Ok. The way I see it, a reasonable fleet op will mandate 7 open windows

1. Overview
2. Overview info
3. Scanner
4. Local Chat
5. Fleet Chat
6. Fleet Info/history
7. Drone control

Anyone have a way to make all these windows look decent and still see your ship sexiness?

Dual monitors, 3840x1080, all the windows on one monitor, the ship on the other.

Here's how I do it. (scanner not visible, is very slim and alongside the overview when opened. drone window is to the right of general chat)

Why do you need to see the ship? I don't and I manage quite fine.

I never fight zoomed in on my ship. I Luke seeing the colored dots and knowing when they get too close to my range fit ship.

Turn your hud off and just eyeball it. Targeting the smaller ships and drones can be tricky tricky, but for me its really the only challenge left in the game...

Hows my posting? Call 1-800-747-7633 to leave feedback.

Here's your answer. (thanks, E-UNI)

I don't get it, why would you want to see ugly spaceships when you could have sexy spreadsheets?

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh
