Or... make the pics/names in the Terminal screen a LOT smaller so all 6 can fit nicely in perhaps a half-screen window. Do we really need a pic and name THAT big just to click on it?

apparently plenty of people think so. i'm one of them. don't like it, don't @#%% on this guy's good idea, just don't post or don't check the box if this is ever implemented.

and you might not have been discussing priority, but the other guy did, saying bugfixes should come first.

Hows this. I will say something positive just for you.


I think it's a good idea. We have something similar in crafting. We click on a box and it will only show the resources used in the current schematic. Something similar could be implemented here.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that this had become a "only post if you agree with me" forum while I was away this weekend. Apparantly, we as gamers have become so lazy that we need to save ourselves half a second of scrolling through a window to play a game. I've leave you to your slothful ways now. Hope all this back patting doesn't get your thirsty, the refrigerator is an awefully long way away...

It's a good idea. Interface dev won't be assigned to JTL bug fixes anyway so priority isn't an issue.

I can just see it now. They'll implement this...but because they changed the interface all ships will fly backwards now and missiles will have the same graphic as space stations!

On the Starship Terminals, it will show you all the ships you own all the time. From there you must scroll till you find the ship you want. (Long list if you are like me) My idea is to have an option added to where a player can click on a check box to filter out ships that are not parked at the Spaceport they are at. For example, I have all my ships parked at the Imperial Outpost on Dant. I go to the Spaceports Starship Terminal and see all my ships. I select the 1 I want to fly and travel to Theed on Naboo. After conducting my business there, I return to the Theed Sparport, use the Starship Terminal, see all my ships again. I click the option to only show the ships I have parked at that Starport, and all my other ships are filtered off that list leaving only the ship I flew to Naboo in the 1st place.

What say you all?

Either that or make the display big enough to see all 6 ships. Either one would make me happy.

That's a great idea! Alternatively, there could be an option to have a small extention to the window that listed (in lettering) where your ships that aren't at that particular starport are.

The most ships you can have is 6. Is it really that big of a problem? If they try and do something with this, they will prob mess it up to the point you can't even see your ships till a hotfix.....
