Love this game and I know it is still in progress. The game design, it's great, does nearly everything well. One area that I feel could use an overhaul; the UI.

1. The left menu should be combined with bottom menu into a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. One toolbar to rule them all!

2. The binocs should use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom and unzoom.

3. There should be keybindings available for some/all of the helm commands; hard right rudder hard left rudder, rudder amidships, and bow lookout. Currently using Voice attack I have these set up as T Y, U for the helm commands, right mouse button to take me directly to bow lookout and depress the mouse wheel to toggle zoom. But these are the essentials there should be more available.

4. The Plot should be more markable and eraseable. Player should be able to draw on it, erase parts or all, and have more control over it. Give me a pencil & a sheet of paper and I will show you what I mean.

5. The current Speed and Compass icons (bottom left) require two clicks to operate, they should be open all the time so the player can click directly to the speed telegraph or compass rose to make changes.

6. Whenever you get a CBDR warning you should get a small bow lookout popup similar to the TRR popup.

7. Definitely need to make sure the game is clear on reports that they are referring to Relative or True bearing.

Any thoughts?
