Counter-intuitive UI

[Hadrian]

I see this as an issue that needs to be fixed and can be fixed. So please do it.

Why am I not able to see both my inventory and map at the same time? (Player Info menu)

The map is also very messy and very hard to tell what is what. I often see these tooltips from stations that list their wares, and when I click them, the name of the wares are highlighted. I do not know what purpose that serves. Perhaps I missed that in the tutorial...

Nevertheless, I trust that this would be fixed.

There are two different inventories, you can see with the map open the load in the ships when you click in information, also you can open this from the map, right button on a ship and there you have information also... your personal inventory only in the player menu.

The map got a legend and also great filters, also a tool to reset the view if you mess with the 3 axis of it too much.
If you click on a ware name you are adding it to the filter and the other wares become less visible. This is really of use when you star trading, you can hide this information in the top right area of the map, were the legend and filters for the map are.
A little detail that is very useful if you are looking for a ware and there are a few factories in that area when you move your cursor over the ware that you want a line will show that go to the factory that sell or bought that ware.


It is a complex game that take time to understand but by far this map is the easier and with more options that Egosoft ever has released.

The X-series is the last word in counter-intuitive UI. It's a feature...

Make peace and move on. You'll have a much better time.
