Clicking on base in the geoscape opens basescape
« on: October 16, 2013, 05:19:55 pm »
It would be nice to have direct access to the basescape when clicking with the right mouse button on a base in the geoscape. Especially when you have some 6-7 bases this would make navigating through your different bases less tedious.

I wouldn't say it's a tedious process now seeing as you can just click on the base option on the right and then flick through all your bases. Especially if you have lots of bases it makes more sense doing this option then finding them on the globe and then clicking on them there.

Left clicking each base gives the very nice functionality of bringing up that bases craft for interception missions while right clicking on geoscape centres the map on the clicked location which is also very useful. It could be annoying to right click to move the map and then accidentally click on the base and have that load up.

true, but perhaps the interception window opened by the left click could simply feature an additional button "open base view"? or perhaps a right-click on a craft in the interception window could jump to the corresponding base's base view? that would also enable you to quickly jump to the base of that one interceptor in the global interception window that doesn't have full ammo because the ammo stores of the base were empty... :)

Boy we've been on a real "jump to" spree lately haven't we?

Sorry someone's already used that up to "jump to" crafts on the globe. :P

darn. :P hmmm... the intercept window lists the craft, its status, the crafts home base and the loadout. perhaps right-clicking on the craft name could jump to the craft, and right-clicking the base name could jump to the base? with hovering highlighting either text string in yellow, so you get a visual clue that these two are "special" and can be right-clicked on?

then again, maybe this is really jumping too much. kangaroo time! :P
