Feature Requests / Re: Proposal: Cancel move while moving

Will the netcode allow for the feature to be implemented in single player if not in multiplayer? I do not think that confirming every action is a solution. Constant confirmations will be tedious, and the player will get in the habit of always immediately confirming everything, including mistaken actions, I suspect.

That is really cool. I'm glad to hear that it has already been coded up.

Feature Requests / Proposal: More detailed after mission summary

It would be nice to have a detailed summary after a mission of exactly what items, aliens, and craft are recovered from a mission site.

If you accidentally click in the wrong position, and a soldier goes running off a long distance where you don't want him to, you should be able to cancel the movement.

Feature Requests / Bug: Reaction fire costs the same regardless of fire mode

Snapshots reserve the same number of time units as full automatic, but when normally firing, they consume more. This is a bug, as there is no reason to ever use anything but the most powerful type of reaction fire. There needs to be some sort of tradeoff.

Feature Requests / Proposal: Autosell/Autobuy

I propose that autosell should also be able to automatically buy. The autosell button should be renamed to "maintain inventory" so that if for example, you use a rocket in a mission, your quartermaster will automatically restock if there are rockets on the market.

Feature Requests / Proposal: Show progress of items in productions screen

As far as I can tell, there is no indication of how long is left in building an item. It would be nice if there was an indication of what percent has been completed and there was an estimate for when the item will finish. Similarly, it would be nice to have an estimated time to completion for the research screen.

Feature Requests / Proposal: Right click to equip/unequip weapons

« on: September 23, 2007, 04:24:21 am »

I have been playing the game for a few days, and like it a lot. I have found that it is cumbersome to equip and unequip soldiers, especially when adding lots of little things like grenades and clips, because each item must be dragged onto a valid slot. I suggest that simply right clicking on an item will unequip the item when it is equipped. When it isn't yet equipped, right clicking will put the item into a reasonable default location.

For example, if no weapons are held in a soldiers hands, right clicking on a weapon will put the weapon in their hands. If the soldier already holds a weapon, and a weapon is clicked on the weapon will be placed in the holster if it will fit and in the backpack otherwise. Clips and grenades will be put in the belt or some other suitable place.
