Grouping the Houses/Syndicates Together

[Officer Genious]

Not so much a wish as a suggestiion, but anyway...

I was thinking that it would be neater and clearer to simply group the six factions shown when starting a new game into two big buttons-- one for Houses and one for Syndicatess. As they are, they're six buttons with six descriptions (one for each faction) despite only representing two actual choices-- all three Houses or all three Syndicates.

It's a bit disconcerting to be given six choices but really having two options. So what I suggest instead are just two big buttons-- one for Houses and one for Syndicates, still listing all the factions within and descriptions (I understand why they're there) but without grouping them seperately.

In other words...


It looks like this right now, with the "--- word ---" representing individual buttons:

---
House Thulun
---
Clan Javat
---
Steel Song Clan
---
De Valtos Syndicate
---
Syndicate Rychart
---
Cadar Syndicate


I suggest this:

---
House Thulun
Clan Javat
Steel Song Clan
---
De Valtos Syndicate
Syndicate Rychart
Cadar Syndicate
---

Nope, don't think that's the right change for this screen. You'll see why in the release that allows specific faction picks.

Haven't had any complaints about it at all, metrics show people in Elite pick Houses regularly and then start games with only one visit to the pick screen.

Anyway, future will probably help make why it is better this way more clear.

Thanks for the feedback.

Wait, you're planning on specific faction picks? Oh, my bad.

And I wasn't saying that people would repeatedly visit the screen, but if I see six buttons, I would've expected six choices, but at the moment you're really given two choices. It simply didn't make sense to me why you would have so many buttons then until you mentioned mixing and matching factions.
