In Sector Travel

Jun 26, 2004 jimce3k link
Is it possible to have the ability to just hit the enter key to jump while in the main window instead of having to do it throught the Nav screen? I mean you an use the wormholes that way and I fail to understand why it can't be done the same way for intersector travel too. After all you do is watch till your 3000 meters away and hit enter to jump. Just an idea :-)

One problem I could see is how the game is supposed to know what kind of travel you want to do if your in a gate that is 3k away from any large object. AFAIK gates don't count as large objects .. correct me if i'm wrong :P

otherwise i like the idea :D ... maybe make the in-sector-jump-key different from the sector-jump-key :P

between sector wormholes counts as big objects (althought it's kinda wierd: only the center of WH count as big object, so you can be 2k from wh and 2.5 from any big object)

oh your right ... a few times I came out of gates and was more than 3k from large objects away ... hmm .. the exit point can probably be now farther away from the gate than before :)

Yes. I would really like a "plot course" key, i constantly find myself staring at the nav map waiting to hit the button.
as for it being the same key as the system wormholes i never thought about it, but i guess it could work, and would save me mapping an extra command to my joystick :D
