Re: Option to add systems to log

Buggering around in Tri, being bored after having been killed off in mafia, trying to play a bit with the new map, I noticed the new map is missing the option to add systems to your log, one that the old map used to have.
I for one used that option a lot, to keep track of movements of others with the timestamp on the log, and to mark certain systems with favorable resource bonusses for exploring. Could be a good idea to add another one of those "log system" buttons?

Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tussen droom en daad,
Staan wetten in de weg en praktische bezwaren,
En ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren,
En die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat.

Re: Option to add systems to log

Oh and how you cannot open up multiple systems is a pain. I don't know whether it is possible, but could you add the possibility to open systems in new tabs so that one can have multiple systems in different tabs opened up?

Re: Option to add systems to log

the solution is to link to the old systems windows and forget about this table-looking-awful system view, it is by far the worst part of the new map


btw RD there's another thread about the map in ideas, kan you move it there pls?

Ba-da-bump for ongoing relevancy




Ability to save systems to logs:

Ability to open up multiple systems:
Oh and how you cannot open up multiple systems is a pain. I don't know whether it is possible, but could you add the possibility to open systems in new tabs so that one can have multiple systems in different tabs opened up?

Arby and I actually worked out the last idea slightly more:
1[20:34] <RisingDown> what about opening systems in new tabs
[20:35] <RB3> hmm
[20:35] <RB3> i think they want to keep it integrated to 1 screen
[20:35] <RB3> but...maybe we have it popup within the screen itself
[20:36] <RB3> and you would have to close each one, instead of it changing
[20:36] <RB3> that way you could have 5 different systems open at the same time
01[20:36] <RisingDown> hmm I'd honestly prefer the ability to open up new tabs tongue
01[20:37] <RisingDown> having multiple pop ups in 1 tab will quickly crowd your tab
[20:37] <RB3> not if it's done correctly
[20:37] <RB3> right now, there is a sidebar on the right
[20:38] <RB3> so..if you click a system, it will popup for you to see
[20:38] <RB3> but could be posted under the zoom buttons where there is ample space
[20:38] <RB3> so you can click either X to close it
[20:38] <RB3> or _ to downsize, like a normal window
[20:38] <RB3> and when it does, it kicks it over to the sidebar
01[20:38] <RisingDown> hmm downsizing could work
[20:38] <RB3> and you can open them and move them around on your screen at much as you wish
[20:39] <RB3> i wonder if it can be coded that way tongue
01[20:39] <RisingDown> would you be able to pop up 2 next to each other?
[20:39] <RB3> that's what i'm wondering
01[20:39] <RisingDown> move them around like windows so they fit alongside
01[20:39] <RisingDown> cuz that's what I used to do at times
[20:39] <RB3> yeah, but just within the frame istelf
[20:39] <RB3> *itself
01[20:39] <RisingDown> sending out raids to multiple systems, still having to run ground
[20:39] <RB3> and not externally from it
01[20:39] <RisingDown> wanting to randomise, even between systems

Re: Option to add systems to log

the problem with opening a lot of tabs in 1 klik is that the game gets stressed.
I often used multilinks add for firefoz and you have to set a delay window between every tab opening, by default you'll get "the game is too stressed, try later" that means you are "attaking" the poor server with too many stuff in few time.  Then I settled the delay window at 2 sekonds and it all went fine.

Re: Option to add systems to log

The primary point here is not to have multiple windows open, but to have easy access to previous windows. Might even releave some stress as it'll cost less clicks to get to the desired system!
