Title: UFO Spotted intercept screen
Post by: wsmithjr on June 17, 2014, 04:49:56 am

I'm not sure when it changed, but I like the idea of once a UFO is spotted, you can immediately click "Intercept" and send an aircraft after it.  Seems very useful and much quicker ... except it isn't.  The problem is that you can't see where the UFO has been spotted, so if you have more than a single base, you don't know which interceptor is best to send after it so you need to click "Center on UFO" and then send an interceptor after the UFO the "old-fashioned" way.

Is there something we can do to give us a better idea of where the UFO was detected so that we can better pick an appropriate interceptor?  I don't have any specific suggestions, just that the "shortcut" to intercepting isn't much of a shortcut.

Thanks for listening.

"ufo spotted over [STR_REGION]" would help in many cases
