F.O.M. button suggestion

Post by SpaceBucks »

Hello All,

One issue I have run across is doing Federation of Mining missions. Once they are completed, one goes to the FOM screen to submit the completed mission. I was using a tablet computer with a touch screen, and I touched the 'submit' button, but because the 'abort' button was very close to the button I was pushing, I accidentally aborted the mission. It may have been screen size or the touch screen dynamics, but I suggest that the buttons be on opposite sides of the screen to prevent this issue going forward.

Now that sounds reasonable - and it might also improve accessability for VI people, since I assume it's much easier for everyone to differentiate between "right - accept"/"left - cancel" and "right - cancel"/"more right - accept".
With great power comes the great realization that you can have just as much fun simply annoying each other.

I've been playing long enough now, that I'm used to the layout. I will admit, back when I first started playing the game, I did this once or twice, so I support this suggestion in the spirit of saving others from "learning the hard way", as it were. :)

Made a compromise and created a icon mid way through the table section. This should be harder to hit by mistake but still have the affect your looking for.

Now I just sit and wait for the Combat guys to ask for the same....

/me gets out stop watch and start counting....

3...2...1

Thank you Coops. I am glad that you read these things. I already saw it, and I want to say thank you very much. It is completely obvious on a small screen now.

First rate job.

Now about combat... (LOL) but I do think that one would be a great upgrade as well.

Stay frosty, COOPS!

Well it didn't take long, got my first request to change the Combat aborts to match :)

Consider it done.
