User Interface Suggestions

Forgive me if another thread such as this exists, the only one I could find was over a year old.

A couple minor things struck me as I was playing today involving the user interface...

On the station welcome screen there is a list of "items in demand" in the lower left hand corner.


It would be nice to be able to hilight each item and get a little more info about it under the "Item details" field. Just an icon and a description such as under the commerce tab would make this list a little more accessible imho.

.....

A second thought I had was that it would be useful to have an option to auto-switch the license indicator in the top right of the in-flight hud.

Often times I find myself pursuing one activity (such as mining) for a length of time, and don't bother to go under the character screen to switch the indicator using the radio button (yeah I'm lazy). As a selectable option the game could automatically set the license indicator to the category of last experience gained, saving the player the trouble of switching it manually.

I would absolutely love a cvar for the displayed license.

It'd be easy enough to toggle them with a simple set of aliases:

alias ToggleLicenseOnHUD "CombatLicense"
alias CombatLicense "set showLicense 1; alias ToggleLicenseOnHUD LightLicense"
alias LightLicense "set showLicense 2; alias ToggleLicenseOnHUD HeavyLicense"
alias HeavyLicense "set showLicense 3; alias ToggleLicenseOnHUD TradeLicense"
alias TradeLicense "set showLicense 4; alias ToggleLicenseOnHUD MiningLicense"
alias MiningLicense "set showLicense 5; alias ToggleLicenseOnHUD CombatLicense"

Please add "Unload all" button to the Welcome screen

As commander of a trading guild, I strongly second the "Unload All" button!

I've thought of this level display-switching before, but didn't think to post about it. I second that too.
