+ UI work continues

+ Sidebar further redesigned and simplified to better utilize available space. Tabs reduced to 5. (see pic)

+ More complex tabs were moved to a new ledger menu.

+ The ledger menu will be larger and expandable in future.

+ Sidebar will auto-select a tab depending on what type of unit or units the player has selected.

+ Sidebar Select tab's unit icon size doubled, since there's more space now.

+ The game lobby menu was tweaked so that the default faction and map position values wouldn't cause a crash.

+ Added the ability for the game to desaturate images, used for icons in the menus.

+ Units and structures not yet unlocked are displayed in the build menu, but in a separate greyed out section underneath the buildable ones.

+ Replaced minimap zoom buttons with buttons to access the ledger and options menus.

+ Drivers can now be ordered out of their vehicles from the crew menu. (see vid)
