I have a small issue with the massive amounts of messages you get after a fight. Would it be possible for us to have an option to turn some of them off, or just make the messages neater/tighter together? Turning off the donation one would be nice, and perhaps the repair cost messages. The others are more important info but having the option to turn them off would still be nice for certain circumstances (broken armor on win dumpers for example).

This is a pretty big issue for me personally due to my resolution size 1366x768, and this screenshot was with my window touching top to bottom. If I keep a window above the MIRC chat in a way that lets me see a few lines of chat, I don't even need broken armors to be hindered from seeing energy remaining on a target.

Oh and before somebody mentions the no-frames option, I find that terribly ugly and even more difficult to use. I still use the forums and go to showroom etc. as I score.

How about replacing your armours for a start, lazy boy!

But yes, totally agreed, there's an excessive amount of information displayed but only 30-40% of it is actually useful depending on what you are doing. "Auto Repair: No costs have been deducted" seems especially useless, why even tell us?

And Gpof, get a real screen ;)

Well my old monitor broke, it was a 1600x900 and kind of old. At the time I was dual monitoring with a real piece of shit monitor, 1024x768 and it wasn't backlit or LCD. It's one of those monitors with a perma-VGA chord connected to it :\ My new graphics card is just DVI and HDMI, otherwise I'd use it to keep my chat in or something.

You could go ahead and send me that second monitor of yours though ^^

I agree the information could be made more precise and easy to understand. Part of the reason for the current layout is that it's a throwback to bots2, but maybe it's time to change. I do have some plans for revamping what this looks like when opponent energy display is added, so I'll take a look then.

Oh and Fishwick, I recognize exactly where that photo on your desktop was taken - the lit-up red Colgate clock gives Jersey City away. :) I live/work closeby on the other side of the river.

That's pretty cool, and a keen eye to notice. Though I have to admit, I got it (and the others that rotate with it) from some form of "cool background" thread on reddit.
