Simple little additions


Recommended Posts

Hi! i'm sure I'm not the first to bring these about, but man they would be helpful;

  • Ability to go straight to the tracking center from a probe/rocket
  • Ability to rename vessels from the tracking station (if probe has power/is able to be renamed)

Im not sure if these are possible, but they would make everyone's lives so much easier.

Thanks!

I've never understood why renaming a craft was tied to the power it had in the first place. If I point at a thing and say "that is a television", I don't expect somebody to come smack me and shout "you can't call it that! It's not plugged in!" I agree on both counts

EDIT: Then again, what is the map view but a less omnipresent version of the tracking station?

You can already rename a craft from tracking station. It is just a not very obvious function so not a lot of people figured it out.

When you click on a craft on the list and focused on it, on the right side of the screen you can see the icon of the craft, click on that and you see the craft info, including its name on an orange bar. Click the orange bar and you can rename it along with putting it into a different category if you wish. I think it even works without power.

It does. You don't even have to use the tracking center map. A clever fellow in General Discussions discovered that the Map View info panel works too (which makes sense, it would logically be the same code in a well-designed program).
