Does anybody remember how to set the option for ship fueling to occur automatically when you land??
Must be something wrong with me tonight. It must be here somewhere..

In the new ui you have to open the fuel window when you are low on fuel. I wonder if new players are less likely to find it.

Glad you found it.
Consider the prevalence of the use of the 'All' button, auto-fuel is far less important these days. Also, we will not be adding 'auto' for any other services.

Maybe it is just me, but when I am traveling, I have quite a lot of stops where the only thing I need to do is refuel. So I turn on auto-refuel at the start of the game, click once to land, click once to take off. Do you have analytics on how many new users (who started after this UI was introduced) even found the auto-refuel button?

So many beautifully crafted pieces of the UI. I had not noticed the little square in the right side top of the icon to open the fuel section and turn auto on. It might be artwork, it might be a live control. Young Frankenstein would have said "It's alive!". Yes the "All" button was a huge breakthrough. Keeps you informed but not complacent, just mashing buttons without thinking. A delicate artistic balance. I'll switch off the auto fuel and stay with the All button. It's really terrific getting to see how much everything is going to cost all on one pop-up panel. It's fun to explore. So many things have "hover over" now. I remember our first vid producers meeting. We all started asking about how this or that worked on the existing interface. Both of you were saying things like this is just a basic bare bones, we have allot of work to do, or something like that. Talk about the understatement of the decade! Great work, sprinting for the finish line. It is a new world. Thanks guys  P.S. Last night in the wee hours, I watched a movie called "Serenity", how's that for timing. |
