Title: Remember active base when in Geoscape
Post by: Solarius Scorch on January 25, 2014, 04:02:04 pm: I have four X-Com bases: A, B, C, D. I do something in base B, then I leave to the Geoscape screen. But when I click on the "Bases" tab in Geoscape, it always opens base A, not base B.

It would be nice if the game remembered which base was active last, then opened the same base when you click on "Bases". It would save us a lot of clicking, and also some confusion.

Do you think this can be done easily, guys?

And/Or dedicated icons on the left of the globe, something like this: https://imgur.com/BZECj1J

This is useful, but it doesn't exactly solve the described problem. Besided, X-Com is a mouse-oriented game, so using the keyboard for quick navigation is somewhat inefficient.

An excellent idea. Please consider this.

I like that, too. As an option, of course, but I'd use it :)
