Default Re: Want new buttons?

I agree something needs to be done. Imo the whole cargo handling aspect of SE4 is way to crude. I mailed MM a very long email with lots of suggestions some time back (before the game was released) that included a more advanced model of handling cargo based on the way it's done in Stars! I also posted it at the SE4 center board as it was before I found this board.

Basically my idea was to copy Stars! cargo handling system as it's imo the best I have ever seen.

Something that is really bugging me in the pbem sim game I'm playing is the inability to tell my mine/sat layers how many mines/sats to deploy. It's all or nothing. So if you only want to deploy 50 out of 200 mines you have to have 2 ships. One to carry the mines and one to deploy them. Most annoying and difficult to achieve the way the game is going.
