Auto-completion of system names.

Nov 28, 2007 AndiJF link
I was typing in some navroute waypoints this afternoon, and after the second failed attempt to spell Setalli Shinas correctly, I thought: "Wouldn't it be nice if the command offered auto completion of the system name, in the same way that the chat and messaging systems do with player names".

A modest proposal?

In my opinion, the navigation commands could use a more sophisticated UI, too. But since the current one works, I guess we won't be seeing work on it all too soon.

I think the "Nav Screen" interface is pretty good. It's just that i quite often use the command line, and some of the system names are both long and quite tricky to spell.

You can use the Nav Screen and save your nav route for those pesky systems. Once plugged in, type /navroute save "name".

Later, when you want to use it again, type /navroute load "name".

But, auto-complete of the system names does get my vote of approval for other reasons.

Also, can we get some variables like they have in the Dofus MMORPG? Namely, %xp% to show license levels, %loc% to show your system/sector location, %faction% to show your faction standings for Itani/Serco/UIT, %cred% to show how many credits you have, and so on?
