Better to display things bigger, but display only stuff that is important, and put other stuff in menus.

I was going to say it shouldn't be too hard to implement a full and simple GUI system. Full would display said graphic, while simple would display minimalistic bars and such, something that won't take up much screen space.

Agreed. Perhaps add a check so that if the player's resolution is below a certain amount a scaled-down version of the gui is used? I'm sure scaling it down and using different images for those wouldn't be too bad to do?

The new gui actually looks good in action, need to remove the old gui somehow and make a new radar image

Elk is working on a template for a completely new GUI (the entire HUD...including the radar), from the prototype it looks like it could possibly be one of the best ever made on Graal so have to wait on him for it.

As with progress, I just finished the iricia base spawning system on debug so soon you will have the ability to choose what base to spawn on in Iricia (as long as your team owns the base), just have to wait until it's released on the main server.

Shields

Your health is going to be converted to a shield-type system where you still see your health in the top-right GUI, but now there will be a new GUI (the shield GUI) at the top-center of your screen that will work solely as an indicator. Basically, when you take damage, your new shield GUI will decrease in accordance to your health, and if your health reaches a critical point, it will begin to blink to let you know that your shields are low.
