New UI and HUD suggestions

Why so many sparrows and unicorns Dave? I imagine they have been stripped for parts in which case they are useless clutter. I would recommend putting them on the GM under your own name for 1bil each that way you'll never have to see them again(nor will anyone else for that matter, I hate that the GM is overflowing with stripped 1c ships) unless you search that price range. That is what i do with my stripped ships anyway.

I'm not saying Nick doesn't need to add a scroll just that you can clear most of that clutter.

What we really need is a way to recycle or at least just destroy ships.

Jam asked me to put this here for Nick to see via IRC.
the ships are there for a reason.

i place stripped ships at 0

the default is 1 c or over so the 0 never shows

recycling would be nice

at one point someone was collecting junk ships on a junk account.. does that still happen?

Yes, List all junk ships for 1cr and designate "Trash"

The disappear and problem solved.

Wulf, I see your 0cr listed ships when I search for ships for 0. Best to designate trash and they are removed from the game totally.

Having a Trash checkbox might be nice at the Designate location. This would let everyone know they can list for trash, since this IS the UI suggestions.

fantastic i will do that sorry was placing at 0 and calling them dead ;p

ALSO in my early time i though u could make low level ships so i have a bunch of unused hulls at osb's if we are looking at a ui/feature would be nice to melt those down as well ( or send them off into space like and old viking longboat, then set on fire as they go blasting to a planet )

Ah, yet another undocumented feature.

Apologies.

I'm fairly certain that what I'm going to post here is nothing new, but as I couldn't find it with a fast search - here I go once more.

I did a clean up on colonies and OSB's (moving sewage, food stocks, ore's, and items off to market) and I found a few things to be a real pain in the posterior.

1 the text blocks from OSB and colonies (the manage, plan building, ... boxes) are always on top of the Autopilot. it makes it hard to know what or where you are selecting.

2 for the custom filter, could I request an option for owned colonies/OSB's? if I wanted to see only MY colonies/OSB's, having a filter option that would save me from having to wade through lists of other peoples colonies and OSB's would be great. (I think I'm going to have to create a new acronym - OPCO, or other peoples colonies and/or OSB's. I've never created a acronym before)

3 the 'custom' filter is great, but would like to have 'custom 2' and 'custom 3'. when I'm moving between colonies/OSB and then gateing to another area, I could change filters instead of re configuring the filter each time I need to do something different. I would suggest the drop down for configuring the filters but radio boxes to change filters

These are the top three suggestions I have. Please feel free to ignore me, my cat does.

It has been a week and we have had little insight into the updates and additions. Really curious what has been addressed and what has not.

One thing I would like to add is in the new UI, it is often hard to find the gates listed in the Autopilot in very populated lists. I think if the colonies/OSB were in a separate column from the planets and gates, this would work much better, yet add one more column.

Can't wait to see the current updates.

Agreed rmartz. I really liked the separate UI in 3.169 for our own cols/osb's. Please could we have this back? We seem to have gained something shinny and pretty but lost some essential user friendly stuff. Also It seems to be impossible to filter planned gates. Only finished gates show in the filter. Filling gate materials just became a dull mechanic as is.

Doing hauling runs to planned gates in the 1.40013 version takes longer now in part due to the Overview screen loading when arriving at the OSB. I now have to click on 'Warehouse' before I can load my materials. The sequence of events are now:

1. Arrive at OSB - Overview screen loads


2. Click on 'Warehouse'


3. Load materials


4. Go to Autopilot and find the Planned Gate to


5. Offload materials at gate. At this time the gate materials do not auto refresh when delivering a load. A bug has been filed. Screenshot shows before/after delivery amount.



6. Return to OSB and begin again.

Previously, the warehouse would autoload if you didn't close it prior to leaving to make the delivery saving time and steps.
