Title: Additional button for interception
Post by: clownagent on October 02, 2013, 09:22:44 am
Whenever you click on a UFO on the geoscape or a new UFO is detected you have two choices: "Cancel" and "Zoom on UFO - 5 sec"

It would be nice to have a third button "Intercept" which brings you directly to the interception menu.
With the third button we could save some unecessary clicking especially when you have several UFOs detected at the same time and have to divert your interceptors to different UFOs. Then, everytime I click on an UFO to check the type again, close the window, go to the interception menu, click an interceptor and on the UFO again.

It would be extremely helpful in this case if not only the interceptor name is displayed but also the base where the interceptor is located. Otherwise it would be rather difficult to distinguish which interceptor/lightning/firestorm to send.

And I would suggest sorting the Interceptors in this "Intercept" window according to the distance from the UFO so you will have the closest ones at the top.
