Little QoL improvement - Side panels in hyperspace

[Dsign]

I don't know how games work, I don't know how things are coded. Is there a valid reason why we can't use our side panels in hyperspace ?
It's a little thing that annoys me, a very simple detail that can make quite a difference in how you feel in the game.

The game uses hyperspace to "load" things. i.e. in addition to the new system and graphics and all that, it loads the information for your panels. Without that period, you'd be in the middle of doing something on the panels and have them reset/change on you mid click... which would be much more annoying than waiting a few seconds.

Just think of it this way: traveling in hyperspace takes a lot of power and computation. Your ship is too busy keeping you from warping through a star to display information on the side panels.

Yeah I knew about that, but thanks
Still, at least let us use the panels that don't need any reset ? I mean, apart mon target and system nothing should change in between systems.

Ok, but I still want to access them

The chat window continues to work so if there was ever a system limitation (because loading screen) I don't think it would still apply.

I can see some logic in making sure the player's eyes are front & centre as they arrive at the new system, but other instance transitions just pull you back to the main view so I don't think it would be this either.

Navigation & targeting info not being available (most of the left panel) is understandable, but most of the right panel tabs could be shown, even if it's just to view & not change your power priorities & firegroups.

However it's only a few seconds so not a big deal for me.
