<div class="IPBDescription">Kahraa</div>I didn't do any mocks for the UI in 159; there were not enough changes from the previous patch to really add anything different. I did make one.. but mostly it felt sort of nit picky in regards to escaping menus, right clicks, selecting a single unit out of drag select with multiple units. It didn't have the positivity that I personally like to bring to my threads.
As i have been looking at Marine UI for couple patches i took a little walk over to the alien side in the spawn room out of curiosity. I feel like the Kharaa need a bit more flavor in the game because more or less everything is more TSA looking.
This is not a Kharaa Hive Mind UI mock up thread like my others for marines but just a simple <b>thread that i hope is focused more on the players UI</b> as they play the game, evolve into new things, upgrade themselves.
I recognize that changing the Kahraa UI is a bigger deal since it will involve much more art work than say marines with blue boxes.
IDEA 1: Kahraa Fonts; need to be easily readable. Need to find one that feels right. I don't really think any of these fit the bill; Need community help :P
Fonts left to right
1. Requiem

Also with the text and numbers for the structure's health. I think doesn't really fit the feel of the aliens. But that is just the ns1 fan in me saying that I liked the build/health ring in ns1.
