What about Jita 4/4, which has two stations?


Good point, forgot about that. I'm not claiming to have all the answers~ perhaps in the case of that instance an extra 1 or 2 on the command line would work though.

I'd suggest that people are far more likely to commit typos or be victims of client/server lag using the proposed system.


Well it's not meant to be the be all and end all of navigation, at least not if they implement it along side the current system instead of in replacement of) it's just meant to be an extra option. You can still make mistakes under the right click system (I've warped to and jumped the wrong gate before because I was in a rush. Also I've ended up AFK auto piloting to a low sec system before because I set the wrong destination because they had similar names. Let’s face it no matter what system we use we're always going to mess up occasionally.

As I stated, a fan of this idea as an addition, not a replacement. So people will have their choice of which to use.

It seems like you also want more menu permanence.

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

I like my context menus.

That's alright you get to keep your context menus. And since you have made such an asinine post, I can only assume you are a troll - and not a very good one at that.

Keep on flaming! Longer people like you troll, the longer this thread stays active! Thanks for the bump!

I don't always troll, but when I do it's a lot more involved than that.

To be honest, your proposal has some rather limited uses. Not to mention using the numpad with most people use a right-handed mouse means that either you're using the numpad left-handed (counter-intuitive and takes your hands away from all the existing hotkeys) or you're taking your hand off the mouse to perform keystrokes. Either way, it doesn't seem any more efficient/effective than the current right-click context menu.

What's your solution for a system with 13 planets? Or a planet with 21 moons?



Umm... I already explained this in the original post if you ahd actually bothered to read it entirely

In any case as I made it clear in the very top of the OP this is an additional alternative not a replacement.

I dont know how I could make myself more clear

This idea has merit in being implimented along side the current system though not as a replacement. The ides of typing (for example) /3451 on the keyboard to dock at a station you use often seems somewhat more appealing. I think the actual short cuts need to be thought about somewhat. Planet - moon numbers seems to be a good idea for stations. [first 2 numbers random examples since I have already forgotten the menu locations] /3(stations)2(dock)5(planet)3(moon)*(close and confirm command).


It is not meant to replace anything. Its meant to provide an additional means of dealing with the UI through shortcuts.
