[Bug] Infrasonic relay Mission - no briefing, no details

4 votes

With the Prometheus patch (2.0.0). When you want to select a mission and review first its content before validating, you can't. A click immediately triggers the mission start and you can't review any briefing or detail before selecting.

The mission selection user experience of the new "infrasonic Relay Device" is not great.

You are presented with a tree if "Icons"
- no text to hint at what they are?
- hovering over an Icon doesn't produce a popup description?

Single clicking on an Icon "commits" you to that mission, with NO confirmation, NO ability to correct a miss-click
- cancelling a mission statrs a 5min cooldown where you can't even see the tree anymore...

(At least this is the experience as a "client" connected to a "dedicated server")

Do you have any screen recordings of this not working?

Sorry, no, I don't have video but extremely easy to reproduce. Go to the Infrasonic relay, click one mission and voila, the mission starts immediately, including pods arriving. It's lacking an intermediate briefing window and confirmation before triggering the mission.

The UI of the "Infrasonic Relay Device" seems to have changed since building and placing the "encrypted satelite comunicator" to complete the mission "SHADOWED".

Now on both devices when you zoom in it displays the mission name.
I'm sure it wasn't doing that when first placed as part of one of the preceeding missions.
I'm sure I tried zooming all the way in, and the UI just showed the small icons with no text.

So this is possibly a bug that only shows up when you first start an "open wold" on prometheus and are playing the missions in sequence having never unlocked any of them before?
