Ship combat buttons switched??

[hlo]

v 1.1.13

Did someone switch the buttons of Advance and Retreat in the ship's combat UI? If I remember (my finger does) correctly, the Advance button used to be at the bottom instead of the Retreat.

If it was switch, it has cost me few of the bounty hunting commissions already!!!   Me the commuter player tends to click somewhat blindly.....

That was my idea. Sorry. Before, when you first encountered a ship, avoid would be at the bottom, but in combat, I'd keep advancing by accident. So I asked the Trese Bros if switching them made more sense-- didn't mean to wreck your contracts. ;_;

OK. No Problem.  Just about to call my doctor, I was sure hours ago that dementia was setting in at 46 years of age.  I'll get used to it in a few days. Not too big of an issue these days since I have close to 10000 silver, 200+ reputations for all 3 nations, and the Buccaneers have their ports open for me.

Please don't change it back now or I will be more screwed.

It didn't make sense the old way. The two buttons that do the same thing were not in the same place. It was too hard.

Sorry the change caught you, I put it as the first line with a big "NOTE" on it.

Just like the dev manager said when I was the greenhorn developer 13 years ago: you just blindly click the buttons without reading the message......

Exactly -- we're always thinking of the players. That's why we made this change.

Good luck!
