|
|
| This is just a thought, but could we have a little screen that popped up that asked you if these were the right coordinates that you wanted to use, cause i just to shoot a probe into space and it came out as a wait of 4 days and 17Hrs and i had forgot to put a zero in the Y coords so it was probably going who knows were, but just a thought. |

Jack09 that is a great suggestion. 
I have done that many times. 
It is very annoying to have to destroy the probe and start over. 
I hope that Admin can add that.

nah.
you think this pop-up would make people recheck their inserted coords every time? i don't. it would just be annoying to see it ask confirmation every time i want to send my probe.
but. if a system could be implemented that checks the coords you have entered and warns you only when the numbers are too far from the average.
that would be helpful. |

Perhaps as a compromise a message could pop up saying what the nearest planet is to the coordinates you put in

we will do that, lets say: if it is further than 24 h flight, there will be a warning |
