[Request/Suggestion] Easily accessible Repair / Clear 'Failed Orders' commands

Post by Metran » Sat, 20. Apr 24, 18:32

I'm probably not the only one who finds it annoying, when having to send your ships off to repair (when not assigned to a Fleet Carrier) or wanting to get rid of all accumulated "Failed Orders", having to go through each and every ship one by one:
  • Actions needed in case of sending ships to repair:
    1. Select Ship(s) to repair.
    2. Right-click on Shipyard, Wharf, Equipment Dock, Fleet Carrier or Support Ship(?).
    3. Click "Upgrade" - the station or ships Build screen comes up.
    4. Click the Repair tab.
    5. Select Ship(s):
      • click on ship to mark for repair, or
      • If multiple: In top panel select ship class and model - listed as [# of ships]x [ship model]
    6. Mark ship(s) for repair.
    7. Click "Ok".
  • Actions needed in case of removing Failed Orders:
    1. Select Ship.
    2. Open the ship's Behaviour tab.
    3. Locate the "Failed Orders" section (may need to scroll down a bit depending on the amount of queued orders).
    4. Click "x" for each order present.
What I'm proposing is "Repair" and " Clear 'Failed Orders' " commands be readily available from the Right-Click menu when one or more ships is selected on the 'Owned Property' tab on the map. Repair option being available when right-clicking an appropriate station or ship and "Clear 'Failed Orders'" when Right-Clicking the Ship or selection of ships.

On the topic of "Failed Orders" it would also be nice if there were a Global Setting to disable generation of Failure Orders, as well as on a Ship level setting.
