Go To Button on Events

[Merrivale]

Just a small suggestion: add a "go-to" button on pop-ups. The outliner is there of course, but it's a nice thing to have when you have a bunch of ships and a lot of things going on.

I disagree, the core feature of the game is exploring the galaxy.
Why should they take away the joy of searching several systems to find the event?
It's mostly to simulate that you are part of the research/scientific team and that you have to make some efforts to solve the events.

That's not joy, that's tedium, very quickly. If I'm getting a message from my science vessel that something is going on, I expect to be shown where it is, if i'm interested enough.

I was joking. Don't take it serious, of course it would be helpfull to have such a button. In most of the UI windows they already have this little camera icon.

"Holy and Puissant Majesty, your humble servant Mercedes Romero reports that she has found a strange obelisk on the world she is surveying."

"Aha! And where exactly is this world?"

"Oh no, Holy and Puissant Majesty, you must find it on the map yourself to simulate that you are part of the research / scientific team. After all, you have to make some efforts yourself to solve the events."

Agree. It's with some games difficult to find correct place you are interested in.

There is a list of your ships, you find an anomaly the game pauses and you click the related science ship button. Doesnt that do?

The problem is that if the anomaly is too hard to fix at that time, it can be fairly hard to find again at a later point.

But then it shows up in your event log already, or am i mistaken?

Yes, please. The interface desperately needs a "go to" feature on pop up messages.

Another proof that irony and sarcasm hardly work on internet Forums ... nice try though

Okay i watched some of the first stream, and it does look as they show up in the situation log. But i couldn't see a go to button, so you'll still have to find the anomaly on the map, which is a bit of a pain.

Had to learn it the hard way

There is such button. It looks like camera with crosshair and is also used to lock camera. But sadly it seemed to be bugged in latest stream.

But it wasn't on the event windows, only in the normal menus.

Is this going to happen? I certainly hope so!

What event windows do you mean? The anomaly screen for example already have one and the the popup about the colony event also had one.

The post refers to the blorg stream from last thursday 8.04.2106

 

[barny]

Yeah, something like that would help in a lot of events.

For example when you make contact with a new alien race (or the aliens with you) a "go to capital" button would be nice, so you don't have to go to the list of aliens searching for the new ones there.
