It would be nice if I could click on a line in the mech enhancements window and have the node display jump to that portion of the skill branch.

I cant figure out how to zoom in and out in the nodes display. As it is, i can only see half a dozen nodes at once. It would be easier for me to plan if I could click on a button and have the node display go full screren, so i could see an entire skill branch, or even just most of one, at one time.

Some of the skill branches are difficult to custumize. The survival branch, for example, forces you to take equal parts skeletal density armor hardening and fall damage tweaks in order to advance to the maximum of any one branch.

Well pilots who use their jump jets a lot might value fall damage tweaks the most, while brawlers are sure to want hardened armor.

All in all it's still a great game

You zoom in/out with the mouse scroll wheel.
I would like to see it jump up too as im have issues with it slightly moving and not being able to click the node until it stops. It makes selecting them quickly hard.

Indeed, here are my thoughts on that:

-Mouse wheel scrolling requirement is excessive/differs from other UI scheme.
++Amend by making use of scroll box theme of the rest of the UI.

-Skill tree boxes "vanish" into the background at that "invisible line" above them.
++Amend with "Tab" system that integrates the top title area of trees into each tab.

-Text in Node Hex's is varied in size, often smaller than the text on the left section tabs of the screen, some times smaller than the text in the "Current Mech Enhancements" box.
++Use standard sized text in each node hex.
++Making use of the "dead space" inside/outside each node hex.
++Move the nodes closer together.
++Change the shape of the nodes to Hex’s shaped like those of Fallout 1&2 (pictured below) which fits more text and uses less vertical space; these Hex shapes are wider than they are tall and more Hex’s can be fit in a vertical space in a visually satisfying way.

I wish they would give you a "map". Cursor over a Node and the path from the top lights up to it.

My mouse wheel/zoom dosn't work. How do folks who don't have a mouse wheel zoom in and out? I did discover that you can minimize the enhancements window. That helps a lttle bit. The branches would be easier for me to read if they whent from left to right rather then up and down.
