Let Us Brows Ship Tree While In Queue

From my post on steam:

 

"Like the title states. It gets boring in the queue some times, and mind you I have the attention span of a gnat! :smiley:
 

 

Suggestion #4,321,476,890,098,000,001:
 

 

While the game is searching for a battle:

Please give us the ability to browse through the ship tree, as well as having the ability to refit ships not in the queue. I’m no programmer/game designer, so I’m not sure how difficult this would be to initiate.

Any other thoughts?"

It has been suggested many times before, and yes it would make a lot of sense doing anything else instead of looking at the timer.

 

But devs are not reading these forums anyway, so it’s a waste of time suggesting anything.

Well, you can always switch to all chat and spread your knowledge to the Aces asking questions… or simply alt-tab out and browse, read, play something else.

The game works in a semi-fullscreen mode, basically a borderless window stretched to the whole screen, cheap to alt-tab, shows in the background etc.

It even consumes less resources, you can limit the max framerate to 10 when not in focus.

But I don’t want to alt+tab.  I want to look at my ships :smiley:

But given the queue timing, I would be able to browse all three ship trees multiple times before I get a match. I usually tab out to another game, or drop by the forums.

Yes.

One step more would be to be able to fit and upgrade modules on ships not currently in the Q .  That would pass some time.

Suggested many times. Still +1. Maybe even the most suggested feature of any new player I ever met. It always comes up at least once, and elder players answer it with: ā€œit has been suggested many timesā€.

 

I do understand however, this might not be a quick hack, since it may need some more work in the GUI code itself.

 

Showing Loadouts read only on selected ships would also be nice.

Still a good suggestion bump.

Hello,

 

the suggestion is already known:)

Error, with all due respect.  This was posted on may 28th.  And you’re just now responding over two months later.  This is what I was talking about in the patch discussion thread (Which you deleted.) when I mentioned we most likely wouldn’t be getting a reply for ā€œat least a month or twoā€  in regard to many of us asking why many of us are being put on RU servers in Invasion mode we are in the US. 

I’m not trying to make trouble here.  I’m just illustrating my point.

So, now that we know that you guys know about this… is anything being done to change it, or . . . ?

As Error said: The suggestion is known. However, if it hasn’t been changed yet, it means that the developers have other priorities for the moment. So please be patient.
