Space Station Tycoon Dev Diary #4 - UI Overhaul and Big Ships!
UI design has always been one of our weaknesses. That's why we are working really hard to create a much more pleasant UI experience for our players. We started things off with a simple HUD redesign.
As you can see, we have managed to decrease the number of icons on the upper part. This improvement allowed us to add some text next to each icon. So you'll no longer have to hover on them to see where it leads.
The missing buttons were moved to the overview section. This is mostly because of the fact that all of these tabs have something to do with your station and how you manage it. We think that they fit nicely in this brand new overview panel. We would love to hear your feedback on this.
Most of the old UI windows, like the finance tab, are also being reworked. Our current focus with this new UI direction is to make use of the empty space we have in order to offer a much better user experience.
Aren't you bored of always seeing same-sized ships? Yeah, we are too. Here's a look at the big ships of Space Station Tycoon!
These new ships have way more visitors in them. But as you can probably imagine, they are just too big to be able to dock on your basic docking bays. This is where our new building comes in: The large docking bay!
With this new docking building, these huge ships will be able to dock onto your station without any problems.
Thank you so much for reading this quick update. We are constantly trying our best to improve the game as much as possible and to leave early-access as quickly as possible. Your feedback helps us a lot so don't forget to join our Discord and share your opinions with us! Stay healthy.

The year is 3000, humanity is all over the galaxy and the economy is booming. It is time to take action by building your very own space station in a star system far, far away. Building and managing a space station in a distant star system isn’t an easy task to achieve, that’s why you should do your best to attract customers and get them to spend money.
There are lots of wandering pilots across the whole galaxy looking for a space station. Each has their reasons, be it to repair and refuel their ships or maybe just to relax and have some fun. Even though what they each look for in a space station is very different, there is one thing they have in common; they want to spend some money. In Space Station Tycoon you will expand your station by building lots of different stuff like docking bays, research facilities and even casinos to attract every kind of customer you can.
Space Station Tycoon is inspired by its greatest ancestors of the “tycoon” genre. That’s why our main focus while making this game is always going to be its depth. We want the player to be able to control everything necessary from small things like fuel prices to intergalactic marketing budgets. With the depth it offers, Space Station Tycoon will surely deliver a true “tycoon” experience.
