2 little GUI suggestions

1. SKILL PAGE

I would love to be able to name them, so I could quickly realize which one I need to switch to. Example: as a crafter I have skill pages specializing in different areas (different sets of epics) and sometime I don’t remember which is which. As a hunter I have a tank skill page (protection epic) and a glass canon skill page (damage epic) - would be handy to be able to call them that in the GUI screen. As a miner I have the hammer specialist and the axe/shovel specialist and also planning on a skill page for low tier worlds (no atmospheric protection or armor or shadow epic - instead mobility and quickness etc.) - and again, if I could name the skill pages, I would know quicker which one I want to activate.

So, there it is - the GUI screen I mean:

2. SETTLEMENT BEACON LIST:

Could be a handy improvement, if we could click on any beacon on the list to set it as destination (just like in the shop scanner, where list of sellers and buyers in Knowledge screen allows you to set the wanted beacon as destination and get direction that way.
This screen in GUI - the list of settlemet’s beacons:

Naming the skill pages would be nice, I think icons would be easier to use though. Once you have 5 skill pages you really don’t have more space in the UI than 3 or 4 text characters but a simple hammer/axe/crafting table/shopstand/whatever could help us pick quickly.

being able to click and find a build in a settlement could be nice. like in really big cities, you see a beacon is labeled “portal hub” so you want to travel there, but with it being so far away, and personal portals in people’s build make it harder to find the hub with just the compass.

Two solutions:

  1. Icon, as you said, or a number just like now - full name showing upon hovering over icons.
  2. Change in GUI there - full list of named skill pages available from drop down menu.
