Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.04.26 06:33:00 - [1] Right now if you press Ctrl and drag the cursor with the Leftmouse button.. [You get this] This Zoom window is whacked. There's a better way to zoom using the Rightmouse button anyways. Instead of this useless Zoom window when you press Ctrl. I propose this new and improve Selection Box feature. When you press and hold the Ctrl button and then leftclick in-space and drag the mouse. It creates a selection box! [As shown here] So once you drag your Selection Box around a group of entities and then release the leftmouse button. Depending on your targeting speed, you will eventually produce.. [This outcome]
Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.04.27 02:32:00 - [2] There's however a really cool Zoom feature. Steps below: 1) Rightclick and drag the mouse in space to desired area. 2) w/o letting go of the rightclick, click & hold both buttons. 3) Zoom in/out by dragging the mouse up and down. 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers..

Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.04.27 18:08:00 - [3] uh no.. That only works if you have no target. So once you get your first target, then that does not work any more. I still stand by the Selection Box feature. But if you really want to get serious. We should also add this feature on top of the original request. And the other feature i'm referring to. Ctrl+(doubleclick)leftmouse for insta targeting. So if you hold the Ctrl button in and double leftclick an entity on your Autoscanner. BAM!! It proceeds to target that entity. So if you hold the Ctrl button in and double leftclick an entity in the space view. WA BAM!! It also proceeds to target that object. Anyone apposed to quicker ways of establishing targets. You need to get out of the station more often. 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers.. Onboard navigational [Planetary Avoidance] computer.

Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.05.05 19:48:00 - [4] Here's another thing too.. You know we have that Look At feature which is pretty cool.. But I think it needs a 2nd option. A different way of looking at the target. And this is easy because this new way I'm talking about. It already exists! You know how when you hover the mouse over a target icon? How after a few seconds of hovering, the camera will change positions and start tracking that target? Well that Tracking camera view is pretty cool. But you can't really use it. I mean you have to keep the mouse hovered over the target icon if you want the camera to track the target. Once you move the mouse, the camera goes back to orbiting your ship. This is what we need.. We need a [Look At -> Track] option. So the camera gets locked in the tracking position for the object you specified. [Here's the Menu] 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers..

Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.05.22 23:17:00 - [5] Yeah.. I'm just saying that we will have to remove that icky zoom-box to make this new targeting feature. Hmm.. Better zooming feature. One cool zoom already exists. But another cool zoom would be something intergrated into the scanner window. Something that allows you to probe space. Dunno though. 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers.. Onboard navigational [Planetary Avoidance] computer. My account will be suspended at the end of the current play period. Expires on 19.

Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.05.24 01:11:00 - [6] That would suffice. Originally by: Neko Makai 3 WORDS. Auto targeting Module. Of course its rare, and ive never had one. But dont u think that could work? No.. That has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Different subject all together. About the Ctrl+L for lock.. I use Ctrl+L to open the Log window. But adding a hotkey for Lock-Selected would be alright. Think I suggested that a few months ago as well.
Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.06.03 18:16:00 - [7] Well what I meant was.. I'm talking about the user interface. Hmmm.. I couldn't get this named Auto Targeter to auto target NPC ships anyways. I had a pet Blood Raider orbiting my ship at 2km.. He was shooting at me constantly. I made sure he was not targeted, then I activated the auto targeter, and nothing happened. 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers.. Onboard navigational [Planetary Avoidance] computer.

Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.06.19 08:47:00 - [8] Yup.. That would be cool.. With two types of "Look At" options. One for orbit and one for track. You could orbit the camera around one thing, then track another thing. Would be hecka cool. 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers.. Onboard navigational [Planetary Avoidance] computer.
