| Summary | 0002414: New Reference Dropdown Filters | ||||
| Description | The current dropdown of filters in the reference section is no longer up to the task, since the removal of AI turrets and the addition of Guard Posts and Guardians, which are neither turrets nor non-combatants. I suggest adding the following three selections to the dropdown Guardians Guard Posts Minor Factions There are a few others I'd like to see if they could be implemented without complications, but they're also very non-essential Incoming Wave (lists the ship types coming in the next wave, of course it would be spoilerish... Previous Waves I'd also like to see a few more choices in the dropdown for numerical comparison, but again it isn't that big a deal: cap vs wave size, wave size vs cap. | ||||

|
Even more important than additional filters for the comparison list, we need a better way to handle the really, really giant plain old ship list. |
|
|
I would literally pay extra for a text search box for that list! |
|
|
You know you can just click the name of a row to switch that ship into the dropdown place, I hope :) As for textbox input, that's turning out to be a major headache in general. |
|
|
Actually the first thing I would do is filter the Grand List to only those things known by the player to be in this game. Would seriously shorten the list. |
|
|
It's intended to be useful for looking up anything, not just stuff in the current scenario. |
|
|
Something for enemy ships that's equal to selecting one of your own ships and then alt + right clicking and selecting 'view reference' would be nice. Since you can't actually select enemy ships at the moment, there's no way to do this. And I'm much more likely to want a reference for the enemy, to know what can kill it, than for my own guy. |
|
|
You can get that by selecting one of your ships, having it target the enemy ship in question, and doing view-reference-for-target. I hope to provide some better options later, but we don't have time right now. |
|
|
I meant to put this to considering, but when I then assigned it to you, it went back to assigned. |

Any (or all) of the following would be wonderful for the reference dropdown: * Pressing a letter jumps to that section of the list, just like how dropdowns work in most browsers/operating systems. * Separate the Mark # into a second drop down, so you use the first drop down to pick the ship type, and the second drop down is used to select the Mark. * A check box on the reference page to limit the dropdown to only ships in the current game. For example, I'm playing with no expansions, but otherwise all ship types enabled, so I'd love to have all the expansion ships turned off. |
