Cargo Control Menu/GUI
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 1:19 am
A few cargo missions ago, having reached an impasse that I didn't want to deal with, I switched my left screen over to the cargo hold and dumped my load a few thousand km out. Thinking a bit more about how cargo was loaded and unloaded, I realized that this could be an issue; depending on how cargo was organized in your ship (something that the player has no control over), the player could unintentionally dump the wrong cargo (dump the cargo worth millions of credits instead of the contraband). What if there was a basic GUI to control cargo ingame? Perhaps even an option to lock (enable/disable dumping or selling), hide (50% chance of fooling scanners; useful for fooling pirates or in-system security), or dump cargo using the Shift-M GUI?
