Small request - Convenient results

Post by Glaun »

Request to provide a drop down menu on the "How many Gate Jumps" box under the Hauler/Trade route runner section.The drop down menu would of course give a list of numbers to select jumps to be made.

For me it would make the travel routine just that little bit less routine. I hope this could be included in next patch if it is a simple cut and paste. I don't know programing and hope it is a simple thing to implement.

Thank You
Glaun

How is that any different from the way it is implemented now where you input the number of jumps in the text box?

Specific answer:
I won't have to hunt for my keyboard to enter my data. I can play using mouse only.

Comment:
It will greatly aid my laziness using the Hauler/Trade runner feature

Currently I sit in a Lazy Boy recliner using an optical mouse on the arm (no mouse pad) and a wireless keyboard. Often the keyboard winds up out of reach, so being able to select the number of jumps with the mouse would enhance this lazy mans method of play. Now I know this is important information to the TM Macro community, however, you did ask why.

In any event your program is a great ISK maker. My fully Rigged Mackinaw, using the fast Ice method of mining and having the high Ice skills and Ice Implants, I mine + or - 490 cube in 10 hours. (One account).

Thank you for considering the request

Since the number of jumps is variable, it's not practical to have a drop-down list with numbers from 1 to 50 or whatever the maximum number of jumps would be. If you find yourself often going on the same route you could always save it as a profile. Otherwise you'll just have to reach out for that wireless keyboard of yours. Of course there are ways to enter the values using only the mouse by employing the select-right click-copy-paste method. Hope this helps.
