General Wishlist for Elite, Quality of life, and a bug needed fixing.

[Petitus]

After getting back in to this game this year, and playing it a bit hard.
I have have run in to some issues, and have some thoughts about quality of life improvements I would love to see, and even an bug I would love to have fixed.

Hope Elite Devs see this post, or at least we can have a discussion about these ideas before we post them to elite forums

1: Navigation panel: Create My Filters category.
- Set Navigation Filters to "MyFilters". Let me add Carriers, Stations, Planets etc to "My Filters", and remove them when I want to.

2: BUG : Carrier buying bug.
- When buying from a carrier, items should be put right in ship. not have to close the menu, then go back to the menu for it to fill the ship

3: Transfer to and from carrier
- Be able to quickly set max of an item to transfer to or from a carrier. Today you have to sit and hold a button and wait for it to count up to max items to transfer

4: Transfer to and from carrier.
- Be able to click "transfer all" from carrier, and fill up ship inventory to max. Useful when you are going to empty carrier

5: Supercruise assist keybind.
- We should be able to set a keybind for "Supercruise assist". Press keybind to supercruise lock current target.

6: QuickBuy Max.
- A way to quickly jump to MIN, or MAX when buying. perhaps even being able to type in number we want.

7: Make your own route in Galaxy Map.
- When I plan exploration, I would like to be able to make my own route from system to system. a way to just push a button, set route. then find next system and add to route...

8: Carriers in system...
- Now that we have the Trailblazer ships to pick up colonization stuff, we need more parking spots for Carriers, or a Max-Parking time for carriers that just hang around. 24 hours. after that 1million creds in parking ticket for every hour for 1 day. then if they still have not move, force move them to next system.
This would only affect spots around trailblazer ships....

9: Carrier Visited Ship Log
Let us see who visited our carriers since last we used it.
Perhaps this could be in a Captains logbook, where we have our last carrier jumps logs. And Visited logbook. Perhaps even a Guestbook for people to sign if they want with a short message?

These are some of me, and my friends thoughts, and some good thoughts I have read here on Reddit that you guys want, and I thought: what a great idea.

I want the nev panel to always show my FC regardless of filter, kind of like how it always shows the Nav beacon regardless of filter. 99.99999% of the time that I filter for FCs, it's only my FC I care about.

1: Navigation panel: Create My Filters category.
- Set Navigation Filters to "MyFilters". Let me add Carriers, Stations, Planets etc to "My Filters", and remove them when I want to.

Isn’t this what the filter options on the Nav panel already does?

2: BUG : Carrier buying bug.
- When buying from a carrier, items should be put right in ship. not have to close the menu, then go back to the menu for it to fill the ship

Bug fixes are good.

3: Transfer to and from carrier
- Be able to quickly set max of an item to transfer to or from a carrier. Today you have to sit and hold a button and wait for it to count up to max items to transfer

The hold button is fine it just needs to work at the speed of the one in the commodities market.
Having to type in a number could be a problem for those who use VR.

4: Transfer to and from carrier.
- Be able to click "transfer all" from carrier, and fill up ship inventory to max. Useful when you are going to empty carrier

All of what, you would need to select the commodity first, faster behaviour as above would be fine after all it is only a few hundred items.

5: Supercruise assist keybind.
- We should be able to set a keybind for "Supercruise assist". Press keybind to supercruise lock current target.

For those still using it yes.

6: QuickBuy Max.
- A way to quickly jump to MIN, or MAX when buying. perhaps even being able to type in number we want.

VR issues and controller issues, but when buying getting the max isn’t a time issue as the count moves so fast.

7: Make your own route in Galaxy Map.
- When I plan exploration, I would like to be able to make my own route from system to system. a way to just push a button, set route. then find next system and add to route...

The ability to set waypoints would be nice.

8: Carriers in system...
- Now that we have the Trailblazer ships to pick up colonization stuff, we need more parking spots for Carriers,

Parking slots are limited by system address numbers so are fixed for a particular system AIUI

or a Max-Parking time for carriers that just hang around. 24 hours. after that 1million creds in parking ticket for every hour for 1 day. then if they still have not move, force move them to next system.
This would only affect spots around trailblazer ships....

And would penalise people who can’t play at the same time each day.
Also as most of us don’t run cargo ships that can’t jump what is the point other than saving a few minutes for the jump which might actually be faster than a long cruise even with SCO.

Absolutely not.

Yes

Yes.

Absolutely not.

A nav panel favorites or "My Filter" would be amazing. The current nav panel has filters for each thing, but you can't add or remove items to a custom filter. For example, your filter could include your stations or FC so those would show when you select your specific filter. Would love to see it!

OK much clearer thank you.

While I like the idea I would be in no rush to see it added.
