Don't count flags as 'flights in progress'

[Dave Kerbin]

This is probably the smallest feature request ever, but could the 'flights in progress' total on the load screen not include flags in that number, in the same way it excludes debris?

In a similar vein I wonder if there would be a good way to modify the tracking station so that flags are not by default shown in the list on the left. That's a bit harder, since I assume a lot of people still want to see the flags on the map. Could flags be on some kind of seperate tab or be sorted to the bottom with a seperator, so that they are still visible by default but not cluttering up the list of active space craft?

This is a great idea.

[Runboy]

Good Idea.Small,but good.

[rodion]

Yes, please make this happen.

I too would like to see this as well.

Better yet, have a Settings menu option that allows players to select which vessel types will count towards "Flights In Progress" for the load screen.

Awesome! They could still consider flags to be "ships" for the purposes of identification from afar, but exclusion from certain lists would be great.

[dazhat]

Yeah, a flag is quite clearly not a flight. Maybe they could give the number of flags planted though.

[Jacob01]

I agree, they shouldn't be counted as ships. They should just be shown in the game, with the number you have planted shown in the tracking station and on that little bar which comes down when you're in map view and lets you select which ships you see.

I am locking the thread because a simple search of "Flags Progress" would have shown you that thread which is a complete duplicate.

So feel free to continue the discussion on the original thread.
