    I would really appreciate if the game UI showed more information about units both before and after production. This may sound useless to pro players, but I really miss data such as:
    - units' energy cost (and cost per sec), build time
    - damage, speed, health, range, etc
    Now when you select a unit you only see an icon with the number of units selected.
    As I show in the picture (with my astonishing PAINT abilities :p), it would be a very easy change to implement, but i think it would make interface more newbie-friendly.
    And you could make it a toggle option, for people who dont like stats!

    or the build queue?

    which I've explained time and time again why placing it on top of and combining it with the build bar will never work or be enough.

    the UI needs work.

    Units don't really have an energy cost like they did in previous games. You can make something for less total energy by just using a more efficient fabber. One interesting side effect is that if factories are more efficient than fabbers, you can speed up production by assisting but you end up spending more total energy.

    Funny you should mention that.

    The latest Playtest shoes some updated UI that includes some of that info. :)
