Abandoning missions

... on accident when you bring up the panel to remind yourself how many oc X or Y you were meant to go get. Be at the station, want to remind myself if it was 28 gallite or 38. Oh, dang. It just turned red!? WHat did I... oh. I got spacebar happy and abandoned it. >_<

There really needs to be an "Are you sure?" thing, or maybe move the 'Abandon' button somewhere less easier to get to 'on accident.' Agh. I've done this five or six times now.

I've miss clicked abandoned a few times as well, I've actually just started writing down a shopping list so that I don't have to check my transaction log and risk ditching the quest I am trying to accomplish......

I'd prefer if it had a safeguard. I'm used to every app that I've ever used having EXIT on the bottom of the menu, so I automatically scroll to the bottom to exit. If it was left and right like the buying tab on the commodities screen but with the cancel as a default, it would be far better, hitting the down button goes immediately to cancel which just exits.

Alternatively, being able to recover it after you've abandoned it. It's still there in red until you exit the screen, why not have a recover option? That would probably be even better.

I was thinking along similar lines! I just wasn't sure how to put it into words, so thank you for that bit! lol.

And yeah, a 'grace period' was another thought. When I first did it I was sorta expecting something like that, when it turned red. "Oh, maybe I can just re-accept it or something." Alas, no ...

This wouldn't perturb me so much if every accidentally abandoned mission wasn't a punch in the face of my rep!
