Scanning with a click

[Kali]

Lazy scum I am, I thought it would be cool to have scan buttons on the search-result page.

Like:
Search Results (20 total results, max 30 per page)
ID Rank Tag Owner Company Acres Valuation SCAN
3767 755 B 22 The Bots 1,381 £154,075,763 D F H S
2730 768 B 12 The Bots 1,374 £140,327,407 D F H S
9878 775 B 32 The Bots 1,334 £137,988,290 D F H S
3161 737 B 28 The Bots 1,275 £174,302,969 D F H S
3349 771 B 31 The Bots 1,166 £139,601,630 D F H S

This way you would only have to click on D F H S (Drive By, Fly Over, Haxor, Spy) to get the scan for the account.

But then again, maybe its just lazy me.

Re: Scanning with a click

I wanted to make the suggestion that the results on a search page should also be given in list format, so that it is easier to copy them into the intel page. The way you've suggested it, you would only be able to do one scan at a time right?

Re: Scanning with a click

would make my life so much easier not having to press Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V. All the time.
good idea =D

Re: Scanning with a click

I think it has already been suggested in the past, and shot down because of it being too easy and requiring no more effort to play or in this case gather intelligence. Might aswell have one big red button on which you click and it kills everyone else?

Anyways, maybe a nice suggestion for Nobreakspace?

Re: Scanning with a click

We had exactly this feature in Timster's site and it was really nice.

The comparison you are making Maxi is a bit exaggerated.

Re: Scanning with a click

That's the whole point of the comparison f0xx, where do we draw the line in making things 'easier' for the user?

Although I agree that an addition like this wether it be Bush or Nobreakspace integrated would be very nice.

Hmm... you are right actually and while I agree with the suggestion I can see what you mean too.

I've always found it quite tedious that I must have the search page opened in one window and then the intel page opened in another and manually copy/paste the IDs from the search to the intel. I do believe this suggestion will have biggest impact on newest players though as vets are already used to the routine of hacking/spying/flying over.

It probably will be added at some point when I go over adding random "nicities" to the game (ie "pointless but handy/useful" features). It's a feature I agree with.

I'm mildly disappointed with that to be honest. I don't see why intelligence should be made any easier. It's not like tabs haven't made intel pretty easy anyways....

Ooh nice, I remember Azzer being *against* this last time, on the old forums.

Exactly, all it's doing is emulating tabs - making user interface easier is not the same as making the game easier (in most respects, though obviously sometimes/some areas it verges more towards "automation" than "interface"). Tidying up the interface, modernising it for the modern day and younger web user, is definitely a positive thing in a lot of areas for continuing to bring in new customers.

Re: Scanning with a click

I think this is also something that addons could easily do, so dont really see reason why it couldnt be implemented in game code.

Re: Scanning with a click

But dont forget not everyone can have an Addon or know about it
