[Station Interface] Add/Move vehicle addons tab

Oct 14, 2006 Apex link
Comming back to the game from being out of the loop for many months, I found myself stumbling a little bit with the new station interface. Overall I think its theme looks good, although there's just too much information on the screen at any given menu.

to the point.

I had to ask in 100 how I can buy addons for my ship because I didn't know where to look. Intuitively, I would look to buy addons in the same place that I would buy junk from the station I'm in, so I kept looking for it where the station commodities are. without prior knowledge, It would have taken me quite a while to figure to go to ship - configure - upgrade - small/large/other.

I think that way because when you purchase an addon, it doesn't necessarily get installed on your ship upon purchase, it goes to your station inventory, like commodities would if you hadn't the cargo space to load them. You install these later when you configure your ship addons using your station inventory as your pile of junk to choose from.

to sum it up, I really think you guys should add an "addons" tab in the same place that station commodities are, that way you consolidate all purchasable items into one menu, rather than splitting things up.

Don't remove the addons tab where it is now, it's not a bad thing to have all things related to ship components/configurations in one menu as well.
