Add Link to Game Pause Menu

[Castille7]

I would like to Suggest a link be added to the Game Pause Menu

Reason: When entering the Tracking Center to research a Crafts Status and then exiting to check the Status on another Craft we have to reenter the Tracking Station again rather than being returned back in the Tracking Station to select the next Craft

Here's what the Menu could look like

Actually, for switching vessels, you simply go into Map View by pressing M, click the target vessel, then switch to it. Having a Tracking Center button in the pause menu would just make it larger and probably wouldn't be clicked very much.

This is often very tricky in crowded orbits; you can't zoom in enough to select the craft you want.

I think the OPs suggestion is a good idea. I'd take it further; having to go via the KSC screen and deal with multiple loading pauses whenever you want to switch buildings is a pain. What I'd like are toolbar buttons for a "direct to building X" in all of the KSC building screens, and similar functionality hidden in the pause menu in flight.

That's a point, but most of the time, your orbits won't be that crowded. Also remember that you can filter orbits by moving your mouse to the top of the screen and disabling types of vessels you don't want to show up.

The developers have worked a lot on optimizing the space center, and the loading times really aren't very long anymore. On the topic of waiting, I think that the time it takes to get to other planets with full timewarp is a much more serious issue than a second or two for the space center to load.
