Very true, unfortunately. Hopefully they continue to improve it.

Or just replace it with OP's.

I gotta admit....I'd pay SC for that UI adjustment.....its stellar and highlights exactly what we need in a clean and concise manner. Props to the OP, SOE should hire you.

Asked Higgles about it by email. He replied integrating menu windows was high on his priority list.

Really dig this, I prefer it as its more like the original. I still say however, we need the respawn button back.

When you die, all you see is your corps and the respawn button. Until you hit that, you can be revived. When you hit it, you see this screen and can no longer be revived.

This would really cut down on headaches for everyone, including medics.

Chat box...needs to be there when you are deploying. Currently you have to press P then go to chat.

Yes! This is brilliant. Props for creating a mockup and getting so much buzz about this. I made a thread a while ago listing this as one of my gripes, but it got little attention.

The current tiny little window feels so against the epic scale of Planetside. This would be so much better

From my first time playing, I couldn't stand the current deployment screen / map setup. This is absolutely perfect! What I wouldn't give to be able to mod it in.

The excellence of the OP just killed me.

I like it a lot. So often am I switching between multiple screens when redeploying even just to mouseover hexes to check activity levels. Good job.

Not sure how it would fit in per se but I do agree that this is pretty frustrating as well. It's nice to not only be able to continue to send chat messages during your only real downtime (respawning), but even being able to see them more easily than going to the social menu would be great.
