Mid-screen Popup-notificators in wrong order

Ok, do you know when you fly up to a solar system, then it says "Enter the ~ system" or, if you fly up to a deep-space enemy it pops up a button to click if you want to join the fight? Or, like on ground missions when you approach a panel it says "lower force field" or something like "Open Crate"?

Well, sometimes if you are near multiple objects, it will pop up multiple buttons. sometimes, I come running/flying in fast and am trying to be quick about it, so I see the button pop up on the screen saying "Enter the system" So I move my mouse over and click it, only to find that a different button got in its way at the last second, like If I was near a deep-space battle, then that button pops in its place. I therefore end up accidentally clicking the wrong one instead, thus causing it to load, me to get mad, and then I have to quit that lvl and fly back to select the right one. My computer can barely handle the game due to constant "Server Not Responding" messages or the like, and I dread to think of how people with cheap computers must handle this.

I think that the first button that pops up should STAY on the bottom, and any new ones, such as deep-space battles, or take items...etc., should pop up above the 1st one, in order. that way, If I originally want to click the 1st one, I dont have to move my mouse to follow it as it raises up the list [especially if I move near a bunch of items or panels or something]

    Well to me it's the whole sector space thing...sector space should have been navigated from the Bridge of your ship, Contacting Starfleet or other ships was put up on the view screen, the ability to have yellow and Red alerts at the captains discretion etc....I just can’t see how they ever thought what was implemented was a good idea.

    ya, the 3D 3rd person view is a lil "non" trekkie, however, i dont know a single star trek game that doesnt have a view similar to this.
    and, that isnt the point I was trying to make. i meant its annoying when the popup buttons move around instead of stay where they were in the 1st place.
