Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Bound it to mouse button 5 with zero delay. Perfect. Using it constantly, loving it. TY.

I don't like radial menu, is it somehow possible to turn it off ?

BR,
Uncle

Radial menu: never used but it's always in the way of what I want to do. A way to disable it would be great. I am sure some people will love it. I do not find it useful with my play style. On the scanner menu I am fine with it. Thank you.

I have issues with the odyssey radial menu that I have found very frustrating vs previous versions. I am mentioning the issues in the order they occur. The level of frustration caused can be likened to a intense desire to punch the screen:

1. Accuracy: I could be clicking an item in space and it instead pulls up the radial menu for the ship. So I click and hold on say, a can or station and instead it brings up the ship specific radial menu

2. Changing default settings: The radial menu should be for quick decision or quick menu items, it should NEVER include options like setting the default orbit, keep at range, or warp distance. These settings reflect strategic flight settings and should be available through a right click menu, but not through a radial menu. Plus the radial menu will never allow the precision of an entered value.

3. Not being able to abort a selection: Perfect Storm of issues 1 & 2. You click in space on something else but your ship radial menu shows up. But you don't realize this right away as your muscle memory moves to the option for warp or dock, and instead you find yourself setting the new default warp in distance on your ship. You haven't released the mouse click yet and you realize you are about to make a mistake, so you move the cursor away from the radial menu and release. Instead of aborting the action, it goes ahead and changes your default warp-in distance. You now have to go to your warp settings and change it back to zero.

FInally, decisions on the radial menu, its format, what should and shouldn't be there, should be subject to what I call the interceptor test. Imagine yourself flying in an interceptor in a high speed encounter (e.g. chasing down a vagabond) where 'twitch play' or fast response time is critical. In this scenario you want your radial buttons to have relevant options, not stuff like setting default warp.

Try increasing the delay (in the ESC menu)

you can drag and drop systems/destination station from autopilot list to chat.

since radial menu works on the autopilot list too that drag and drop doesnt work anymore while in space. while docked i can still drag and drop. if i try this in space, the radial menu pops up and i cant drag anything.

Move it to a button you never ever use and set the delay to max. Bam, good as disabled.

Being able to use it on characters in various lists (fleet, chat, etc) would be nice. Invite to fleet/convo, give money, kick from fleet, revoke/set booster, etc.

Also, being able to warp fleet/wing/squad using it would also be very nice.

And using it on items in hangar: sell, fit to active ship, info, repackage, reprocess...

It should actually already work on them... if it doesn't, I must have some fixing to do

How bout radial menu in the assets window? Shame to have to right click on a station where I have assets to select it as a destination.
