UI Improvements

Today I implemented a few user interface updates that have been on my list for a while.
  • When you are in the process of deploying or moving a unit, there is now an arrow indicator showing which direction your craft will face. This removes any potential confusion about which side of a craft is the front.
  • When you are in the process of performing an action, the box reading “please select a target (cancel)” is now tucked away at the top of the screen. This box would occasionally obstruct players' choice of targets.
  • Ticks are no longer printed to the chat console, as these notices often pushed more important information off the screen.
I have also updated the generator craft, which now gives a bonus +3 energy per tick when placed on a colored energy tile (for example +3 blue per tick when placed on a blue tile). This should give players more reason to fight for control of the map when using the introductory pre-built detachments.

More soon!
