We're looking at trying to make some improvements to the Frozen Synapse UI in FS2.
This is a difficult topic: Frozen Synapse is a very complex game; some elements of UI design are subjective; making changes to our UI is difficult and time consuming.
So, please don't take it as a negative if we don't manage to incorporate your feedback.
I'd like to know what you find difficult to do in the game, both in-game and in the menus, what you find fiddly especially. Feel free to post anything you want, but in general flagging up problems is a lot more useful to us than suggesting solutions.
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
If you wanted to me AMAZINGLY helpful, a video demonstrating your problems would be great but any notes or comments are more than welcome.

Fixing Distraction - thoughts wanted!
Ian is testing (in Frozen Synapse 2) a fix for a particular technique which was a borderline exploit in Frozen Synapse 1. We'd love your feedback - please read his post here - http://www.mode7games.com/blog/2016/06/06/neutralising-the-distraction-play/ but post your responses here on the Steam Community in the comments - many thanks!

As you've probably seen, we're working on a sequel to Frozen Synapse.
I'd appreciate any feedback you have for us about what you would like to see in the follow-up. As ever, I can't guarantee that we'll be able to incorporate your suggestions but it would be great to know what you're thinking.
Cheers,
