[Suggestion]: Station Licenses

Goatnado386 · Post by **Goatnado386** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:38 am

I can't remember which stations I have licenses at. Could there be some sort of in-game info menu that shows a list of owned stations?

If this is too much to deal with right now, then maybe a good placeholder would be a little asterisk or highlighted graphic on the NavMap when rolling over the different station icons?

If there's already a way to do this, then I'm sorry for starting a new thread, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Thanks!

EDIT: Ooh! Also, I read in the latest update notes that it's possible to change the default behavior of the trade screen when docking. What's that about? How does it work?

Hello ncc386, as far as the trade screen when docking, you can turn off and on the auto dock. some people wanted to come into a station but not have the station grab them and the F3 trade menu auto open. Not sure about the station license listings.

That kind of information is what the nav map log is specifically designed for... license locations and basically anything else you might want to keep track of locations for. Perhaps I could add a routine to automatically add a listing to the map log when you buy a license, although I generally prefer to let the player completely control entries like that.

You can turn off the automatic opening of the inventory console, letting you control station docking manually. The default key to toggle the option on and off is Alt-F3.

Just buy licenses at every station in the universe. Sheesh. It's not that hard.

I'd prefer the Nav Marker for some reason. I agree with Vice that keeping the player in control of his/her own map log is a good thing.

Thats why he is a PT (Prime Target). However he does seem to have all the hotels on Park Lane and Mayfair, so be very careful when you land on him - make sure you have enough to get away!!!

I think there ought to be a limit on the number of stations owned. Or at least the number of stations owned in a sector/system.

It would actually hinder you in profit making to own licences in every station

I own licenses primarily so reds don't shoot me when I dock.
