Aw, the positions of the buttons aren't the same as the ones in the current radial menu. That's going to be such a pain to break muscle memory. I thought that was going to be changed. Sure, its not an update to the current radial menu, but a new one; but the buttons that do the same thing can still be in the same place.

Just to confirm I have tried it...

And I liked it.

I updated Sisi this morning and spent some time playing with it.

I know I wont be using it all the time, because of the way I play the game, but how it has been implemented is intuitive but also unobstructive.

Thank you for your work.

Now I need to go and whinge about the scanning changes :P

thx for making this an optional feature

I personally can't wait to give this a try when it comes! :) It does looks amazing when it was first previewed at the Fanfest

You better not change you mind over leaving the right click menu alone :)

Please let people Choose if they want ot use this or not.

Can you explain this a bit more?

"Navigation options are placed on the 45 degree axis; Align, Warp To, Keep at Range and Orbit. The range of these options depends on the distance of the mouse pointer from the center of the menu. So all ranges can be set in a single motion, their placement is deliberate to minimize errors."

Might be one of those things easier to see than explain, but I can't get on Sisi till the next mirror.

For the life of me, I can't understand why there's a perception that a 3-layer nested menu consisting of a huge list in which moving the mouse at all in the wrong vector will cause the flyout menu to collapse is considered great UI design. It is FAMILIAR UI design, (as Windows uses it) which is different than "good". You can get used to almost any crap if you use it enough.

Fact is, people are efficient with it not because it is optimal but because a muscle-memory has developed for it. Objectively, for fast-paced situations that is a terrible interface. Of course, it is great that they are keeping that as an option. It is also good for more elaborate menus of choices when its not as time critical.

A lot of the feedback here seems to be along the lines of "I'm used to x, so never ever change x so I don't have to relearn it."

All my prospective suggestions were addressed:

I like the fact that you can access it for items in the overview -- it was going to be my main question/request. It is objectively more motion and clicks, and thus slower, to click on an object in the overview then move upward to go to the contextual panel to perform an action. The only thing this radial menu does in this case functionally is move this menu to under your cursor. Of course, even faster is just hotkey+click on the overview for a function.

The ability to assign a hotkey+left mouse-click to instantly open the menu is ideal and would be better even than the ability to move it to a different mouse button (which is also a needed option, so good that it's there). That allows for no delay, no mis-click of the radial if you don't want it and creates a sort of universal shortcut key. I will be using the radial menu a decent amount, but that feature would make it a staple.

I like very much the ability to drag in a direction to adjust things like orbit distance, warp to range etc. It lets you have a simple button without sub-options yet gives you effectively the same or better choices when selecting it.

If you click on the object, say a gate, and go to Warp to you'll warp to the gate at the default range. If however you go past the Warp 'wedge' of the circle, whilst staying in line with Warp, you will see range indicators (graphic and text) increasing up to the maximum allowable for that action. This allows for specification of both the action and a parameter (if you like) within the bounds of the gesture.
