I am playing since Christmas (FS! Update) in 1080p on 32" with bad eyesight and UI Scale on 120 %.
I have about 300 hours in KSP1, mainly around mun and minmus. I'm having fun with KSP2 and I have already flown more missions to Jool / Eve / Duna than I did in KSP1.
I LOVE many things. For example the colors or the part PICKER in the VAB. Or the overall GUI elements inflight. Though I second almost everything that has been posted yet. I want to emphasize/add the following points:
• Mission control:
I would like to sort the missions by "latest" and "science reward".
Maybe show the potential science reward right in the List.
• Techtree
Scroll from left to right by mouse wheel and by click and drag.
More prominent display of my current science points. Bigger font, more central position.
• VAB
saving the workspace should need fewer clicks. I want to type the craft name and hit the save button. Maybe put a second textfield for the workspace-name so I dont have to open a dialog for saving.
Camera controls like in KSP1 please. Especially scrolling along the rocket with the mouse wheel.
I cannot read the delta v number of Stage 01. Is it 4893 or 4093?
The Button for extended stage information should be clickable at the right edge of the screen so that I don't have to aim with the mouse cursor but can just push the mouse to the right edge of the screen.
Parts Manager needs to change please. I never search parts by scrolling in it. I always rightclick the part on the rocket and confuse already opened parts with the one I want. I would prefer the KSP1 way.
closing the Parts Manager with Esc.
Some rows of the Parts Manager should have tooltips with descriptions. For example I don't know what the switch "Fore/Aft" of a Mk1-3 Gumball command pod does. Or "Use main throttle".
For the trip planner just show me the commonly known delta v map. Or find a good way to show the inclination delta v of a trip leg that might not be necessary.
Ability to assign no color at all so I get just shiny metal tanks if that's possible.
some really important information of parts is hidden in the shift-view in the part picker. f.e. the range of antennas. Some Information is redundant like the thrust of engines. I would prefer just one representation of information without the need to hit shift.
• Tracking Station:
I don't like the circles around the planets and the star. It does really not feel like a map of the star system this way. Also I don't see the planets at all because there are capsule icons.
I would like a higher contrast in the list on the left. The font should be brighter.
please give the entries in the list some color coding. dark grey for debris, white for capsules, maybe yellow for stations etc. Maybe put small images of the planets beside their names in the List for quicker navigation.
A single click on a Planet in the List should expand its sub list.
When I double click a planet on its orbit, it should focus the planet but I always get some vessel orbiting it.
I cannot distinguish the planets at a glance. F. e. sometimes I confuse Dres with Jool.
• In Flight:
Please give us the option to disable some notifications like when a solar panel cannot face the star anymore.
I would like to close the parts manager and the research inventory by pressing Esc.
The following screenshot shows that the research inventory is partly off screen and I cannot drag it somewhere else.
I would like to delete specific science results.
"completed reports" and "remove all" are not intuitive to me. I am not 100 % sure how these two elements interact with the list.
When I press the science Button, please show little bars next to it that show the progress and the remaining time of all running experiments.
• In General:
please put thousand separators everywhere. (10,000 instead of 10000)
For example in Mission Control at the Science rewards or my current Science points in the techtree in the upper right corner. Or in the orbital velocity and altitude.
clearer fonts without pixel-style.
More uniform fonts and font sizes.
Please no dot in zeroes. Also no diagonal line in zeroes like in the stage number in flight.
please make leading zeroes in a darker grey so the value / time is easier to read.
