Small Suggestion: Comparing Ships in the "Buy" Pane

Feb 11, 2009 oddjobbob link
Sorry if I am duplicating. I did search using "Buy Ship" and "Compare Ships."

Being very new I spend a lot of time looking at the buy ships and buy addons pane when I'm in a station. It would be nice if when I click on another ship the lis below the ship/addon list, thats the list of specifications for the ship/addon, stayed in the same location as it was for the ship I was just looking at. This way I can compare certain specs without having to drag the slider down to where it was before.

My 51-yo brain, with its 67 IQ has a hard time remembers more than one or two specs and when I have to drag that slider the specs from the previous ship just goes away.

Players with more time in-game no doubt have no need for this as you likely have the lists memorized. But newguys like me, and especially old-newguys like me want to see the differences between a Warthog and the Warthog with Mining Options.

Just a thought.

Aloha,

Check out this site...

In the ships section it has all the stats of the ships. Little easier than trying to do it in game.

Whole station interface is missing lots of stuff like that.

Good thing we have system notes, and commas in our prices.

Aloha bull350,
Thank you for that link. Very helpful.

I didn't know about the wiki. I'm that new guy who's chatted with you in another thread. Between the messageboard and the wiki there is so much information to figure out it is hard to spend a lot of time in the game.

Thanks again.

Aloha,
