I'm enjoying using the new FSS, but I frequently find myself jumping into a system with the intention of only looking for the presence of specific signal sources (e.g. USS's, Notable Stellar Phenomena, Earth like worlds, etc...).
Right now, to do this, I have to:
It doesn't flow very well.
I would like to propose 2 suggestions that could help make this a smoother experience:
Thanks!
Right now, to do this, I have to:
- Honk
- Come to a full stop.
- Enter FSS.
- Review the spectral analysis chart for signals.
- Exit FSS.
- Speed up.
- Jump to another system.
It doesn't flow very well.
I would like to propose 2 suggestions that could help make this a smoother experience:
- Display the spectral analysis chart on the HUD while in Analysis Mode. You wouldn't be able to filter it or anything, but it would allow you to see immediately if there is a specific signal you're interested in.
OR - Allow the user to enter FSS while moving.
If the ship absolutely has to be halted for the FSS to work as designed, then at least allow the play to enter the FSS in read-only mode, and provide a way for them to adjust their throttle within the FSS to enable FSS functions.
Thanks!
