Just a few things I've noticed so far, in no particular order.
Actual stuff that feels weird:
- Double clicking on a sig/anom in the scanner moves the camera there, but the animation could be a little faster without looking weird, I think. Scanning as quickly as possible is often key. More importantly, while regular camera control is affected by the 'stiffness' setting, the automatic movement isn't, and that feels a bit incongruent.
- Losing control of camera rotation while it's moving to a new position also doesn't quite feel right.
- Seeing as d-scanning is instant, I'm not sure what the purpose is of the green fade? Feels like there should be a less obtrusive way of showing 'yes you d-scanned'. Maybe this is a personal preference thing, but it looks a bit odd to me.
- If I detach both d-scan and the probe scanner from the map, how am I supposed to bring the map up again? The way I currently do it is to dock either window - bringing the map up again - then undock them to keep the separate map. Maybe I'm just being clueless but I don't see a different way to do it right now. Undocking these windows should probably add a "show map" button somewhere.
Small improvement requests:
- Please let us get rid of the default overview settings in the directional scanner. Being able to bind personal overviews to the first bunch of shortcuts would be awesome. Now my first personal setting gets bound to Ctrl-9 and that's not exactly a convenient keybind.
- Can't call this an actual problem since it depends on window positioning, but I really don't like the d-scan settings being partly on the bottom right now. I would love for these to be moved back up to the filters - there's not really any reason for them to be this far apart - or at least to have a setting to either have both on the bottom or the top.
I'm also hoping that resetting settings is no longer needed by the time this hits TQ. I'm not particularly looking forward to repositioning a thousand windows and changing fifty settings. No big deal on Singularity, but pls fix nonetheless.
Other than that, I'm extremely happy with the improvements so far. :) |
