Please make it easier to select star ships aboard a space station. I’d suggest the following:
Hi, this has been a nuisance for me for such a long time. I kept hoping a future update would implement a system that would make the nuisance go away, but here we are, years later, and it's still a terrible oversight. I have no idea if Hello Games reads this forum still, but if they do, please consider this!
Not having a system in place to select your active star ship while on board of a space station is a plainly bad design flaw. The game has many ways to obtain crashed ships now, through the Minotaur's scanner, the Nautilon's scanner or simply through the old communication towers. You can easily collect up to ten of them in, say, half an hour of playing. It's really not that hard! I sometimes go on a hunt for downed ships, see if I can find anything cool, but usually end up with a bunch of ships that I'd like to see scrapped.
So, say you want to destroy said ships at the Starship Outfitting station inside a space station, you have to: drop your freighter in front of the station, board your freighter, hop in the ship you want to have destroyed, make sure its engines are fixed, get off your freighter, fly it over to the space station, destroy it, return to your other ship and repeat this for any other ship you'd like to turn in. And that's if you're lucky, because sometimes you can't even board the ship on your freighter, because it's not on display in your hangar. If that is the case you need to go to a planet, summon it, fix the engines and then fly back to the station.
I would really like to see an option on the Starship Outfitter station where I can select my active ship. This would be absolutely ideal for scrapping ships. However, if adding that option to that particular station is not an option for some reason, I firmly believe we need to be able to select our active ship somewhere else. Perhaps on the Station Core station in the back of the space station, the one where you can do an override or repair your standing. Or maybe Hello Games can implement another station somewhere.
Please do this, Hello Games! I implore you! Thank you for reading!
