UI Modifications Nominal After Tuesday Release
TUESDAY, JUNE 2ND, 3050 -- After the Tuesday patch that unveiled new improvements to the 'MechLab. Including tweaks made to the speed and usability of the overall interface, the modifications were, on the whole, a resounding success in the Sphere. From the ease of viewing and switching modules, and 'Mech upgrades to the user interface running a little bit more like the super convenient, and easy to use Smurfy's MechLab.
Elsewhere in the Sphere, discussion, ranged from overall satisfaction, to some dismay at the loss of the grid view for the MechWarriors' garage of owned 'Mechs. More surprising was the call for a return to some features of UI 1.0, like the scroll layout featuring the pilot's favorite 'Mechs at the beginning of the list, as well as the flavor text that ran at the top of the display.
Though, you won't hear me arguing for a competing News outlet. .. ____________________________________________________________________
