New HUD

The design team has been working on upgrading the look of the main interface, which is now unified with the other panels, as long as a couple of new or changed features. That includes:

A new tooltip design, restyled and its width constrained for readability.
The focus movement button on the fleets items now takes the player to the fleet location on the map without entering the focus mode.
Players can now add, view, replace or remove cards on fleets directly from the HUD.
Commodities HUD display and Fleet Arrival times are now hidden by default, you can toggle them on in the Game Settings.

Solar Flare resource pool reduced to 10k-20k from 25k-40k.
Mining Colony radius of influence increased to 2 from 1.
Refinery buildings’ income increased to 700 from 500.
Plasma Chamber speed bonus decreased to 3 from 5.

Changed
