Transponder auto turn setting for core systems
« on: October 24, 2020, 09:36:33 AM »

EDIT: I had a mod issue, suggestion isn't relevant to base game, can be removed.

Having to manually turn on transponder each time I visit a core system sucks.
Can't we have a setting for allowing to auto turn it for such systems?

But it currently asks you if you want to turn it on before jumping in... There's a feature for exactly that already. Unless I misunderstood your post.

It only asks if you are clicking the entry point. It doesn't ask when you lay down the course to the destination

Your transponder state doesn't matter before you jump into the system (for illegality), so why should it prompt you to activate at a point where turning it on is all downsides?

Not sure if you are asking me, but it doesn't seem like a good place to ask, as it seems to be irrelevant to my suggestion

He said your suggestion wouldn't make sense since you'll just be gimping yourself. When you're in hyperspace no one cares if your transponder is on. And we already have a feature that prompts you to turn it on when you enter places where it actually matters if it's enabled or not. How is that irrelevant to your post lmao?

I guess the meaning of relevance is lost on you, either you still didn't read my initial post.

Anyway, I had a mod changing the behavior, looks like this suggesting isn't relevant to base game, can be removed.
