10% refuel buried 3 clicks - why?

[Para Handy]

The new services screen requires one to go three clicks deep to add just 10% of fuel. Doesn't anyone else keep fuel load to a reduced level? Is it just a hangover from aviation that I don't like lugging excess fuel about with me (only reduces jump range in E D)?

Please stick 10% refuel back on the front and not buried......

(pretty please)

P.S. Can we also have a reduce fuel by 10% button, you can bury that one in the fuel store.

Does anyone only refuel 10% and why would you want to? Just fully refuel, which you can do right there on the services home screen. Don't tell me you can't afford to fully refuel.

Partial refuels are lovely in a T9 to maximize jump range while ferrying cargo.

I'm guessing - if ED work their menus like my old company did its website - that if a button on the front page shows as being used a lot less than one on another page, priorities are shifted.

I don't think many use it. I only do when being pedantic and going into Rez and CZ sites in combat ships.

To OP your the only one that uses it

As I intimated, I appreciate it is probably a hangover / habit from aviation where you REALLY don't want to carry excess fuel.

In E D it of course is only actually "important" to me when I am doing cargo hops, say in CGs for example, where I might find a fuel load that makes a two-hop journey be a single-jump one.

It has **** all to do with affording fuel or even of saving fuel costs since the fuel usage for that single jump is obviously a lot more than the two-hop journey it replaces.

You have been around here long enough to know all of this.

I do that sometimes with my Courier - every tonne counts, sometimes it's a difference of 30 to 37Ly

And you have been around here long enough to know that some people think that their way is the only way to play the game.

OK OK, I'm sorry, please put the herring and banana skins away, not again!
You're absolutely right, 3 clicks is not nearly enough ... it should be 300 clicks

No i use it as well, having less fuel in tanks is also useful for reducing weight in combat zones. I imagine more casual players would not bother

 

[Cornelius lucius]

The 10% fuel rebuy is on the same screen it always was, it's just over on the upper right now.

 

[Leo Sagan]

Can't remember the last time I used that button tbh.

 

[Troutman]

I don't understand the difficulty in clicking 3 times? Is that 3-4 seconds of your time not worth the effort? Are you not being a bit nit-picky?

I'm not trying to berate you or slam you with negativity. But it's not that big of a deal.. if you can sit down for 2-3+ hour sessions of this fantastic game, can you not take 3 seconds of that session to click 3 times? Come on..

 

[Mazuo]

I don't find it difficult. I do find it an odd UI decision when you could simply have a preset slider to fill to X%. Press once, you're refueled to that level and on your way.

[alien]

Agreed! I use the 10% often, especially when carrying a tank.

 

[Frank]

I guess the reason that button never got pressed very often is because you are in quite a small subset. People who don't just top up their tanks, and people who don't carefully judge the amount of fuel they scoop.

No it isn't - that is refuel ALL - the 10% option is buried down in the "fuel store" of "advanced maintenance".

Yeah it is being picky, it is not a big deal at all. I just find it annoying but will soon get used to it - well, have got used to it.

It is not surprising though that they do have a direct link to "Livery" (which takes you straight to that option in outfitting) - since that is where you can get "stimulated" into making in-game-purchases. (More power to their elbow I say.)

[alien]

Yeah, a little annoying that they moved it. I'm assuming those that don't use the 10% button either don't fly large ships or don't care about optimizing jump range on cargo/pax runs. My heavy ships carry between 64 & 128 tonnes of fuel fully loaded.

Not a huge deal on the grand scheme of things, but most defintely the opposite of a Qol feature. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it..

There was quite a few lengthy topics over on the Beta forum - Here's one of them. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/291432-FUEL-10-please-1-click-to-3-clicks

While it may be a good thing for combat pilots or those seeking to make an extra 100cr on there 1 million credit profit cargo run but when your out exploring it makes no sense at all to have such a small amount of fuel unless your faced with a long jump.

Nothing casual about being stranded 10,000 LY from home all because you only fill up in drips.

 

[Lowievisser]

Would be cool if you can dump feul like airplanes sometimes do
