Tradecom

[Joel Schultz]

Is there any way to quickly increment and decrement units being bought/sold in Tradecom (or in Logistix cargo management for that matter)? Like in increments of 5 or 10 rather than 1?

[aramike]

Nope. Just hold the button.

[Rico Jansen]

Yes, like Aramike said. But you can still get it to go your way. In a sense. ... I noticed the 'increment speed' increases with the time you keep the button pressed.

I noticed that too; it does help speed up transfers of large numbers of units.

I just can't stand that high-pitched peeping noise it makes while it's busy transfering units of stuff. Filling up the fuel tank gives me a headache unless I kill the volume. I don't know what other sound it could make that would be better, though. I bought the game, so I gotta put up with it, huh?

Heh. Only sound I dislike more is the sound of a missile locking onto me, but that's a different story altogether.

You can stop the missile lock sound by putting your radar in passive mode -- press the R key.

Hehe, I think he meant it more along the lines of the missile actually locking on him. Not so much the sound.

I know...

Well... about TradCom, I use 1 trick:

Go in the control panel, open the accessibility control (or something like that) and activate the mouse keys. Normally, a small logo should appear in the system tray saying if it is activated. Using the numpad 5 you can click. You still have to click 2000 times to load 2000 radine in a shuttle, but it hurts less for the finger.

Sorry, forget about my ignorance, but I didn't knew how fast buying and selling was when you wait enough...

Damn it helps...
