Topic: Most popular UIs? (Read 1131 times)

Just out of idle curiousity
If one was to have a server with 4 sides
UI's would likely include Fed,Klink,Lyran and...

Assuming Kzin is out (due to the H&R thing) what's the general consensus on the next easiest to use
UI?
Rom? ISC? Hydran? Gorn? <snicker> Ok so Rom, ISC or Hydran?

My biggest gripe with the Rom UIs, is that it's hard to read shield strength from the schematic. Hydran's have a similar problem, but not nearly as bad as the Roms. I like races where I can tell if the sheild is down, or barely functional without having to put my face an inch away from the screen. Because there is a difference...

Really?
Hmm never noticed.
Only screen I have issues reading is the Gorn.

Well, naturally I'm rather fond of the Gorn UI. I find the color scheme makes everything easy to see and is easy to stare at for extended amounts of time.

My list, from best to worst, would be:
Gorn
Romulan
Hydran
ISC

The Romulan and ISC have good color schemes that are easy to look at and use. They Hydran is good too, just a little dark.

I'd reverse Hydran and ISC, if it weren't for that ISC voice!!! As it is, I'll take the Hydrans english voice over the frogvoice.

If one of these four is to include Kzin, then the Kzin UI should be included as it looks like MIRVs will not work in any other UI. (still to be confirmed) No H&R pause is not such a big deal, just an extra click or two, we've lived with it for years (actually I never knew there was such a feature and always wondered what that button was supposed to do, lol).

Nah I think I can safely say no Kzin will be harmed during the course of the server.

Katfight will (of course) use the Kzin & Lyran UI's.

Mirvs certainly don't work correctly on the Klingon ones.
Just don't have Mirvs, period and there won't any issues.
