Disengaging Super Cruise

Scouto · Mar 19, 2016

At the moment the game allows you to enter Super Cruise from the navigation panel when you select a new system / stations / etc but there doesn't seem to be a way to exit from Super Cruise in this fashion, instead we have to use the keyboard command.

Would it be possible to change this so that we can enter AND exit Super Cruise from the panels? I understand it's such a minor thing but for immersion it would be a nice addition.

I think he wants to drop the warp core.

I'd like to be able to disengage from Super Cruise using the panels

Oh that's easy. Rip them out and if you rip enough of them off the ship, I promise, you'll disengage the Super Cruise.

You can. Turn off your thrusters.

This is more of an emergency stop though. We can engage Super Cruise / Hyper Drive from the panel, we should be able to disengage too!

Can you give a more compelling reason than 'immersion' as to why dev time and UI real estate should be wasted on this...?

Reading back on my original post I realise I've worded and explained my request pretty poorly.

This is the panel/function that I'm talking about:

Currently this only appears when you select an entry that is not your local one, another planet/station/system etc. There is never an option however to disengage. What I'd like to do is be able to engage/disengage from here wherever I am in the system. The reason for this is so that I control the FSD without having to take my hand off the stick and keep what I'm doing on the screen so that others watching from a video (trying to make an RP video series) can see whats happening.

Another reason to have it is for VR headset users, since they can't actually see their keyboard when they are using the Oculus Rift / Vive etc.

Hopefully this explains my reasons for asking for this a little better

This I can agree with and support. If within safe drop speed/distance, I see no reason why that menu option shouldn't change to 'lock and disengage supercruise'.
