Fdev. Can we PLEASE move the needed Commodities list to the Missions tab?

[HunterwithGreenScales]

Like the title says. Its extremely tedious to have to constantly bounce back and forth between galaxy-system maps just to see what we need in total, and EVEN more so just to see what we have left to acquire! Just move the list into the Missions tab on the left panel, with the list showing how much exactly what you have left to acquire. Also, apparently the colonization mission disappears after logging off then back in again, regardless if you've collected all of the commodities.

I support this request.

Use galmap sysmap to see the requirements. If you have 10 systems. It will be very difficult to keep track when in the mission tab

Using the galmap is not a good solution as it requires several screen switches.

Alternatively:

Give us some way to get a list of materials that we can cut and past into a document elsewhere at least.

 

[Jaffz]

Agree with this

Also plz highlight required commodities in blue in the market like you get with fetch missions

I agree, referring to the Galmap for a reminder is rather clunky. Having the information available in the mission panel would be a lot more handy.

As said. This is slow and tedious. Plus doesn't show us how much we have left. Only the full list of commodities for the whole project, which goes without saying, is unhelpful.

Should have typed sysmap. sorry

Sysmap shows only what you have left

As each commodity requirement is fulfilled, it disappears from the list, so it shortens over time.

Would still be nice to have a 'live' list somewhere to refer to, I agree.

However this is addressed, there ought to be a quicker and more convenient means to quickly see what commodities and what amounts are required when in another system or docked at a station elsewhere etc.
Due to how galaxy map filters work, it can be even more frustrating to find the system in question is not even selectable, adding another step to just finding out what to prioritise on purchasing.

 

[Zimous]

When we take a transport mission and we are at a specific market it will show the items we need for the mission in blue, and says how many you need. This should happen to colinization as well.

I'm actually wondering now how it was even possible at a software engineering level to implement this as a mission (it appears in the mission panel and clearly uses the mission-related codepaths to pop itself onto the map) without also having it show up as part of the standard mission mechanic on the trade screens.

If you're on Windows 11 use the snipping tool.

1. Win + Shift + S to take a screenshot
2. Open the screenshot in the snipping tool from the popup
3. Press the Text Actions button and then "Copy All Text" (Not sure if this is available in win 10)

4. Paste into a document

If the screenshot is too small the text may not scan

It is not.

It is not.

It is for me:

Either way, what a nightmare.

 

[Arioch]

I’m with Kaocraft on this one:

Devs, ask youself how you would expect us to track and remember how much of which commodity we need to get as we go about our shopping and hauling for the mega ship. If any part of that workflow is "write it down on paper or a spreadsheet" - this is your cue to update the UX and provide the information in the appropriate place.

 

[IstvaanDCIV]

My bad, thought it was just the Snipper tool in general.

 

[S0rkvild]

YES.

For now I'm using pen and paper
