[SUGGESTION] Interface suggestions

I have a few suggestions for the SoSE interface that I feel would improve gameplay and should be easy to implement.

1. Use a different color or model for unexplored planets versus uncolonized planets on the zoomed-out view. In multi-start maps, this would help determine what needs to be explored when you zoom out.

2. Add an option to not auto-pin starbases. I like to auto-pin capital ships only, so right now I have to go in and manually unpin every starbase I create.

3. In the research view, make the tabs flash if something is being researched, similar to the way the research button at the top of the screen does. That way, you could tell at a glance if nothing is being researched in one research branch.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for a great game!

I totally disagree with this, you can tell what can and cannot colonize by the type of the planet you encounter.

What? They use the grey symbol for unexplored planets...

I think these are all already applied to the game

I'd like to see some improvements to the User Interface.

Something I find bothersome is that once I log otno Ironclad Online, I can't access settings features, such as keybinds, at least not until I either log off or I'm in a game.

I think Game hosts should also be able to see what other games are available.

I think that people who join a game chat channel (but not the game itself) should be able to see the players who are in the game and what teams they are on, etc.

If you have joined a game and then change chat channels, I think you should be able to see a list of who's in the chat channel.

How about having multiple chat channel tabs?

How about allowing players to be able to see Regular Sins games from Entrenchment?

For the record, I actually think the Sins user interface is pretty good. It's slick and quick for the most part.
