Finally found some time to sit down and at least run the first few minutes of a fresh XWAU install.
The new artwork is stunning. Ace's room actually looks like the YT-1300's common area, Emkay's new design is great and kinda reminds me of something you'd see in the Dark Forces 2 cutscenes. There's a couple of issues I have with some of the UI elements, though. The briefing icons are far too flat-looking and are kind of difficult to look at. The detailed view hitches for a second or so as the ship loads in. This happens every time the page plays. (With a 5600X and a 3070 I have to think there's something else going on here.) The more detailed the ship is, the longer the pause. I didn't have this issue with the previous release... at least not after the first time. It's almost like the models aren't getting cached properly. The wireframe also fails to load and the scan effect looks like it's behind the ship, not over it as before.
Also, slight bug, but on the email/stats monitor screen there's at least one spot where there's a triangle grid. Little nitpicky but I saw it straight away.

You can't resize the HUD in flight.
You can bring it closer or further away and move it up and down.

The best options to play at I find are 1920x1080. Even with a 4k screen.
Otherwise things are too small.
Chief XWAU Team annoying nitpicker.
