Please Move "Dismiss Ship" Down On The SRV Menu

It doesn't have to be replaced with "Board Ship".
Perhaps "Transfer Cargo" would be less problematic in its place.
I can dismiss and recall my ship with a hotkey but I can't board my ship rapidly without risk of dismissing it.
I don't want to "Board Ship" either when I'm trying to unload cargo quickly.
Accidentally hitting the "Transfer Cargo" key doesn't send your ship off and leave you stranded to get shot at for 30 seconds. Especially after the third time in a row. I was really careful and still...:mad: (No ships were lost, just patience)

My rig isn't that slow. I'm not particularly clumsy either. I make a mistake here and there, like "Launch" instead of "Enter Hangar" and while it's frustrating, it feels fair and I'm irritated with myself, not the game.
The SRV Menu has the worst button in the prime place. I don't want it replaced with the second worst button either. "Transfer Cargo" is nice and benign as a mistake and usually what I'm trying to do. Or/also give us a cancel timer when we dismiss the ship like we get when recalling it.

"Dismiss Ship" is like a tiny (tiny) version of "Sell Ship>Yes(Preemptively highlighted)", "You Sure?>Yes(Preemptively highlighted)".:|

That's my biggest complaint about this game, the damn SRV Menu. Combine it with the extra bit of lag from being on a planet and it's all I can do not to dismiss my ship under fire when I'm trying to board it.

OTH If the devs want to highlight all the worst/most-committed menu options preemptively to increase difficulty then I could get a kick out of the salt before it becomes tiresome. :D

Anyone else have these difficulties?
Would you guys support a slight menu change?

Change in menu order makes sense to me, although I am not having that issue myself.

On a small note similar to this, it would also be good in Station Services when navigating to the right side of the panel that HoloMe isnt the default landing point. Number of additional clicks down to get to repair/restock etc has always bugged me as being unnecessary.
 
You know, this just hasn't been an issue. I can't remember the last time I accidentally told my ship to sod off mid transfer. But then I don't button mash as though I have 5 seconds to live, so there is that.
 
I've noticed, as well, that the context-based menus make it easy to make annoying mistakes.
If you select "transfer cargo" while your SRV is deploying, that option suddenly becomes "dismiss ship" once the deployment is complete, which means you've got to wait for the ship to go away and then call it back again before you can carry on transferring cargo.

Also, while I'm at it, it'd be nice if they made a choice about whether or not menus "wrap-around" and then stick to it consistently throughout the entire game.

It's quite irritating the way some menus allow you to wrap-around from either the top or the bottom (such as the ship HUDs), some only allow you to wrap-around from the bottom (such as the SRV menu) and some don't wrap-around at all (such as station menus).
Pick one and apply it consistently.
