Quickslot options

[BlueSuede]

Hey everyone,

I have just one small suggestion for next updates.
If you could add option to adjust quickslot bar order or even better ability
to change key bindings it would be great!
Ability to group offensive items near each other would be great!
For example if you could put blaster on 1, sb on 2 and os on 3 on sniper.

What do you people think about it?
Small addition, but invaluable...

Just to clarify....

The ability to swap which item is linked to which number so when you swap ship to one with similar items you can assign the item with the number you have to match your previous ship?

If this is correct then also I like this idea!

 

[BlueSuede]

Yeah, basically enable drag&drop on icons, game would remember configuration you set up for each
ship you have.

Nice idea indeed, think many would love it.
Sadly, this idea has been suggested several time already yet never a clear answer was given by the devs why they won't or can't implant it in game. So for now we can only suggest and hope hehe

Can you imagine the bug storm that a change like that will generate?

 

[BlueSuede]

It should not because it's very basic.
It's so basic you can do it by reassigning keys on you'r keyboard.

Could GMs contact developers so we can hear their opinion at least?

 

[HGus]

It is basic from the player point of view, as you say, only reassigning slots...

But from the server side, it needs to keep track for every user configuration, in a form even more complicated than the current multi-configuration for ships... the database should be changed more often, and in some cases deal with extra checkings for user mistakes, as when you could forget to assign a slot for collector or repair droids, rushing for other aggressive items...

 

[BlueSuede]

You cant forget to assign as drag and drop would just swap icons, so you cant remove one from bar.

Why should it be put on server side?
All other personal settings are saved on client side. If you reinstall game you have to make same changes again as they are lost.
These changed keymaps should be also saved on client side like other settings.
That way it would not give any bigger load to the server.

ok, let's add some new key bindings too:

Activating drones.
Activating gravis.
Opening the chat window (currently Enter is only for chat prompt)
F1 to F4 for top bar windows (profile, buddies, squad and clan)

 

[BlueSuede]

I agree,
So many things could be made to improve game experience with just a little effort.
Can we please hear opinion from developers?

I support this idea as well, the default keybinds on some ships are very annoying.
