So i had a bit of a creative energy spike today while bored and oops i mocked up a possible ui lmao
it's got some obvious flaws (button sizes when needing space for 15 planets plus asteroids, which I'm sure could be fixed with some thought - on my 720p phone screen it seems like it'd work alright, and i haven't seen any smaller on the market) and might not be the sort of direction you planned on taking things, but hey, i might as well post it for the sake of inspiration. Feel free to yoink this design or aspects of it (it's literally just "hmm hexagons are cool what if it was all hexagon-y") if any aspects of it inspire solutions to the currect ui challenges you're facing :D
