Jump drive select distance not %

error 404 shared this feedback 15 months ago

Planned

Change it in jump drive menu so we input desired distance and not %.

It would make our gameplay a lot easier.

You can still keep % value next to distance, like how we see both now.

Jump Drive Input distance not % of total travel

We need to be able to INPUT a distance with jump drives. Currently we can only select the % of total travel. Many times when going after Factorum I want to go a specific distance and have to select the closest I can with the % on my toolbar then travel the last 20 km. It seems that you can get a little better by going into the jump drive and manually moving the percentage to get a little closer but you still need to travel to your final point.

We can [ctrl] select so many other values, why not Jump Drives? Have it as part of the pop up when you select to jump or let us put it into slider in the jump drive.

Jump Drive distance refinement

Jump drives should be able to set a distance we want to travel. The % of total jump slider doesn't have enough accuracy which causes us to jump and then travel to our final destination.

Jump drives should be able to set a destination and set a distance to jump short or long of the destination. No one is going to want to jump on top of a Factorum encounter so let us set the encounter in the jump drive destination and let us set a value to jump short or long that we can specify. This becomes more of an issue when we have more jump drives because the slider increments increase as the total jump distance increases. This causes you to land well short or long from where you want to be.
