    Hi Schine,

    Can we please have the ability to pop out the various components of the GUI?

    This is mainly for people like me who play the game in window mode instead of full screen. Mainly because I have other things running like Firefox, Text Files, or anything else.

    My gaming rig has 3 screens, but is capable of having up to 6 if I could afford it.
    Often I wish I could have the flight or build view centre and all popup windows on the other screens or anywhere that isn't the main view.

    I see multiple screens has been mentioned before.
    Multi window implementation

    Something I would love is to keep the general, faction and any private chat windows open, but on another screen for me to glance over at from time to time to keep up on conversations.

    The fleet controls would also be great away from my main view.

    It's a little bit frustrating when I'm trying to fly and manage fleets or a fleet of drones at the same time.
    Another frustration is trying to hold conversations with people, but missing things due to being focused on building. True, I could always fob them off, but some servers have admins that get upset if you don't respond to their hails.

    The chat is especially annoying.

    If I have a second monitor, but my graphics card is not powerful enough to handle full resolution on both, then I would only run a terminal on the second. A terminal does not even need a graphics card, just a way to connect to your computer and a frame-buffer.

    Schema would do us a great favour if we can use a black/white or green/black screen for text and status messages.
