[Kanatta Jing]

I want to see what is under the "Play Now" tab. I think that is where the candy is hidden.

Ya and its right next to the mc only dragon. Plus the last letter in the variant designation is a "c" soit`s the champion mech. You got my hopes up for a hunchie hero...

[Ryvucz]

I'll have a wall of mechs to stare at... '(O.O)'

But yeah, more immersion like the MechWarrior for Super Nintendo, that had a cool base of operations. =P

[GalaxyBluestar]

sorry for raising hopes etc etc, i'm very disconectted with the details of this game for... obvious reasons.

[Zyfe]

So what have they implemented so far.. a FOR-LOOP?

[Country Gravy]

Nope. Just the FOR-SKIN.

The screen is functional looking. Looks like they are going for a straight forward interface with not much immersion. Looking forward to seeing the other screen.

I think the point of the screen is the seemless adaption to screen size. It is scaling, yay

I hope they get this UI2.0 out fast. Not that i expect too much from it (at least, it's another tab-menu based UI) but it would prove that they can actually finish a feature.

When i think about it, we're lucky that pgi didn't try to put in an immersive menu, like a walkable dropship or mechbay with a command center and a purchase station. That wouldn't be finished in 10 years

menus menus menus. Could have a bit more character and theme to make it actually immersive with the universe.

Yeah, I wished they would go with how it was in Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries...even the menu in that game was a feast for my mechwarrior heart. I'm sure UI 2.0 is efficient and functional but sometimes, too much "functional" and no immersion "flair" is pretty dull too.

[Booran]

I'm all for function, although I can sure miss the nostalgia of elaborate menu screens from 90's PC games.
Still, a slicker, more direct UI goes a looooong way for overall experience.

[Roadbeer]

Wouldn't want to... you know, put those screen shots in the THREAD ABOUT UI 2.0!!!

[CeeKay Boques]

Sigh, I color coordinate my mechs, that's how I remember what they are and whats on them. "Orange, Still in progress" "Blue/Gold, Moduled, good to go" "Yellow: I hate this freakin' machine" "Specialized Camo: I love you."

I wish they would show the camo/colors in the thumbnail preview, that's maybe a pretty big resource draw, but c'mon...

Thank you for making a new UI... its not very MechWarrior/Battletechy... but maybe you can buff the lab for immersion instead.

These guys don't give a {Scrap} about immersion. To them, the BT universe is just a wrapper for a shooter.

Build me a UI in Cryengine using scaleform that integrates with a server and possible large metagame like CW in 3 months in working condition and I'll believe you. Plus this is a F2P game, it isn't a very good medium for immersion in a user interface unless you seriously go out of your way to do so, which consiidering limited manpower is generally not worth the effort to put in unless it is a core feature.

If you want to have immersion so badly that it permeates the mechlab, play the older games.
