Inventory list

Dec 16, 2021 IronLord link
Currently. On some mobile devices (mine) you can't actually double tap anymore to expand a systems list of items you have, when you try, the first tap selects it and the second tap just moves the screen up or down. I never had this problem before on my old phone, but since I changed to a very new phone (Samsung s20 galaxy) I've had this issue and this is incredibly hindering when trying to find what ships and rare drops you have in random places, or if your a noob it could be hard to actually find ships you had just used, as sometimes you need different ships for some of the beginner messages.

Suggestion: instead of double tap you can just select a system in the inventory screen to expand a list, by tapping once. Or a "press and hold" sort of button would also work. And depending on how many other devices there are with this problem, this could potentially help alot of future players who are frustrated with the need to "double tap" when they cannot.

Counter-argument: this could mean you'd have to potentially redo how the menu works, since as far as I know the only "press and hold" buttons in VO are when your plotting multiple different in system sector jumps. If it would mean a rebuild, Id see this as being more of a waste of energy and bad usage of time compared to other subjects that are being worked on.
