well yeah, obviously it could be manually overridden if needed, i just thought it might be useful - if you were doing a jump-skim-jump-skim thing it would be helpfully (but completely uneccessary, heh) knowing the next part of the route was already in the puter.

If that's the case, I want a system that automatically queues up an emergency jump location in the case you get ambushed by pirates!

i used to do that as a matter of course when entering an Anarchy, if i had fuel left. since getting the WFIs though, i've buggered myself a couple times bby fighting and WFIing, then desperately hitting the H only to find i've used more fuel than i need. a prime case for the WFI's being fuelled by a separate tank!

speaking of WFi, i got jumped the other night by a FdL, came after me doing his dogfight-w/-WFI-on trick, which really annoys me. now, i dunno what he'd been doing prior, but suddenly ANOTHER FdL zipped past and engaged him : both were flitting around at full burn like demented moths. it was like summat out of the Red Arrows.

Just wait til they run out of full then drop Hardheads on their asses!

Will a description of the Advanced Navigational Array (plus the key(s) to operating it) be added to the wiki?

I was wondering whether to buy it the other day, but I didn't know what it was. I checked the wiki but found nothing. Then I saved the game, bought the ANA and took a look at the galactic chart... but not knowing what key to press, I didn't know how to activate the ANA.

On another note: perhaps the use of the key "!" can cause some trouble if the player makes a typo, that is, if you don't press the shift key all the way down before pressing "1", you suddenly find yourself flying towards the navigational buoy outside the Station

That’s a point. How about ‘&’? Sort of a logical grouping.

The Advanced Navigational Array has now been added to the Wiki, under the Equipment section.

Great!

And an impressively quick response too

The use of "&" in stead of "!" sounds nice to me, but it is not a big deal... I mean, you only make such typos rarely and with docking computer installed a quick Shift+D takes you back.
