All those fleet carrier and arx threads are mere amateurs.
Is this actually the case tho? There are replys in here saying how they tryed to get on with it but its terrible. It was inevitable this would happen aswell becuase the FSS is inherently bad in its design. Its just a case of how much the individual player can put up with that before they just say no more.
There is nothing complex about the FSS - I understand it perfectly well having used it during Beta.
I concede that it may be easier to use the ship to turn, but not that it would be faster than just using the FSS even without knowing which way to pan.
It's a red herring argument anyway - speed of exploration is not a real concern, certainly not to me.
Agreed
We currently have a DS+FSS already
Making it an ADS should be a simple Engineering mod.
All sides could ...
Play it their way
What's wrong with that Mal????
I do understand your point, because that was my intended combined use case for ADS/FSS exploration - and I have a follow-up.
Wouldn't you like to be able to do that in unexplored space?
There is no issue to ignore.
I don't like cilantro. I demand Frontier bring about the immediate extinction of cilantro.
What? They're not doing that? This is an oversight, an outrage.
Not every ship moves the same way and the FSS itself (like much of the UI) performs somewhat differently based on frame rate. Most ships don't turn in SC faster than the FSS can pan though.
Some people may find it difficult to visualize the location of a target they've located on their compass/sensors on the FSS, but I do not, and if I've targeted something, I know where it is and can move my FSS view directly to it, irrespective of where my ship is pointing.
There is a difference. When you are panning it is not obvious where the planet is. Sometimes it can be several layers in when you find it. If you select it in the system map/nav panel and use the compass, it litereally takes seconds to find, open up the FSS which is not tied to the frame rate and zoom. Very easy and much quicker in most cases.
How do you visualise the location of a planet which you have no idea where it is and it is impossible to target because there is nothing in the nav panel or system map to target?

Good. I have always thought everything was overrated.
Ooooh a non sequitur!
Carrots used to be white or purple, before they were bred to be orange.
And a non-relevant - I have nothing against carrots, regardless of their color.
People use to believe tomatoes were poisonous.
The US Federal government declared them to be "Vegetables", despite the botanical science that makes the tomato a fruit - specifically a berry.
The point: Simply calling a personal preference an "issue" does not make it one. It might make it a Personal Issue, but solving our personal issues is not Frontier's business.
Just like cilantro.
If we're going to be pedantic, if something is a personal issue, isn't that a type of "issue"?
Oooh semantics - that's even more fun than non sequiturs.
How about we refer to it as a 'topic' or 'subject' instead?
It doesn't alter the fact that FDev are ignoring it in favor of randomly breaking pieces of the game.
Mine is, at least if I'm using non-mouse axes.
I'm refering to stuff that is already on the system map, either because system data already exists, or as would be the case in the hypotheitical scenario of the ADS ping being reintroduced. The compass reveals the location of any targeted body quite accurately enough to aid FSS use.
I can't imagine how that could be possible!
I never liked the "god honk" because I felt it trivialized much of the exploration process and while I felt the FSS was an overall improvement, it has some major flaws that get more annoying the more I use it.
Strange, I don't have that issue with my Hotas.
Then we are talking about the same thing.
