I started doing a little generic play-testing on a requested "Command Hub" for Spiral Knights. It would be a simple website with a bunch of widgets that you could organize and reposition on the page. You could remove or add relevant widgets to your liking. The site would require a game log-in.

The reason to use the "Command Hub" is so that you don't have to log in to see all this stuff. It would just be right there on a non-CPU taxing site that you could customize. Also, some stuff that might be possible on the "Command Hub" isn't always possible in-game (for example, the gear and accessories builder [see below]).

My question is, for all comprehensive purposes, what widgets would you want to see available on the "Command Hub"?

So far, I have gotten requests for and come up with the following:
• CE and mist energy levels (your personal)
• Simplified (or not) Auction House tracker
• Arsenal viewer (your cache of gear, not the podcast)
• Arsenal Podcast tracker (episode listing and download)
• Pricing guide (general crown, CE, and real world $ value of items)
• Updates list (game announcements)
• Gear and accessories builder (wardrobe-type widget where you could "dress" a knight with combinations of gear and accessories to find the perfect look)
• Lockdown tracker (list standings)
• Clockworks gate tracker (which levels in which gates)
• Recipe library (all recipes listed)
• Friends and guild list tracker (listing of online and offline friends and guildmates)

Is there anything else you'd like to see?

PS - [i]Yes,[/i] I realize that such a website is not possible without consent and even help from OOO. This is just conceptual work at this point, and I'm hoping that something like this might be possible sometime in the distant future.
