The availability and popularity of various mods indicates that some aspects of the game's interface and mechanics may need further polish. In the meantime, how can we minimise the impact of rough edges in vanilla?
Repetitive NPC dialogue after familiar with the game
I'm communicating:
If in space, bringing up the Drone Interface (detault 'T') or Action button (default 'F') skips audio.
I'm hiring NPCs:
If in space, 'T' skips audio but drops us out the Sidebar. Can be quicker if using number shortcuts for hiring screen (Return-6), particularly if hiring Teladi.
I'm asking NPCs to work on my ship or station:
If doing so while docked, 'Escape' skips the animation sequence and the audio.
