Powerplay Galactic Powers Menu: enable sorting

[Arkadi]

I did a quick search and did not find a relevant post.

I wonder if there is any system or thought about how systems in the Galactic Powers Menu (left hand menu) are sortetd.

Especially in the "Control Menu" I would like to see an option to sort systems:

• alphabetical
• sorted by status (threatened, fortifying, canceled)
• by distance to HQ
• by CC Income
• by Trigger Value

This would make it much clearer to tell witch systems are in need of fortification and witch ones are not.

At this time there is some random system at the top of the list - and somehow it gets more attention without any reason, just becouse its at the top. I dont really get it, why there was not put some more thought into the presentation of the Galactic Powers Menu.

Same goes for all other tabs.

It would have been nice, if we had been given some more possiblities to filter through the given systems at least alphabetically and maybe more.

Thank you for your attention.

With kind regards
Arkadi

update:

also there should be more states to fortification then just fortifying, under threat and canceled imho:

STATE	DESCRIPTION	SYMBOL
unheeded	this should be the basic state with zero fortification and zero undermining	power symbol outlines
fortifying	this should be the state as long there is some fortification going on but the trigger is not met yet	shield outlines
forification finished	when fortification trigger was met	solid shield $$$
undermining ongoing	when some undermining is registered but trigger is not met yet	crosshair
under threat	when undermining trigger is met but fortification trigger is not	crosshair with flash
canceled	when both triggers (undermining and fortification) are met	solid power symbol

This is just an example of course to be elaborated.

I'd agree, but to be truthful I think large parts of the interface need some thought and a rework - the galactic map, to me, is one of the most unhelpful but essential things in the game....especially for PP. A lot of info could be conveyed by changing the colour of the blob representing each star, for example, with a few 'click here to select' options (eg click and all PP faction control systems appear, with each power having a different colour, or another option could show stellar class of stars you've scanned to help plot refuel points on a route, etc).
