Transponder Check on System Entry/Exit
« on: February 09, 2018, 09:52:02 PM »
Pretty simple - when you get to a hyperspace gate, instead of just "Go through, will cost this fuel" and "leave" menu, you're given the option between:

1:Keep on/Turn on transponder and go through
2:Turn off/keep Transponder off and go through
3:Leave

While this won't apply for transverse jumping, it would be very useful for casual entry and exit of systems, so you can avoid a lot of the transponder issues people can have.

Yes please! Its so frustrating to forget your transponder is off after a long sensor package mission and lose the rep gain you just earned.

Damn, I'm really irritated by loosing rep, because I'm just always forgetting to turn it on, that is specially fun when you jump into the center of Diktat fuel system and trying to run from detachments, holy... Would be nice to see proposed feature implemented!

Don't tell me I'm playing anything wrong in a singleplayer sandbox game. Just don't.
