Select a ship

Jan 26, 2005 KixKizzle link
I have had enough with clicking the mouse 100 times to get from the buss to the prom..... Please make it so that only the ships you have at the station are available in the station select.

lol i second that idea, its really annoying to go though all my ships that are not even at that station to get to the one that i want at that station. Just making it so that only the ships you own at that station would be a load off the brain :P

I suggested tabs for buy ships before, which I meant like there's a tab for ECs, Centurions, vultures etc. But select ship is worse than buy ships. I would love something done to it, and just putting the ships in the station first would work well enough ;)

YES! PLEASE! organize it so that you can easily find the ship you're after.

Also, if I don't want to buy back my original ship, is there a way I could just go directly to the buy screen? an option INSIDE the select ship screen, that would let you switch between them. It's SOO frustrating to die, then decide you don't want the old ship/can't buy the old ship, and have to scroll through the select ship screen till you can find some old hunk 'o junk, which you immediately have to switch out of anyway.

This wouldn't appear to require much, just an extra button.

Why not just have a list of available ships at your location in a little table and a slightly smaller version of the picture?

Can't it rather be sorted "per station" ?

Ie, "current" station is always first, after that ships are sorted per station they are in? That means that you'll never browse more than the few ships you have at hand, but can still look up that obscure little ship from grey space and its statistics

That would be quite a relief. So much time wasted on selecting ship in stations, even when you know exactly what you want!

Absolutely! I would also like the inventory on the character info tab to be able to collapse per item - i.e. by default each ship shown would be collapsed so I would see a summary of what I have and where, and I could expand each one if I wanted to see what was equipped in it.

I believe EVERYONE can agree that this is needed no matter how they sort the ships (station, skipping ship class button) anyway is better than now.

I agree! Something simple that will be easy for the devs, like sorting so current station comes first, or just only show ships at current station.

Drop down menus for searching your inventory would be nice too.

like this:

......Neutron Blaster MkIII
......Neutron Blaster MkIII
......Neutron Blaster MkIII
......Fast Charge Battery
..Centaur MkIII
......Heliocene Mining Beam
......Heliocene Mining Beam

..Neutron Blaster MkII (35) <--- quanitity of item
..Gauss Cannon MkII (12)

[+]Divinia M4

Agree with Spellcast
Jan 30, 2005 Apex link
agree, I just thought about that after I posted, cause I have some systems with like 10 loaded valks.
Jan 31, 2005 softy2 link
I agree with everybody.

Anything but what we have now.

something simple in the interum is much needed. To me it would seem easiest to only show in the station screen that info that is pertinant to that station. Perhaps something linked to the nav map, select a station and a list of items would show up under the station name and faction, that you currently have at that location. kind of like what bots are in a sector.
