Guest Ron Wallin Posted January 20, 1999 Report Share Posted January 20, 1999 Now that I spend 95% of my time in the TacOps view, I've found that I miss two things: ACM Status and mouse access for the Perscan Computer. Yes, I could go back to the Bridgeview or use the keyboard, but in TacOps the mouse reigns supreme (at least the way I play).Cmdr. Akira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mojo Posted January 20, 1999 Report Share Posted January 20, 1999 Please disreguard. Was running my mouth way off topic. Will refrain from posting after heavy amounts of caffine.

Guest mtowle Posted February 5, 1999 Report Share Posted February 5, 1999 I would like to see hot-keys for all the command order menus, using the mouse can be clunky and time consuming, where a few precise ketstrokes can save time. Just use the first letter of each command going deeper and deeper into the layers, use numbers for the targets, if there are multiple ones.

Pandora Posted February 5, 1999 Report Share Posted February 5, 1999 First you need a hotkey to enable the menu in the first place. That is, the BC, IC1-4, ATV1-4, probes, current target, systems, etc., etc... And what about Tacops? You need to select a target *before* you can do any menu ops so you'll need a menu system for that, too.In short: don't hold your breath.Maybe something will happen in BC3020 but I can't even *guess* at what would be a good system because I don't have the feature list, much less a running version.I do agree that keyboard operation would be a cool thing - especially for the frontend modules. I could at last write a keyboard macro for the dummy stuff like assigning 10 marines to search duty or switching half the crew on/off duty. No need to code fancy shift procedures and the hotkeys aren't used in the frontends anyway so I could fill up the whole keyboard with special assignments, loadouts and whatnot. <g>Pan, Lead Tester BC3000AD writing at 20:00 Bavarian Time (GMT+1) on 5 Feb 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
