Not having to Use the Menus so much !

Ok as I said I'm back in to the Game and issues and omissions are still present.

I will make a few little threads as opposed to a big thread that way people can say yeah I agree or idiot needs to and play the game lol.

Station selection:
I have a Heads up display who's job it is to keep my eyes on the target, when I'm targeting a destination I do not want to have to look at my right side, pick contacts, select the station, and then chose DOCK.

Same thing with Target Selection:

Could we have a way of selecting the target and pressing the LOCK TARGET Button to get a list of things up like Dock, Chat, Select Sub-System we could then use the normal menu keys to select an item.

Simple menu that stops the Ache !

This is what needs to be done. but I woul like to keep the list of contacts in [1] panel (with possibility to sorting it).

Thought someone was going to say that should have been pre-emptive sorry.

I'm normally listening to music as I have a great sound setup that I use when I'm programming or playing games, and I don't much like the in game music as it's too repetitive.
So voice attack as good as it is tends to go off one one when I'm singing along to Danger Zone - Foot Loose - Fame etc.

HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE, GONNA TAKE A RIDE IN TO THE DANGER ZONE !

But there's a one risk. with all these menus game can become an excell (like EVE Online have done). this sucks then. We do need quick way to select station and request dock to it. But [1] board must remain. And it must not be an opening menu with list of actions right in front of your eyes behind other interface elements. There's rather should be more hotkeys.

Hi I'm not saying change anything that's already in game, just would like a few shortcut ways of interacting with everything.

If I select a target and then select that target a 2nd time that you would then get 4 choices of action on my Sticks main HAT.
It wouldn't even need to be a screen based menu, it could be invisible to the User !

We could have a user defined set of items.

For Enemy
1. Top for SubSystem Weapons
2. Left for SubSystem Engine
3. Right for Subsystem Distributor
4. Bottom for SubSystem Power Plant

These would streamline my game play by a huge amount, combat select the target twice, press hat right, Go in for the kill !

If it's a friendly or installation
1. Top Call up information on target
2. Left Autodock
3. Right Cancel Autodock
4. Bottom Chat

Hopefully that makes sense
