Add more double-clickable areas

Apr 01, 2006 sarahanne link
When I'm in the station I would like to use double click more.

For example I'd like to select the weapons port, then double click on the weapon and have it installed.

I see that if you double click on the missions they activate so you can add that function.

I would also like to have an auto-reload weapons option when I dock at stations.

If you want to write down all the areas you'd like to have double-clickable, and put them here, that'd be helpful. Ray and I are going to do some more work on the interface next week, I think.

I had a morning conference with Ray regarding my suggestions. I was just wondering what other suggestions players may have.

However I'll start listing them.

1) Double click on player to start game (no need to press P or move to Play button)
2) Double click on equipment in port to unequip, select weapon and double click on port to equip.
3) I'd like to click on the ship list in the buy menu and then use the arrow keys to navigate up and down the choices.
4) Click on weapon in the equip ship list and see the stats without having to equip the item in a port.
5) I would continue the help balloons that show up when you let the cursor rest on a button.

Double click to unload cargo from the ship (double-click 1 item to unload all of that item)

Double click to reload ammo

I would like to color code news items by type:
Bounties
Trade Reports
RP Mews
Live Events

Just make the background of the titles shaded different colors.

I would then add the ability to filter the news for just the topis I want to read. i.e. I never read the bounties so I would prefer not to have to scan through them to find the trade reports.

Also in regards to the news items, at the very least have them appear in a tabular format, instead of the current wonky mess:

Saturday, 10th March: A message.
Friday, 9th March: Another message.
Thursday, 8th March: Yet another message.

"Double click to reload ammo"

I would much rather see a "reload ammo" button on the main section of the station UI near the "Launch" button - so much easier to just reload and go.
