QOL thoughts

So when you bonk into Earth and or Star Control you get the Press E to talk pop up.


When you go and bonk into Triton, you get the landing screen.  if you exit and turn the wrong way, you get the landing screen.   if you leave and again turn the wrong way, you get the landing screen.  rinse repeat.   this bonk landing screen  can really get flustering if you are just trying to scout a system. 

Could we get an option to "Press E" to land on all planets/moons?     

I think that and perhaps floating labels that would let the player mouse around the system and find planets/moons without having to fly close to them would be really useful QOL enhancements.

Originally the way you interacted with aliens was bumping directly into them. The functionality of the key press was added to prevent some awkward pinball like moments when trying to navigate.

I'll bring this up and see if there is enough call to implement it for planets too.

I think the boink to converse is great for initial contact.

I think for say 10-20 seconds after you leave a planet the planet should just ignore you if you boink it., with an option to press like L or E or T keys or left/right click on the mouse to land/talk to the planet
