I have started playing ED since standard beta release (again...because I'm old Elite fan
) and I must say that I'm very satisfied with the game.
I would like to post some suggestions to improve ships/station interface (sry if someone already posted this before) :
1. Ability to bind key for opening galaxy map would be very useful. I'm sure players are opening map frequently, so it is not practical to always look left -> scroll to navigation tab -> scroll to map -> open it. Maybe you can put a map button into station interface too !
2. Some flight log would be useful. Where I have docked, picked/handled mission, who I killed/being killed...
3. Can you include some basic ship specifications when I’m buying them ? I would like to see some tech data about ships: like hyperspace jump range, number of hardpoints, how many cargo units I can load, speed and such.
4. On bulletin board interface you can include missions log, so I can see what missions I’m on and what to pick next and plan route. Now, if I would like to check what missions I have picked before, I must exit station interface -> look left -> select missions tab -> select mission -> read details -> look forward -> select station services -> open bulletin board. Galaxy map button would be useful here too, because of same problem. I would like to see some kind of hyperlinks on destination text, linked with galaxy map.
5. You can include some description of goods I’m buying from market. This is cosmetic change, but I realy would like to know more about H.E.Suits or Bioreducing lichens
6. Please, do something with chat interface. Looking up-left while pressing 3 or more keys to select player and enter some text is far from practical. At least you can include some improved chat options and better interface while players are docked.
This is for now. I would like to see what other players think about my suggestions and I hope you will find some of my suggestions useful to improve this great game
