.

On the bright side, cryostasis being alphabetical has promise as long as they actually get all the persona names working correctly.

Yeah, if I can code a webpage to detect browser resolution and scale accordingly, then someone with an actual degree in computer science should be able to code a resolution-sensing mechanism into the game.

I'd even take an old-school resolution selector in the settings at this point. Text was already rendered poorly on my phone (iPhone SE) and now everything is even worse.

Horrible, just horrible...some good new things broke others that were not broken before.

So far, I've seen good and can-be-improved things, but I want to see and try the full update before it goes on any trial on my part.

It is just as bad on iPhone X. The game takes up the entire screen now instead of letterboxed on all sides, but all of the UI elements are messed up.

I'll wait to see what the forced update looks like. As of now I find the characters and graphics have been downsized. I like looking at the character detail, so smaller is better. There are good things like cryostasis updates but the same character should be grouped together and searchable like crew quarters.

Pallidyne

Could be better, could be worse

The sorting in the Cryo I find good, even just the alpha we have now (esp if they fix who is labeled what for their parent character)
The shoehorning into the new shiny phone resolutions rather than optimizing for whatever is on the phone is bad.
The shading of the characters when looking at equipment (well blacking out really) is bad.

So its a mixed bag. Mostly not happy, but I'm used to that after things in 1.8, etc.

I'm disappointed with the UI changes

For what it’s worth, the UI changes seem to be a sidestep...the game looks a bit different, but neither better nor worse on the whole. Bug fixes are always welcome, however. On its pure merits, ‘could be better could be worse’ might be a more accurate description, though I’m genuinely disappointed with the lack of clear improvement, especially with the Cryostasis Vault.

I'm disappointed with the UI changes

Yesterday was the first day in two years that I didn't complete my daily challenges. The UI is so atrocious, DB's decisions and direction so daft at times that, despite spending a few thousand dollars on this game, I may just not care any more.

Crazy Leo

Could be better, could be worse

The UI changes in the crew quarters is a pain, but the stars and names in the Cryo vault is nice. I'll wait to say more till the forced upgrade.

I don't notice much changes tbh

I don't like it, but I'm reserving judgement until the changes are all turned on. Otherwise it would be like judging the Mona Lisa without waiting for the eyes to be painted.

I'm disappointed with the UI changes

To be honest, a lot of things look 'a little worse'.

Things like when you click the Fleet icon after members and before the squadrons now there is just a blank space before the top squadron, when you equip items to crew now they are 'grayed-out' / black screen over them, and other little things like that too.

Webberoni

I'm disappointed with the UI changes

The fleet screen is the worst, but the inventory and replicating screens are also cropped horribly. This is consistent on both an iPhone 6 and iPhone 7.

I don't understand the issue?

It's showing the diversity of the game, mainly by including "crew" and not just "captains" which everyone expects to see in an ST loading screen.

My main gripe with the new loading screen is Worf doing double-duty as the TNG and DS9 rep, also that the TOS rep is from the movies

Could be better, could be worse

As UI changes go this is at least one that doesn't break the game like some in the past have

On that note, which part of John Billingsley isn't white or male?

I mean, presumably the guy was commenting on the characters, and Saru is a Kelpian, albeit a white one. (don't know if there are non-white Kelpians)
