Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would like to see a menu were you don't have to take the game down to get a different character. Like put a menu were it says change character and it just takes you to your character page.

I'm with those who wants it to be configurable. I love the radial and only opinion I have is that i want to choose myself whats in it. I also agree with those who wants the option to turn it off since shortcuts are faster no matter how you look at things.

I'm against the suggestion to open it in space without clicking something since holding the mouse button is used to pan the camera. This then brings up my next suggestion to add a delay before the bloody thing pops up. Can't remember how many times iv'e undocked with camera facing the station, zoomed in like crazy and just as i'm about to pan the camera, "Attack of the radial!"... Either that or make it possible to map bookmarks to shortcuts.. (if that's already possible or there is a good way to get around this frustrating, ridiculous undock/camera problem, someone please tell me so I won't have to suffer like this)

Peace out

imho this does not make piloting any easier; it gets in the way.

Why when e.g. opening a container, do I have to wait for the wedge to rise up and do a little blinky? Just open the can, which you're about to do anyway!

Delay, as discussed above at length as a work-around, is NOT a solution. Putting impedance and delay between what I want to do and having it occur is fail. Sure, even PVP is not that fast twitch, and I suppose mission ISK/hour isn't that affected ... but they are effected, for no gain I can discern. So drop the blinky dance.

Also, it is a delay to getting the scanner open. That's only significant when you need to scan for probes, or check a hole for company - at which point, the delay is NOT appreciated.

CCP, please quit having your interns code your user interface! Get some world class UI consultants in, and fix things! This is at best a lateral step, and probably a step backwards.

Also, +1 on all the peeps who said, why in 2013 can't we attach what we need to the menus, instead of what CCP guesses might be good?

Speaking of this reminded me of one time where I attempted to use the radial menu to warp my pod out after losing a ship in fw, I activated the radial menu either two or three times attempting to warp to a random celestial before I was pointed & podded. Is there some sort of delay on the mac after your ship goes up in smoke before the radial menu works or did I just mess up under the pressure & fail to get out though being in a bit of a panic.
Something which I know caused me to lose my only other pod (clicking frantically on the warp to icon in the selected item until I hid the window).

Just to clarify I'm not looking for any reimbursement, all that I lost was pride xD

Edit : Also, the radial menu is awesome & I love how fluid it has made the game feel.

I would like an in-station (and in-general cargo window) radial menu.

With options for selling, repackaging, reprocessing, stacking, and trashing items, boarding/leaving ship (in hangar context).

Furthermore, I propose there be added an action located directly in the center of the radial menu, which is by default mapped to "jump to random available beacon" *only on titans and supercarriers

ugh you! What do you expect when you have the delay 0 on the main button!

When we added the delay + button mapping we wanted to have 0 delay an option because it would can be very handy when you have the radial menu mapped to some other button.
I just knew someone would come along and set the delay to 0 and have the radial menu mapped to the left button and then complain that clicking didn't work. My response was going to be "ok, then don't do that" (it would have been messy to disable 0 for only left button, and I figured people would just self correct and not select 0 ).

Anyways... I saw the bugreport and thought "ugh, here we go: then don't do th... weeeeell, I guess I could fix it... but still, you shouldn't do that!".

Long story short:
I just made a change yesterday so if you click something, and you release the mouse within a "reasonable clicking time" (not holding down) AND your mouse hasn't moved since we started trying to open the radial menu, the click will register and you can switch targets . It would be great if you could check it out when it hits Singularity... I had no problems clicking, but maybe I'm just very good at mouse and keep very still when I click

Of course the radial menu will start to open up and you see it, but that's only to be expected... the delay is set to be 0 after all (sadly I can't read minds )

(btw, I don't see how you can ever drag something with those settings though, and I don't have a good solution for magically knowing if you want to be dragging or using the radial menu ... this will probably become a bigger issue after our point release)

Were used to it by know just look at the Command ship thread :)

No kidding! She better ante up and tell us what she did.. cuz I dunno about you, but I would LOVE a vacation where I forgot everything about work..

Hmmm, I'm not sure... sometimes macs do weird things

info icon the blue I symbol that pulls up the info screen.

The worse offender is the route info boxes left clicking the first box pulls up the info screen while right clicking pulls up the menu and the first option is warp to that gate. There is no consistency.
