stx Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 When an aircraft is refueling or it is being repaired, in the Aircraft Equipment page no changes can be applied. It is not possible to switch weapons. If the Aircraft equipment screen is referring to a chinook, then the soldiers cannot even be repositioned in the plane! I find this feature a bit annoying, but it's no big deal. A few times I've tried to switch plane weapons or order chinook soldiers and nothing happened... Then I remembered that the plane had just returned from a mission and that it was not ready yet. A clearer indication that the plane is being rearmed/repaired coud make everything clearer. Xenonauts already overlays a big text when a plane is being built; I think the same approach could be used during plane repairs/refueling. Below there is a screenshot of a mig being built. Using similar hints could be useful: Unit is undergoing repairs Hours until completion: x Unit is being refueled Hours until completion: x Today the UI is a bit misleading. Nothing can be done on the page until repairs/refueling is complete. So the UI is not responding to clicks, but understanding why is not immediate.

Arturius Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I agree with stx. We should have the ability to change loadout (weapons, soldier positions) during refuelling/repairing. Also proposed indicator would be nice. What about adding a rearming feature, lasting a few - 10 or 15 minutes? Unit is being rearmed Minutes until completion: x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 If you have to reload after changing weapons then it would make sense to allow that to be done while already performing a similar task. No need to force you to do it twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shima Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I agree with the UI change suggestion. It had me puzzled quite a few times, trying to install the brand new alenium rockets and it just cant be clicked! Aaargh! But it might be better to just have weapon slots greyed out or something. Huge white text over the plane is too intrusive. Also, adding battle damage on your planes in hangar might help player to realize why it can't be refitted yet.
