Foundry Pop Ups In Sector Space.

Who decided this was necessary?

Why can I not turn it off?

I know how to look at foundry missions. Press L, click on the foundry tab.

All the regular missions I am not currently interested in don't pop up when I fly past it in sector space. Perhaps that should be a thing too.

    The top 3 system allows many more missions to be discovered than the Foundry tab allows (the search UI is notoriously limited). It has been a boon to the Foundry community, a rich supplement sector space, and a much requested item to get fixed.

    It's very necessary (for us to have fun in the most open and inclusive way possible. Seriously, we like this system.)

    Even so, it also has a hide button (triangle/arrow icon on the left hand side, just below the mission listing). :)

    Welcome back to the game, griggitz. You must have been away a very long time. The Foundry community asked for more mission visibility several years ago. And the developer's listened.

    very well. however;

    This is my reason why I would like an OFF button for this;
    If i want to look at foundry missions I'll just have to be the only one who uses the Foundry tab in my quest log.
    Reason A; avoiding the "top three"
    I loathe all least common denominator styles of decision making.
    Reason B; to spite the now even more messy and cluttered UI.

    Enjoy your day everyone.

    There is an "off button." Small triangle, lower left hand corner. It hides the top 3 mission listing (from there on too). You don't have to see it if you don't want to.

    Yes, it minimizes the top 3 system and I believe it will continue to minimize the top 3 system until you press the icon again. In effect, it turns the system off for you.

    I think the only further step Cryptic could take is minimizing that one remaining Foundry label along with the mission listings. But, that's a minor point even to your stated needs, (which are largely satisfied by existing UI options. Why the continued frustration? Isn't this a good outcome for the thread? You don't have to wait for a patch note for what is at least a compromise on what you originally wanted to see.)
