I am posting this as an example of how to clean up some 'Mech information in the games UI. MWO gives you a lot of information, something new players can easily become overwhelmed with. The example I am suggesting is a simple break down and blow up of important information. We should show the player the basics of what they need to know but also give them the option to see more detailed information if required (I would suggest an expansion tab for each major category).

BEFORE: Information is compressed and overwhelmed with charts and graphs. The 'Mech selections drop downs are bulky and redundant.




AFTER: 'MECH selection dropdown is slimmed and simplified. 'Mech specs are categorized and color coded based on weapon types. Less pertinent information is removed and more important information is enlarged. Simplified wording on redundant information.


I have only been playing 6 weeks so I have come into the game fresh with this new UI. If it wasn't for my Unit I would still be struggling with processing this information. This is to help new players and lessen the learning curve.
