not sure if its been suggested before but would really like a attack button next to target button on battle tab, you would still need to target to use artys etc as normal and to alert legion on ones that can be but if you just want to attack a ship or npc it will stop the need for the popup.
sure you wont get to see damage done and taken but if you really want to see that then click target and proceed as it is now

+1 especially when most of the NPCs take a couple hits to die

I'd even like to see a quick use bar or something where it's Nanodromes, Shield Restorers, and Null Fuse. Some such like that

Like this?

doesn't need as much info as just the attack button next to target would do as you can then still click taget if you want to know the rest like npc's attack, defense etc so it takes a lot less to put into the game

would sure save a few clicks and popups

+1 x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

This would be so epic and reducing the click per NCP by 3. No one like extra clicking.

Fixed....

But 100% in approval.

Me likey.

Means updating the entire battle page every time you hit something. Imagine 1000 players all doing that at the same time. Gunna be as laggy as hell.

how is that any different to when you've killed a npc via the popup we have now?

if anything the lack of needing to bring the popup up may lower the load on the server, there would also be no need for the images in the popup to be loaded as you will see your shields / hull go down on the bars for them which is already happening but is hard to see through the popup.

No, you'd have to refresh the entire battle tab to get the status of each NPC. Opening the pop-up is different in that it only gets the status/information of one NPC.

It could be done different;y, but I'm certain Dan wouldn't put in the amount of work required, just so you can skip a click or two while NPCing.

How is that different to what it is now?
Each time you attack it still have to update.

You could just have the *Disabled* until you refresh.

And if the coding makes it so you can't just have a 1 slot refresh.
Get rid of the components like the hull amount ect.

I don't care about status or time left.
I just want an attack button.

It would make the game better.

~JF~

same here, we can still click target if needed for that info

It'd work, I guess. I also see no reason why Dan would not be able to make it only update that NPC, though it is a bit of work if we had status bars.

+1

And then all we need to do, is place an auto-clicker above the attack button, and go watch TV for a few hours!

And get stopped cold by one of these new boses!

No, u get a attortith and then u come back, there is a whole bt of repair ships!
