Are you not supposed to be making the game better? Are you making it worse to intentionaly alienate the players, especialy the vets?
I particularly hate how you changed the unit readout sheet. As has been advised MAKE A TEST SYSTEM to **** with.
I guess I gave you too much credit, I thought you were smarter than this.

so what exactly is your suggestion here?
What exactly is it that you dislike about the 'new' unit read out sheet? Please clarify exactly what you mean by the 'unit read out sheet' so that we are both talking about the same item.
How exactly would a test server helped with visual changes? I can simply open my browser and see exactly what the changes have done. I 'test' the changes in IE first, then I check them in other browsers like Chrome with the IETab extension. If there are technical issues that you are experiencing with any certain page [links dont work, cant 'see' something any longer] then you should be opening a Help Ticket in game, or at the least a Bug Report forum topic.

When you click on a unit name and a unit readout page comes up. movement, heat etc. The horizontal nature of it is what I do not like. I like to open that sheet and be able to see immediately what it can do. Sorry, but I just dont like it. perhaps it is someething that needs getting "used to". Same can be said for the Login Data and Empire Data page on the left. I am still not used to it. I guess this is my problem.

Looking at it again, if it were maybe "squished" up a bit.

the unit pages are not yet complete
most of the html side of things i work on when i only have a short period of time to work on something
when i have longer time frames, im usually in the DB or tweaking larger issues and working some more complex help tickets etc
long term, the entire GUI will be revamped
what that means is that the entire 3 row top baner/ 1 side banner/ 1 main windows cluster will be going away
will likely end up with 1 larger main window, and a simplified single top or side bar that will contain all the relative data.
rather than have the left window open the same basic descriptive pop-ups, on section will open that pop up [or possible a hover will produce that simply explanation pop-up] and then actually clicking on the empires data for that bit of info, will actually take you to / open that page in the main window. this would eliminate the need for the various tabs / headers that are all over and dont 'flow' very well
once that main window is 'larger' there wont be a need to 'squish' mech and veh info pages. Part of the changes to some of them, is that i added in SP values, so that you can see the SP value BEFORE you actually buy the unit! Crazy I know...
