Hi,
I've just noticed that, when you open the ship menu and click an upgrade (mine was sensors level 2), if you switch to another tab (I went to equipment) and then go back to the upgrades tab, you can see that the previously clicked upgrade has been automatically confirmed.

Happened again.
If you select an upgrade, switch tab (crew or equipment) and then turn back to the upgrades' tab, what you selected before has now been automatically accepted

Out of curiosity, what would the expected behaviour in this situation be?Orso wrote:Happened again.

(Not saying it's not suboptimal, I'm just curious what a better design would be.)

Cancel of course, as long as the changes are not explicitly confirmed by the player.

Re: [Bug] Automatic confirmation of upgrades
I'm not quite sure this would be the right behaviour either, though - if you're upgrading systems, switch to look at your weapons, then switch back, you may notice that you have more scrap and not realise that your changes were reset.boa13 wrote:Cancel of course, as long as the changes are not explicitly confirmed by the player.
My initial thoughts were either to disable the other tabs (forcing you to click on either "accept" or "undo" to go to another tab) or to internally store the "temporary" state of the upgrades so that upon switching back, you're still able to undo them.

Re: [Bug] Automatic confirmation of upgrades
Those were the way I thought it should have been, and for this reason I opened the thread.Icehawk78 wrote:[...]to internally store the "temporary" state of the upgrades so that upon switching back, you're still able to undo them.boa13 wrote:Cancel of course, as long as the changes are not explicitly confirmed by the player.
I didn't accepted the upgrade; I've just selected a possible upgrade and switching tab automatically confirms it instead of keeping my choice in memory ( I think that undo and accept buttons are there for some reason
)Anyway, I know it isn't a serious bug, maybe not even an annoying one, but making devs aware of it, is the first step if they want to improve the game and make it -a bit- better.
And if they don't, at least this thread will be a warning for other players
