Console Wish List Unofficial Megathread

Hi, I'll start off with a few things off the top 'o my noggin:
  • Ability to customize power levels
  • Option to change space controls from inverse
  • One button access to inventory screen
  • Once in inventory screen, able to hit right or left to go to next line of items
  • Full customization of controller buttons (I'd like to change re-distribute shields to something other than hold down left stick which really sucks when you're also trying to use left stick to move in the heat of battle.)
Alright guys, add anything else we need. Lets keep it constructive!

    How do you name your own thread a megathread? A thread becomes a megathread naturally. And from a new player/forum user no less.

    Some kind of hubris.

    I'd like to offer...

    ability to buy account bank slots
    All ships consoles working. ie. VATA.​​
    My mother always told me to walk away from a fight, The Marines taught me how.
  • Thought of something: Chase camera setting for space. They have it on PC, camera setting that stays directly behind your ship with you. Great for escorts and staying on target with dual heavies.

    My wishlist:
    • Camera - Adjust distance via slider
    • Camera - Space - Chase camera on/off via button press (preferably left stick click)
    • Camera - Remember previous settings
    • Mini Map - Zoom option. It's mostly useless currently
    • Map - Ability to set active missions by clicking on area
    • Options - Allow remapping of all buttons
    • Options - Ground Combat - Lock on NEVER selects friendlies during combat
    • Options - UI layout. Arrange elements on screen to my own preferences
    • Tailor - Save uniform option (so it can be immediately added to crew members)
    • Tailor - Save Face & Body options to update other slots
    • Hold X menu (PS4) - Shortcuts to Missions and Inventory
  • Here's a new one: Carrier Commands. Currently MIA. Next, reduce the size for lock box grand prize ship announcements. It's freaking huge, takes up a third of the screen and it's obnoxious.

    • Easier comparisons between equipment. Think Neverwinter: a phaser that does 100 DPS should say +10 DPS when compared with one that does 90 DPS.
    • The ability to "lock" items from sale would be nice. One I have a nice EVA suit or set part I hate the idea that if I'm not careful they could be inadvertantly vendored off. A way to protect these by hiding them from the sales interface would be nice.
    • A "local players" menu would be great. There have been many times where I've seen an impressive looking ship, want one, but don't know it's class or build. A "local players" menu in Spacedock and other places would present a list of players in the vicinity so you can communicate easier, as well as page through and look at the ships and info about what class they are, equipment etc. That would be an aid in letting people know how they compare, and what's worth seeking out or buying.

    From what i read about consoles here it sounds like cryptic rushed this out only half finished. A lot of basic stuff you are missing that we take for granted here in PC.

    Thats su cks.

    Yes; I'd suggest a fouth "Zoom Relative" option, which always zooms in close enough that your ship physically appears the same size onscreen whether it's a Galaxy Dreadnaught or a Shuttlecraft, and have that size adjustable via a slider in the options.

    Currently Zoom, when it works, is not relative: the camera moves a set distance away, so big ships can appear way too big and cover the screen, while shuttlecraft are mere pixels where it's impossible to see where they're facing.
  • "Easier comparisons between equipment. Think Neverwinter: a phaser that does 100 DPS should say +10 DPS when compared with one that does 90 DPS."
    Awe yeah, that's crucial. Click on new item for slot should show side by side with old item to compare stats.

    Expanding on the Neverwinter comparison, Neverwinter automatically pops up a second panel showing the relevant slot with/out equipped item for comparison. Might be too much info for Away team gear, but ship gear and Captain specific gear could handle it.
