Special Ability Overflow

zinosumatra · 11-08-08, 12:37 PM

G'day, chaps. I've scoured the Internets and use the Google and have found one other post on this subject. Regrettably, the post that I found on Ubi's site did not have a relevant response.

I will quote the original post below, but the issue deals with having more special ability buttons than the toolbar allows. There is no apparent scrolling feature within the toolbar to deal with the overflow. As passive abilities are listed from left to right, followed by active abilities, my active ability buttons are obscured beneath the fuel, battery, etc displays, rendering them useless.

"Has anyone else found that you can have so many crew members with special abilities that they "fall off" the end of the special ability bar? It's a bit annoying to have a crew member with a special ability you want, then not be able to activate it..."

Thanks.

To follow up to my previous post, I have found two immediate, straightforward remedies to the issue. First, you can eliminate/retire crew that have less desired abilities from your roster. Second, increase the resolution on your video configurations in the options menu. I applied both approaches and increased the capacity of the task bar from 9 abilities to 14. I still had to prune a bit to get down to 14 abilities, but the objective was achieved. Hope this helps those with congruent concern.
