Please Faustus, I like the beta version for the most part, but can you Please put the ability to initiate a jump from the Nav. Screen (f2) back in. I almost always initiate my jumps from there after plotting them. I find it extremely tedious to have to return to the tactical screen before being able to press "j."
Gideon also likes it in there as is evidenced by this log in the lobby:
19:46:43 [PB]Varzadium: "I kinda like the beta version...but I don't understand why I can't initiate a jump in the nav screen ;/"
19:48:04 [Elite]Rock: "non, si tu veux parler francais, va á la chambre darkspace french..."
19:48:14 [Dev]Gideon: "We have a french lobby..."
19:48:26 [eXS]Valerius{DK}: "je parle en peut de francias "
19:48:27 [Elite]Rock: "ditto varz"
19:48:38 [Elite]Rock: "un peu myon "
19:47:17 [PB]Varzadium: "it's annoying"
19:48:46 [Dev]Gideon: "@Varz, because, F removed it, "Since nobody used it"...which makes little sense to me, since it seems that EVERYONE notices it..."
19:50:12 HarveySET: "LOL, but french room its empty:("
19:48:49 [-*TR*-]lawman: "If the legion hates everything alive then why did they commint war on humans"
19:48:49 [eXS]Valerius{DK}: "as i said... a little "
19:48:55 [-GDI-]Nelson {C?}: "Que semble-t-il être le problème? "
19:47:46 [PB]Varzadium: "nobody uses it?!? i almost always use it"
19:50:36 HarveySET: "pas de pb, juste savoir si il y a des français dans ce jeu?"
19:47:59 [PB]Varzadium: "bah"
19:49:22 [Dev]Gideon: "Well, now's your chance to fill it with french speaking people!"
19:49:25 [Elite]Rock: "guys let me, i know the best french in here"
19:50:52 [VA]$yTHe =R=: "jeez i REALLY need to learn a different language "
19:49:29 [Dev]Gideon: "@Varz, same here."
19:49:39 [Dev]Gideon: "I think, Faustus didn't use it, so he assumed nobody used it."
* [S.W]AdmBito waves to [eXS]Valerius{DK}...
* [S.W]AdmBito waves to [Elite]Rock...
19:48:24 [PB]Varzadium: "Gideon, what do you think the chance is he'll put it back?"
* [S.W]AdmBito slaps [VA]$yTHe =R= in the head...
19:48:32 [PB]Varzadium: "hehe"
19:49:51 [Elite]Rock: "un peu harvey... des francais mais surtout des canadiens"
9:49:57 [eXS]Valerius{DK}: "i have to go with Varz on that one... must jumpes are done from the nav screen"
* [eXS]Valerius{DK} smiles at [S.W]AdmBito...
19:48:45 [PB]Varzadium: "err would it be hard to put it back if he wanted to?"
19:51:35 HarveySET: "ok Rock"
19:50:13 [Elite]Rock: "!!!"
19:50:13 [Dev]Gideon: "@Varz, it all depends on how much noise the players make. We make enough noise, and he will."
19:51:38 HarveySET: "merci"
* [Elite]Rock ♥ [S.W]AdmBito...
19:50:19 [-*TR*-]lawman: "..."
19:50:20 [eXS]Valerius{DK}: "ok its official... i cant type anymore ("
19:49:01 [PB]Varzadium: "I'm gonna make a post on it right now."
19:50:30 [Elite]Rock: "de rien"
19:50:42 [-GDI-]Nelson {C?}: "Je suis smort!"
19:50:48 [Dev]Gideon: "I imagine it would be very simplistic to put back in. No more than one or two lines of code, but I'm not a coder, so I'm not the best judge of such things."
----------------------------------------
Faustus, I would imagine the majority of the players in DS feel the same way Gideon, Rock, Valerius and I do about this issue. (note their agreement in the above chat log)
Please put the Nav Screen jump initiation back in !!!
All players: Please post here if you want this. If you don't please explain why.

Yeah, I'm in favor of putting it back.
Every time someone tries beta for the first time, the first or second thing I hear from them is, "Why can't I jump in nav screen?"
I think it should be put back. No harm in leaving it in the game, is there?

I was going to say I've been saved from death many times by plotting out a quick jump in the Nav screen, but I realized that was a lie and I usually die or ejump into a sun. But I feel a more important reason for the nav screen jump to be put back in is that its just bloody irritating having to go into Nav screen, scroll around and click, then go back out and jump!
Bring back the Nav Screen Jump! Long live the Nav Screen Jump!

I see one major plus too a nav screen jump function; when your plotting an escape vector you can be assured of a white line, hence no collisions, and provided you dont encounter a dictor field you can safely plot a jump that will take you well beyond the sensor range of nme ships.
There is also one minor drawback, that being that hunting wounded ships will become obsolete due to a wouned ships ability to jump all the way to the other side of the system is he/she so desires without incountering any JD dammage, and because the wounded ship no longer has to stop to jump, it becomes more difficult to aquire a search vector. However, some may also see this as a benifit as well!

I love you Varz.
I'd also love to be able to jump in the nav screen.

Yeah, put it back in faustus you lazy bum...
Oh wait, I was planning on putting it back in... for the mean time, you can just press O or F from the navigation screen, and your ship will automatically jump for you.
