<div class="IPBDescription">Got some ideas to share?</div>Seeing the task in the progress list, I can't help but wonder what aesthetic and functional approach will they decide for the buy menu.

Personally, I'd like an NS1 style crosshair menu, with the previous Alien Commander circular layout. The images of the lifeforms would be on each side, and mousing over, say, the Skulk, would show its upgrades in icon form around the image. Maybe make it look like pustules and infestation branching off for that extra kick.

The description space would reside at the bottom and centered with the crosshair menu, for things such as Personal Resource cost, evolution time, health, armor, abilities, etc. Also, I wouldn't mind if it indicated the current melee and armor upgrades level, just as a reminder in case the upgrades went unnoticed.

This is just an example, I'd like to hear your ideas. Perhaps even from the devs if they want to shed some light on this :)

    I know its nearly impossible but i'd like no HUD at all...
    I really love the on-model-ingame thing ammo hud for the marines :)
    would be cool if the minimap had an overlay that would look like the map is hovering in front of your fave (lasier thing... you know.. the blue light rines have as their visor) oh and health shouldnt be displayed

    Health and armor should be displayed, but again as a HUD overlay projection.

    Something like FEAR2 display which looks projected from a helmet of some sort.

    I would like the same but for the aliens. I have thoughts of a little single celled organism tech tree. Floaty background, particles everywhere. Maybe an inside the egg view.
