The new wheel menue is great. warping, orbiting etc quick and straight forward.

bookmarking object in the UI is possible through the + menue on the wheel

It would be great if you can bookmark the actual ship location with the radial menue on your ship (where you can set your default for warping etc.)

Radial Menu:(on scanner button)

• Clicking scanner button that brings out radial menu and then somewhere else bring back your mouse cursor right on top of a scanner button - this is annoying
• Left clicking scanner button and getting new radial menu - is weird (imho right clicking is more preferable)

On Singularity, I am running into problems where I'm trying to left-click-and-drag to turn the camera, but I accidentally left-clicked on some object (like a station that I'm sitting next to at zero meters). Thus, instead of turning the camera, I'm instead getting the radial menu by mistake.

We need the option to switch the radial menu to Middle Mouse Button or to disable the Radial Menu completely. This is important, please.

At first the radial menu seemed like a really good idea but now the more I see of it, the more I hate it.
Every time I try to pan the camera I end up issuing a random command instead.
Please allow us to set the radial to middle mouse button instead of left, or to have it require a modifier key.
And please tune the object picking algorithm a little tighter.. I don't even have to click on an item to get the menu to pop up, it's enough to just click in empty space near something.

Another couple suggestions from me.

1. Radial Menu and Drones
It would be a good idea, in my opinion, to have a Radial Menu on the Drones window. I would love to have an options on Radial Menu to:
- Return Drone to Drone Bay
- Return and Orbit
- Approach

I realize that there are keyboard shortcuts for that, but the keyboard shortcuts affect all drones, whereas the Radial Menu commands would affect the selected drone(s) only. It would be good way of recalling drones that are taking heavy fire from the battlefield, without going trough all these cascading menus.

Similarly, it would be good idea to have a "Engage Target" command for drones in the Radial Menu of damagable entities (Rats, Players, structures, etc). For the sake of making Radial Menu more appealing, and providing alternatives to key shortcuts and cascading menus.

2. Jump Drive Operation
Another good addition to the Radial Menu of the Player's Ship, would be the option to select "Jump To ->" to initiate the jump. And yes, that would call for dynamic allocation of buttons.

On a side note: The dynamically allocated buttons, such as would be for options that would otherwise call for cascading menus, are, in my opinion, a very strong functionality to have coded into the menu. Having a dynamic Radial Menu, as opposed to static one (as in, you always have certain set of actions to take, no matter what is the situation) would be a strong pro to the system. It would allow you to eventually deprecate the lengthy Cascading menus. I far prefer the Radial Menu over Cascading menu, even if that would mean more complexity added to the menu.

You already have the "More" (+) button on the Radial menu. Those additional and dynamic functions could be (and, in my opinion, should be) just like that

I am thinking, how would that look if the "Expanding" menus would look like. I guess a bit too much like the current cascading menus... hmm.

3. Eject from ship
Currently, on Tranquility, the radial menu allows you to Eject your pod from the ship, whereas the new one on Singularity does not. You do have the option to Board Ship from the Radial Menu, and thus lacking the option to eject pod from the same level is severely lacking and is standing out.

More to come as I get to spend more time on SiSi.

When you add this delay, would you also add a NEVER option? (Infinity, will never come on no matter how long you click the mouse on it) I am, a bit, olde skewel and find it clumsey (for me) and would prefer to turn it off.

Yes, I gave it a shot trying to use it for different things, but cancelling the chosen option is clumsey and would prefer not to trip over the menu when in space fighting for my life. The mouse returning to the origninal click point is also annoying.

Fluff is nice to a point, but some of us prefer to keep it simple.
The radial menu for the scanner is ok it saves a click or 2, but its really not needed. It would be simpler to add a check box to the scanner to turn on/off the overlay.

Thank you for listening to your community!

Oops, made a separate thread before I saw this.

Give us the option to assign this to another mouse button, or as the guy above said, to set the delay to "never".

Yes, we know you love your new radial menus.... it is, however, bad form to simply dismiss what people are saying to you about your beautiful design. We have stopped playing to go to test and give some feedback, and are met with "but our new menus are just so well thought out that you people saying they are not perfect are simply wrong!"

(So far you've almost outright mocked the poor guy using the old menu system who noted that all the buttons have moved around.... meanwhile ignoring the folks asking for a way to move this to another key or button.)

We need a way to disable this menu, or a way to assign assign to another button/key (yes, so we never have to use it.... do not cry.)

The old menu had: ESC->General Settings->Expand Action Menu With (Left Button/Middle button) -- that is now gone. Now, (yes, yes I now the new radial menu is completely not the old action menu....) but now several people here have mentioned wanting to remap the button for this and, so far, no blue response.

Target icons for logis are just fine.

It would be best to allow it to be mapped to any key as the middle mouse button is used by many for comms (TS3, Vent etc)

While you are doing keymapping stuff, do you think you could make it possible to map the voice PTT-key to more keys/mousebuttons? The current options are rather limited.
