I would like to emphasize I realize this is a Beta and all that it implies. 1) Font Size. Mentioned in my first post. This is a biggie for me. I have seen the screen shots of new interfaces and hope this gets reflected throughout all the screens. 2) World display. I liked the picture where the mission control and test messages where in the middle. Hope this gets implemented. 3) The icons for the planes/copter and ufo's need to be more stylized. They don't look crisp enough. 4) I lost two planes (mainly not knowing how to control them). I like the idea of the mini game. I also read you may do an auto-fight. Possibly add Pilot training/abilities improvement and give a percentage of win and allow disengage. 5) Squad display. Would like to see bar charts of all properties so a quick glance you can see which attribute's are good/bad. Progression from red to green. Not the tool-tip. If this means reducing the pictures then not a biggie for me. 6) The ground combat display of where movement is to be is just block squares. Ugly. replace with green footprints! 7) The line of sight line is block and highlights the blocky maths of line of sight. Get rid of the line and just show the target. (Obviously improve the los calculations as well). 8) Alien A.I. is so dumb at the moment. It's like shooting pumpkins. They need more realistic actions. That's all for now. I will wait until the next beta comes out before playing again. On the plus side. This is looking and has the possibility to be the successor to our beloved game of our childhood. Keep up the good work.

I have just bought the game and my only real gripe at the moment is the font size. I have seen a few postings on new UI interfaces and that the font will be changing but when? I would guess that old timers like me who played x-com when it came out are now at a certain age where constant playing on computers has created a slight imperfection to their eye site. Balancing, crashes and graphic glitches I can cope with on a beta. But I need to play the game without squinting which will only worsen my already failing eyesight. I am playing on a laptop (all my games mainly paradox/ageod show and play smoothly) 1366x768 p.s. Have also enabled beta updates on steam so playing with latest beta.
