Some suggestions to the mission offering window. Playing Mobile not sure if some are different on pc.
1. [Offers/Current] Add ship cargo/passenger/prisoner overview as reference.
2. [Offers] Add visual indicators for required actions in the mission (e.g. orbital, CC, SC, exploration, unkown...)
During the firefly challenge it required a lot of readings to select fitting missions. But also in normal game that would help.
3. [Current] Add an option to remove a mission marker from the galaxy/quadrant map. Edit: Meant a active/inactive toogle switch
During the firefly any accidently selected or Story mission requiring a orbital/exploration was not doable but spammed the map with mission dots.
I think this option would be also for general gameplay to focus on certain missions.
4. [Offers/Mobile only?] bug or feature? At least kind of annoying. When selecting a mission in the list the list jumps up to the top. With a 4+ offer list you loose quick the overview which ones you have reviewed. Would be good if the list just stays wherever you scroll it to.
5. [Offers/maybe also current] Show both involved parties in the Mission selection list.

2. on the list
3. I'd suggest Action > Cancel instead.
4. Thanks, we can look into why it would do that.
5. Cool, could include Contact details at the bottom.

On this topic, there is a UI feature that I have wished since the first star traders and never dared to suggest because it seemed so obvious that I completely trusted you guys to already have it on your to do list  It would be great if on the mission offering screen, you could see where are the different steps of each mission on the galaxy map. This could be similar to the contact view, where selecting a contact shows you where he is on the quadrant map (although there again the galaxy map would be more helpful). On the mobile version of the mission offer screen, there is a greyed "minimize" button on the top right corner. It would simply be a matter of being able to click that button and see the galaxy map with a marker (or a zoom to the location, or a waypoint view) showing the next step of the selected mission. When accepting missions, I try to make sure they are more or less on the way of my current main objective. What I do now is looking at the missions on offer, trying to remember names of quadrants, closing the mission screen, opening the galaxy view looking for all those quadrants to check wich ones would make sense for me, going back to the mission offering screen. This is 8 taps (yes I actually counted them), and usually I have to do it twice because I forgot something on the way. Hope it helps, and sorry because it has probably been suggested already hundred of times. |

For existing active missions, what you want to do here is use the Galaxy Map with collapsed mission view.
