What a cluster the interface is...

This game could be really enjoyable but my lord, the interface design is so horribly screwed up that it makes it damn difficult for me to get into the game. The devs really need to consider fixing almost every aspect of the game interface because it seriously looks and plays like it came from the 90's. The map is attrocious and hardly works properly. The inventory is so messed up when should be simple. None of the buttons are labeled so good luck on moving things in your inventory without selling to shooting it out your airlock. Combining stacks of materials is damn near impossible, stupidly enough, get ready to fire those out your airlock as well.

This is just sloppy work dev, and I understand that its just a lone wolf operation for this game but crap this game would be so much easier to play if you'd take the effort to fix the GLARING holes in the inv and trade interfaces. Give us a decent map at the very least!

I agree that it should be clearer what you are doing, in relation with selling, or jettisoning objects. I did find it easy once I figured it out.

Could you be more specific in other areas?

Nav map should have much greater detail and be in 3D.

To be honest I'm surprised it passed Steam's quality check, the game clearly isn't finished. It's a great game, but a lot of things keep it down that just clearly aren't ready yet (Like the awful UI and the graphics on planets...)
