Hyper Confirmation

Post by Fwiffo »

I haven't done it yet, but I'm definitely going to accidentally hyper when I mean to look at scans instead at some point. Clicking on a sector for both of them makes it far too easy to do if you aren't paying close attention.

There really needs to be a confirmation button for hypering to prevent this.

I'm thinking of something along these lines:

Sector clicked and your either in red shields or it's the last minute of the hyper window then it hypers.

Sector clicked and your healthy and it's not right before the hyper window then it asks if you're sure.

NB the hitpoints would be based on when you load the page - may be an issue if you keep an old navcom window open.

The different treatment based on time / hp may cause confusions.

Any comments / improvements?

Add another one to the list :-(

It's especially confusing if you have an LC scan (where you click on the sectors to get scans) opened in one tab, and a navcom in the other tab :-P

Your idea sounds good ecvej

another mistake I've been making is setting up the autopilot (which I really like) then going for two pickups, but actually hitting it three times. Is there a way to add a 'hey stupid, did you forget you are saving 3 moves to hyper automatically at end of turn?' statement
