UI - Quit to desktop from pause menu.

[Traches]

It's a small thing, but it's always been a pet peeve of mine when a game makes me click all the way back to the main menu to exit. KSP is a particularly bad offender: In flight -> Space Center -> Saved Game menu -> Main Menu -> Exit, with either a loading screen or a not-quite-short-enough animation between each.

My suggestion is simple, and while I'm no programmer I can't imagine it would be difficult to implement: Add a "quit to desktop" button to the pause menu.

That's all I have. Thanks Squad, and keep up the good work!

I'm using the X button. Or you can press Alt+F4. I heard it's safe in Space Center although I usually do it after I return to the menu.

it would be nice however I can see it now,

"please remove the quit to os button from the pause menu, I keep accidently clicking it and have to reload my game all the time."

these would pop up all the time even if there was 30 confirmation boxes that popped up, kinda like the end flight button.

Yeah, I see this happening.

Quitting to desktop directly from the Space center would be nice, though.

You really think so? How often do you accidentally hit the other buttons in the pause menu? A single confirmation box would solve this problem anyway.

there was a confirmation box for the end flight button, people sill complained. that was fixed sorta when the revert flight buttons were added.

From Space Center would be nice. The problem with alt-F4 is the lack of confirmed autosave.

That's the kerbal selection: those who lose their ship can't tell their knowledge to their "student" while those who don't lose their ship transmit their knowledge.

We notice that, over a long period, the frequency of the "lose ship" population go down whereas the frequency of the "don't lose ship" population become higher.

I'm not sure what you mean by confirmed autosave but I have checked just now that the game updates persistent.sfs immediately when you switch to Space Center.

What i'd like is the ability to go to the Tracking Station after a crash...

Maybe a way of doing this could be to have the quit to desktop option available any time you can quicksave. When you quit, it could do a quicksave and tag that save file with a "ask whether the user would like to resume" flag. Present a dialog when that save is next loaded, and you can bypass the KSC screen to go directly to the last flight.
