Some newbie suggestions.

Hello there. I'm playing PC version of ED for not so long and i have some suggestions. Maybe someone already suggested them, but i didnt find any similar in the search. If so, then i apologise.

1. It would be good if we can access our "Galaxy" bookmarks (stations, planets, systems) via "Target Panel" (key "1" on keyboard) or via hotkey. Without need of opening galaxy or system map. Also it would be nice to sort our bookmarks. Something like "Show only planets; stations; outposts; planet stations; planet outposts; ur faction stations" and mb somethis else. And with all standart functions like "Plot route; Delete; Edit" and some buttons like "Open target system map" and "Show on galaxy map".

2. Some new buttons in Market menu. Something like "Buy all; Sell all" when goods are selected (e.g. pic 1) in order to instantly full or unload your cargo with selected goods. And "Sell all cargo" just in trade menu (e.g. pic 2) to sell all of your cargo.

3. Some changes in Power Contact menu. Some buttons like "Take all free quota" according to your rating; "Buy power goods" on which new window pop up (or something else) where you can specify how many goods you want to buy and how much it will cost (now i gеt additional qouta of 10 goods for 100.000 credits and for example 1 goods = 10.000 cr) and especially something like "Buy full cargo" and "Deliver full cargo" when delivering goods in systems. Because it is to annoying to fill and unload your cargo ship (e.g. mine is 528 capacity now and for filling it up with 10 pieces at one time I need 212!!! times to press keys). And remove this pop-up window (Pic 3) that appears after confirming the purchase of "power goods". I think it does not carry any usefull information.

4. Some changes in Docking. We've got Docking Computer that can autodock your ship and this is great! But it will be the best if it can undock your ship from stations with inside docking system. Also with docking\undocking queue. Because I've lost my Beluga Liner several times when I was trying to undock. While I am moving to the gates, tiny NPC ships have enough time to take off the platform and crash into my back. They damaged their hull and station defences decided that I am villain and just destroyed me. It can be something like "Advanced Docking Computer" and cost much more then simple DC.

5. Maybe it will be good idea to increase docking range from 7,5km to 10km?

6. Allow us to use mouse in ship panels (Target Panel; Comms Panel; Role Panel; System Panel).

7. Hotkey for "Galactic Powers".

8. Some changes in "Transactions" from "Target panel". Some sorting for missions and passangers. Time left; Nearest distance to complete; mb something else. Make description more informatively, like where i take it and what faction give it to me, nearest system where i can pay fines, take bounties.

I'm free to know the community opinion on these suggestions. If any of them have already been offered, then i apologise.

P.S. English is not my native language, so excuse me for mistakes.

No worries, suggest away, I do :) . Threads get buried.

Yep being able to access or pin Galaxy Map bookmarks to the Target Panel would be great. For sorting, I use prefixes but if the number of bookmarks we can have increased then some sort of filter could be handy.

2. Some new buttons in Market menu. Something like "Buy all; Sell all" when goods are selected (e.g. pic 1) in order to instantly full or unload your cargo with selected goods. And "Sell all cargo" just in trade menu (e.g. pic 2) to sell all of your cargo.
Not sure about the button placement (accidents) but top idea in principle. Something to mention during the Focused Feedback on the Trading Update if FDev don't implement it.

3. Some changes in Power Contact menu.

There should certainly be a Delivery All button imho and after the free quota, you should just be able to load up like the commodity market. A lot people doing PP don't actually press the button to fast track the quotas, they use a macro to do it so you might want to look into that & save yourself from RSI.


4. Some changes in Docking. We've got Docking Computer that can autodock your ship and this is great! But it will be the best if it can undock your ship from stations with inside docking system.

I think docking is fine & should involve some skill. The issue is that the NPCs aren't letterbox aware & try to fly through anything in it. FDev should really fix it imho.


5. Maybe it will be good idea to increase docking range from 7,5km to 10km?
No, it's fine imho. Sometime you need to do stuff near a station but outside it, if that make sense.


6. Allow us to use mouse in ship panels (Target Panel; Comms Panel; Role Panel; System Panel).
If the player has disabled the mouse axis controls then it would be nice for those who want it.

7. Hotkey for "Galactic Powers".
I'm actually fine with it, but sure, anything that makes PP easier for people gets a thumbs up from me.

8. Some changes in "Transactions" from "Target panel". Some sorting for missions and passangers. Time left; Nearest distance to complete; mb something else. Make description more informatively, like where i take it and what faction give it to me, nearest system where i can pay fines, take bounties.
I think it's fine since you can only have 20 missions. What would be handy is if missions you couldn't hand in due to lack of inventory space were highlighted in scary warning colours.

No need to apologise, suggest away.

English is my native language & it is more literate than the stuff I usually type!
