Game interface

Here's one issue for you

By default the Torps are all set to long range slow speed..

Now I tend to get close and shoot high speed fairly exclusively...

Because of the defalt setting I have to reset all of the load Torps to high speed clicking each indivdually using that lousy low high interface....

That's an example of interface issues...

Would really be nice to have a toggle to set the default to high speed... Now if I want to chance a long range shot on a an idiot who doesn't know what Zig Zag means I can..

A few others like this could really make the game more enjoyable.

Here's one more...

You sight a target and swing your Deck gun onto to it... Would be nice if your range setting would be fairly close to dead on say a few hundred yards = or -.. Instead your guessing and wasting precious rounds trying to bracket.... Perhaps a window with an overhead view showing your water splashes short or long allowing you to adjust.. Again these could be options or crutches for learning players that the purists could switch off...

I still think the battle damage control window is totally lacking in adequate data to manage there tasks. Damage seems never to reduce on some items until poof it's fixed... Prioritizing your crews efforts is a captains decision.. You wanna fight some more or go and hide for a while to fix up systems you may employ when you reengage.. The way it is now your hard pressed to determine what is being fixed and when it will be available... I can here you now.. that's the way it was...

Well yes but part of this game is to make you feel like your efforts can change things and the outcome.. If indeed you sink even if you repair and slink away.. well ...



The bright side of this game is that these and so many other issues are within reach of the modders..

Neal what I'd like to see is some commo about what UBI plans to fix in the next mod and when they plan to leave this baby beind on the street for strangers to feed clothe and rear...:rotfl:
