While Integral commits design sins─particularly in the orders tab having no set structure, and transport/retreat zones not being in a separate widget─how is it the worst? Tabular menu navigation is loads more compact and easier to navigate than the crap TA had, especially since with hotkeys every building is just two keystrokes away. The only UI design I think would handle the amount of construction options better is something like how Rise of Nations did it[tooltip=Multiple buttons to submenus, each of which had buttons to the other submenus. It adds non-building buttons to build menus, but removes tabs so that non-builders keep their command UI uncluttered][color=orange][?][/color][/tooltip].

I
guess
build
queue
could
be
in
the
selection
widget,
since
that's
the
only
other
widget
which
is
dependent
on
local
selection,
and
build
queues
should
probably
only
be
shown
when
selected.
If
people
want
to
see
all
build
queues,
there's
FacPanel
for
that,
but
that's
just
one
more
bit
of
noise
for
newer
players.
Great
for
spectating
and
I
guess
teams
to
see
all
players'/allies'
queues
at
once,
but
when
playing
it's
a
lot
of
data
you
probably
already
know
or
are
too
overwhelmed
with
the
rest
of
the
UI
to
care
about,
since
you
already
hit
the
buttons
to
build
the
units.
Most
players
use
infinite
queue
so
their
composition
isn't
going
to
change
without
them
changing
it.
