Just a little suggestion after a rather annoying experience recently ..

Would it be possible to add a warning popup regarding polarisation after multiple jump thru a wormhole ?

"Jumping into a wormhole has a nasty little effect. Wormhole jump range is 5,000m. You tend to end up anywhere from 200 to 7000 meters from the wormhole when you load system. What then is in place to prevent constant jumping in the face of a hostile fleet? Polarisation. If you jump the same wormhole twice within 5 minutes, you are polarised and cannot jump that wormhole any more until 5 minutes after the initial jump."

Instead of having the timer hidden, maybe just a quick popup saying if you jump now, you will be unable to jump back before X time. Are you sure you want to jump ?

The same way we have a pop up regarding Concord not being able to defend us ..

Thanks

I wouldn't want the message - if it WAS implemented I'd CERTAINLY want a way to turn it off (WH-WH jumps man, concord's nowhere in sight)
what I WOULD like would be a polarisation timer, up there in the top corner along with all our other timers.....

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.
