Multi-Hop In-System course plotting

Sep 19, 2004 thginkrej link
I'm guessing it's in the works, but I thought I'd voice that being able to plot courses around storms would be a good feature. It would complicate the nav screen though. E.g. "Add waypoint", "Remove waypoint", "Clear course" buttons..

You wouldn't need any extra buttons...

Adding a waypoint could be done by shift-clicking a sector, removing a waypoint could be done by shift-clicking an existing one. You could clear the course by just regular clicking anywhere like it works now.

I was discussing this topic with Ray a few weeks ago and as you pointed out "it's in the works".

Hot damn, it's like having a dev that has time to tell us stuff! We love you!

...in a strictly platonic sense, Ray...

I don't like storms.
I don't like Odia's storm patterns.
I like the idea of being able to go around.
How about there be a flicker on the nav window that shows where a storm is?

There may be a device you purchase that will show you where storms are within an area around your current sector.

In the final, or on Friday?
Sep 23, 2004 raybondo link
I said may be. We have nothing planned for right now.

So not Friday? Stop slacking! ;)
