This is a problem, and as more and more modules with abilities have been added its been getting worse, constantly having to realign the mouse to the ever shifting next interface button is iritating and the fact that if a module with ability is on the page it shifts so a click presses sell module, resulting in you having to press no and it sending you back to the begining. Basicly its a pain in the ass.

Hence I suggest that the arrows be moved from the bottom of each page to inline with the build module button but on the right hand side. The y co-ordinate for where the buttons are placed simply needs to be changed to the same co-ordinate as the build new module. This would result in the arrows staying exactly where they are no matter how many modules with activated abilities are installed on your ship

Dan, could you please implement a ninja patch for this. Literaly should take only a minuet to 5 minuets tops but would be very helpfull to players as the number of ability modules continues to rise.

Thanks.

+1 to this ... having to drop the legion comm to 'find' the page-turning arrows is also a pain.

another option / additional tweak ... having an explicit 'sell' mode separate from installing / repairing. the 'are you sure' warning can then only need to appear ONCE when clicking into 'sell' mode and not for each mod.

this would help to de-clutter the page and assist with the user-interface - increased vertical space between options and users only have to worry about half of the vertical buttons and are less likely to misclick. you already have the 'install new module' mode, so just copy the existing ship mod page as a new 'sell' mode and tweak what shows up in normal mode vs sell mode. when a module is broken, 'repair' would then appear in place of install in normal mode.

the 'arrows at top' can also be applied to the rest of the tabs (battle, planet, arti ...).

This has always bothered me a lot, but I never thought up an alternative. This is a quiick easy method that could solve the problem.
It is the most obvious when you are preparing for a scan blitz, where it can take over 5minutes just to equip all your sensors because of the inconvenient arrow placement
When you have a page full of ability modules too, it will cause the arrow to drop behidn the legion comm, which is another hassle.

I'm from an SSB and am the one who suggested this exact patch to Peticks in the first place.

Anybody who takes off Relays or Energy-Reducing Guns to Rank, or doesn't carry Decks for Invasion gear you only use for two seconds out of every day at best, knows this would be a huge time saver for that alone.

Anyway, excellent work on the graphics, hope this is implemented.

this may help re the time difference:

Go to energy.

Click Item ONCE.

It will switch to show all your relays from the top down.

Does for me at least.

Excellent idea Peticks (and Annabell). Simple and effective, just the way we like it.

Same here, this is a very annoying problem.

+1 from me.

I was in the conversation that I think lead to this suggestion going up. Please please Dan. Make it happen.

I like this idea but I would also like to see the idea of different ship builds from a drop down menu available but with certain restrictions for example can't change to a more defensive build if you have attacked someone in the last x amount of hours etc using this feature but you will always be able to switch them manually.

Not going to happen. It has been explained why on every single thread making this same type of suggestion.

thats a different suggestion that would require a lot more work if implemented. This requires maybe 5 minuets to locate and tweak the code, moving the arrows to the top rather than the bottom of the modules. Lets focus on trying to get dan to implement this rather than another bigger suggestion atm ;)
