[REQUEST] 3 commands if possible...

Post by argon_emperor »

3 things (commands, hotkeys, or buttons somewhere on the GUI) that would really make things a bit nicer.. Wondering how difficult/easy these would be to implement? (Also maybe give me a pointer in the right direction of where to start, honestly wouldn't mind giving it a go myself but have no idea where to begin)

1) Send ship to internal docking - Probably best on the terminals in front of the landing pads, but would be handy to keep the landing pads clear for most of the time

2) Target nearest unclaimed ship - given how the sector object list shows, and you can't sort by ships only, stations only, or both as in previous X games, and that it doesn't even sort by any identifiable order (originally thought alphabetical of the ship's name, but have noticed lately even that doesn't stick), would make it less time consuming to just spot them out

3) Target nearest container - same as above, but even worse is that they don't show on the sector object list, and half the time they're overshadowed by the destroyed ship icon, so targetting them on the map is sometimes just a pain. So having a hotkey to just insta target the nearest container in range would simplify that.

Quick edit: Also in regards to 1), if you have a ship on a docking pad, the game doesn't seem to let you retrieve the one in storage because the landing pad is in use, it doesn't auto move the ship on the pad to the internal so the external is free

+1 this.
I like to cruise around in a Cerb while drinking shots with my marines, but keep my fighter on board for occasion's better suited.
Playing with a joystick - target locking whatever closest to the reticle (.) - happens to usually be the ship sitting on the deck... haven't accidentally fired any misses at it yet... but well... vodka shots and accidents happen; its only time.

+1 on this as well. I would especially love 1, because I am OCD and want my dang flight deck to be empty all the time.
