It would be nice if they could let you queue up all the rolls needed for where you want to go and hit the button once, letting it run until it gets there or mats run out.

You realize you can engineer pinned recipes at the material trader right? The only reason you need to go to an engineer is to pin recipes or get an experimental effect, and you can add these at any point for any module, with no need to return to the engineer after.
Some people say we're not supposed to eat animals either. I say, if we're not, then why are they made of meat?
If we're not supposed to run around with full G5 modules, why do they go to G5?
To me, there's nothing wrong with working on your upgrades, pushing everything you have to its full potential - but it isn't a requirement by any means. It does give some goals to work towards, and that's a good thing.
I just think some adjusting is in order. I do like the new system, absolutely. I'm not that keen on how many upgrades it takes, or the sheer amount of materials used. I'm not afraid of doing some work, as long as it feels meaningful. Trading or scrounging up enough materials for "one more upgrade", especially when they're particularly rare materials, or worse - common or standard materials with terrible spawn rates (CIF anyone?), or only found in one type of signal source, on Wednesdays, when the primary and tertiary stars are aligned and the planets are in retrograde, and the nearest trader offering these is 30 jumps away... that's when my skin gets crawly.
Since you can only pin one, that's not much use. Which is why pinning the chain for an effect for a module would make much more sense, also during material collection.
Yep! Makes total sense... Will reduce the unnecessary hassle and faff...
But someone at FD seems to think hassle and faff is quality game time it seems...
As a long term reward. Just like hotels in Monopoly. You may want to have a whole lot of them after a few turns, but it doesnt happen. Even though they exist.
Btw, you are also made of meat...

Thus I avoid cannibals, yet have been known to tell others to "eat me".
And I do agree with the "long term reward" premise - though how long that term should be is somewhat debatable. I'm hoping to not still be converting modules in 2038, but presently it feels like I might.

I find the clicking bearable. The amount of time for engineering a ship to where one needs it is greatly decreased by the mat traders. And the guaranteed progression does the same.
