My Deployment Screen redesign (merging it with the map)

[ruro]

I love it.

One thing I would add though is a clear indication via an icon of what vehicles are available at each base - until I learnt what was available where it was frustrating when I'd spawn at a base only to find it didn't have a tank spawn. One for air and another for either tracked/wheeled or wheeled only spawns.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Higby over on Reddit has said their UI guys have been planning this Map/Deployment merger for a while, so at the very least, it might get bumped up the "to do" list after my efforts. Either way, it's great to see SOE know where they need to improve without the community pointing it out for them!

I just had to say... wonderful. +1

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1

I like the right-side consolidation and moving the continents to a drop-down. As we add new continents putting all on the screen at once will not scale.

I rather have a proper Global Map. Like PS1 used to have before the bending.

I like this idea, so much better than the current deployment screen.

SOE need to hire this man.

Personally i'd switch the left and right side of the design around, most people are orientated to the right.

Great job +1. Really hope SOE looks at your work and takes notes. Your class screen was better than theirs too.

[SturmovikDrakon]

Your designs are outstanding

[Prometheuss]

Excellent!

This is great and well thought out. Only thing it's missing is text chat.

I signed up so quickly to comment on this that I forgot to capitalize my name. I like this a lot, I really wish this were the default screen. next you have to do the equipment load out screens! Oh man, that is so clumsy and unintuitive it's unreal. It would probably take you a week to sort out that mess.

It feels like it was just slapped together so they had something functional to give us but no real thought was put into it. Hopefully we get something real later on but I doubt it.

Very nice job, i totally support this. The current UI is sub-optimal to put it christmas friendly. Tiny drop-down menus...yeah right.

The same template could be also used for the equipment screens (as "yadda" mentioned those make santa rage too).

Just one addition (might have just missed it) that is very important imo: KEYBINDS for the different loadouts. It should be "use terminal, push loadout number, done".

I like it, but most people don't have widescreen monitors, so it needs to be able to work on the smaller aspect ratios as well.

Excellent spawn screen ideas I really like it!
