[Feedback][Sugesstion] What do you think about the information window on the main screen?

Remove the information window?

Hello

Maybe this has been talked about before. I didn't see any resent discussion.

I have given some thoughts into the information-window on the main screen. The one below the minimap. I don't now really, I think that the information provided there is not information that I use on a turn to turn basis and it therefore is just cluttering up the main screen. The information is either to scarce to be useful och simply not something that I need to know all the time.

For example:
 - Planetary income: Maybe useful when one doesn't have that many planets. But once the I pass like 10 planets it really doesn't provide any overview. So if my empire has economic problems I would much rather use an economic window (which I assume will be introduced in later betas) which will provide more structured and detailed information.

 - Planetary approval. Same as for economic. Don't need to see it every turn, and if I need to see it I need more structured and detailed information.

 - Once I pass a certain number of planets I don't even use it to navigate since I now a planets by its location (and I hence use the minimap) rather than its name.

To sum it all up: I think that information-window clutters the main screen and it doesn't provide information in a way that motivates it to have it there all the time.

What do you think?

Sincerely
Nemo

I agree that the info is not critical. It would be nice to be able to minimize it when not using it. Also, since there is an upcoming feature for urgent notices, just let it flash in minimized mode when something needs your attention, like the Drengin are invading or your approval has fallen to 31% on XYZ planet.

It would be nice to be able to minimize. I would say production and research should be displayed as well. Also it would be nice if you could sort the plants by the different info provide there, such as size, income ect..
