What teensy tiny things would you like to see changed in ED?

[aardappelianen]

the abilitity to filter debris out of the radar globe

oh and the ability to jettison fuel and set a cap on your fueltank so you can take an extra or oversized fueltank but only scoop what you need for the next jump if you are plottin through scoopable sectors and you want to keep you jumprange high

I wish it were possible to supercruise between systems too. Just because it makes no sense that you can't. For permit systems, could just force the ship out of supercruise at the edge of the system (if player doesn't have the permit).

It makes sense with memory resource, to be able to super cruise seamlessly from one system to another would require the assets of those systems to be loaded in, not gonna happen with trillions of systems, it's why we have jump drive, it's a loading screen, it unloads the system you're leaving while loading in the destination system.

The magic number is 6.

7 was the magic typo.
But you got the point regardless, I guess

 

[Non Grata]

The return of UI Focus headlook autotoggle (as an option if need be).

No reason for the loading/unloading of system not to be done while you're in SC. It's likely to take time to reach new system, so performance should not be an issue.

A slightly smaller throttle increment for the mouse wheel.

At the moment your choices are way too small, or just slightly too big, makes it really hard to 'ride the 0:08' in supercruise.

 

[Bdragon4]

A tiny change I'd like to see?
Decent Missions.

 

[Manshonyagger]

And please, please, a key to get to a specific tab on a UI panel. I really, really want to use Voice Attack to request docking permission...

 

[Skizomeuh]

A way to cycle through canisters and materials targets like we can with ships.

 

[Skizomeuh]

oh and the ability to jettison fuel

I like that: how many times I encountered NPCs out of fuel I couldn't help...

I play using VR.

When jumping, there is a message on the right of the info displays giving the star type that you are about to jump to, so I use that to see whether I can refuel at that star.

The trouble is that
1) You have to look right to read it and then look back to centre for the jump.
2) Often the message fades before I get around to reading it.

The teensy-weensy change I would like would be to have the star type displayed along with the system name at the top of the central jump display that is shown when the drive is charging. Currently it shows the destination system name and checks your wanted status at the destination system. Just adding the star type after the system name would make my neck a little bit happier!

Yes, this please, it would help generally. That message fades out pretty quick and if you are distracted by something you can miss it. Might as well put the faction state in there while you're at it (since it is also in that notification text)...

 

[Watcher]

How about a new menu option off systems in the navigation pane that will take you to their system view (if available), that would be nice.
I'd love the same off the missions details actually but that might be more awkward.

 

[Beylix]

Complete 100% rework of the UI both ship interface and cartographics with a unified, colour changeable theme... oh wait small things... errrrrm

 

[Skizomeuh]

A simple *ting* sound when a message/email arrives.

 

[uliando]

Rear view mirrors. Have any of those FDEV ever drove a truck?
Also stop rotating us before launch on planets and outpost omg it's absolutely pointless!
Windows polishers and cleaners.

I'm a real casual player, but two things I'd like to see:

A 'list view' of a calculated route, like when you plot a route from system A to Z via the rest of the alphabet, give me a tab with a little breakdown so I can see 'jump to B, jump to C ... jump to L (last scoopbable star here) ... jump to Y. (kind of like how google maps gives you a breakdown of directions once you've planned a route)

Binding fire groups to hotkeys: just give me an option to bind a firegroup to a hotkey, I get that you can have arbitrarily many fire groups so it's tricky to implement, but it would be nice. Mainly because I want a simple(r) way of setting up my VA to switch to weapons/scanners/etc on a single command

Great idea

Oh - I'd like a button that I can use to wear and remove my helmet. This is mostly for videos and such, but i think it'd be neat to press a button to put your helmet on, or take it off at any time in the cockpit.

 

[Enderby]

The game development team.

 

[ShimEnki]

A new dev team?

That would be the teensy tiny thing compared to what the new team would have before them to correct.

And then to establish a thriving, fun, player oriented gameplay culture with modern gameplay features.

Imagine reading this is PC gamer, FD welcomes a new Dev team for their ED division.

The influx of old players and new would be astounding.
