Undo Sell All

I know I'm not the only one who's done this... at least I hope not. I go to "Unload All" of my newly acquired Neut III's and Hive Fast Charge Batteries from a skirmish and I accidentally click "Sell All" instead. I spend the next five minutes swearing at my mouse, and hand, and fingers.

It would be nice if there was an undo sell or a confirm sell button to prevent that from happening.

A 'confirm' dialogue box sounds like a good idea. An 'undo' function does not.

Having "Sell All" be in big unfriendly RED letters might help (unless it already is...). Something to help further differentiate.

But to stick to the topic, an absolute N.O. to the undo sell all. Just think of the exploits.

I agree with Restayvien. Confirm dialogues have a solid history in VO. Undo is not worth discussing.

All sales are final.....

Sell all dialog sounds like a solid plan. Shouldn't take long to code.

Well other MMOs usually have a "buy back" option with a 50% increase in price that becomes unavailable [in VO terms] after you undock. I don't see how something like that would hurt.

A dialog box would be nice, but only if i can turn it off.

Bump.

+1 to confirm dialog.

Confirmation would be nice, with a hotkey so that you may double tap sell to quickly do it, or make it an option, like the Set Home option.

lol tarenty. what'd you sell accidentally to go and bump this?

confirm dialog might be nice though.

Make a confirmation dialog with an opt-out checkbox.

May 10, 2010 Aticephyr link
heh. you bumped a 6 month old thread mate. figured you must have been pissed about accidentally selling something to go and do that :p.

No. & No.

I do not want another step involved in concluding a transaction. If I fuck up, I fuck up.

How about a plugin instead? Adds a confirmation dialog to the Sell All button on the welcome screen.

SellAllConfirm.zip

EDIT: Obsolete with VO 1.8.131 -- Feature is now built-in to the game

Nice meridian. When I have time I might post another version which only asks for confirmation when what you're selling will give you 0c (aka, you're accidentally selling laws or hive posis).
