Quick Captain (re)Build

[jadraki]

Minor, minor request.

When I start a Captain on higher difficulty levels, I often die every 5 minutes. Usually I die 20+ times in a row if I am trying a different strategy, before I finally get a little ahead of the game.

Well, I get tired of paying the 'typing' tax to start my new captain.

(I know, I know, "spoiled GenXer.")

So two possible things I'd like to see, if they are easy to implement:

1) Turn on Autofill in the Captain Name box so that I can just type one or two letters and get my same recent name again. Maybe this is already possible--would be happy to find out that I am an idiot.

2) Allow some of sort saved game at the very beginning of the game, e.g., right when the quadrant screen pops up the first time and your ship is two AUs from it's favorite synd/house.

Thanks!

Just name them like clones. 1, 2, 3, 4.....

I know that's not a really helpful suggestion, but I do find it amusing.

Good idea to have a "quick fill" captain thing. Dunno how that will impact performance.

I have already suggested it a long time ago. My idea was that the new character form would remember the last information filled. It was rejected as it affects only tiny % of players and thus not worth doing.

I figured I wasn't the first. Nice to know I am in good company!
