UI is extremely important. The UI should communicate all the  needed info to the player at a glance. I have argued this perspective  in several "ideas", where i have posted what i consider to be  substantial UI upgrades. In the back of my mind however, there is this  nagging feeling that less people see the Ideas page, than the forums  here. So ill post here to get rid of that nagging feeling. In ES1, the  bonuses that a planet had were revealed for all to see when you zoom  into the system. While the zooming in mechanic still exists in ES2, the  current ES2 mechanic hides all the super important information from the  player, presumably to mimic some unnecessary game of peek-a-boo. Sadly, a  player is required to waste time mousing over each individual planet in  order to see specifically what each planet contains. Clearly the Devs  felt it important that the player knows, and thus recognizes, what  planet type something is by making that clearly visible, but everything  else is pointlessly obscured. i guess everything else isn't important  enough for the player to worry about? Please remove the mouse over  mechanic, and just make all the bonus descriptions fully visible, all  the time. This will aid in communicating the finer details of a system  to a player. The current mechanic is just frustrating. 


Devs, plz.
