Another needed Cap Ship Feature--undo chosen ability within 10 secs.

November 5, 2009 9:45:10 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

 

I want to suggest yet another capital ship feature to the developers.  I'd like the abiity to UNDO a chosen capital ship ability within, say, 10 seconds of choosing the ability, because sometimes I accidentally click on the wrong ability icon when leveling up.  (I wanted Shield Restore but accidentally selected Malice.)

I'm also annoyed when I choose Malice, and since it starts on autocast, it fires automatically right away, even when I'm not ready to use it. There goes that AM.

Idiot proofing.. novel idea, but ... something tells me that isn't going to happen. But yeah, that happens to me sometimes, especially in laggy MP games.

...and another thing.  It would also be great if the default for Autocasting of newly chosen capital ship abilities could be "Off" or if there were an option to choose whether it should be on or off.

Agree. I have been known to hit gravity bomb instead of nano... the beer has nothing to do with this....

Would be nice, but seems really unnecessary.  A lot of work for a very small problem.

Except then you have to level your ship to correct it. Which might be a problem if you cant pay for it because you cant colonize if you picked gravity warhead.

Its not major, but it can be irritating.
