Post subject:  Scrap function redo? Mac users?

In the structures/build list, it still feels odd to scrap things by clicking on the object's icon on the left and then the words "Scrapped: 1, 2, etc" in red appear. It's also unintuitive to right-click to unscrap. Perhaps there should be a "trash" and "restore" icon to the right of the allocation bar. I know this may clutter things but consider that many Mac users now can run Windows on their machines and not all will have right click or even a mouse to that effect.

Additionally, this is a separate topic but I think there is a huge market for MacBook users who can now emulate Windows on their computers. And a lot of these Macbook users were likely the Star Trek fans we know and love, and even more so may like to play a strategic game on the side. As such it is my request to deprecate the right-click functions or at least allow an alternative to opening the Menu popup. I know I'm coming late in the game with this request but hey the only time I can play Supremecy is at home on my PC :D

Mike is definitely looking for new ideas, and we've already had one report of Supremacy working successfully on a Mac using Windows, so yes, they could potentially represent a significant proportion of players. I'll pass your ideas on to him. :smile:

I built Supremacy on a Mac running Windows :). Specifically, a MacBook Pro. The interface for scrapping isn't final, it's just a stand-in.

You never told me that before. I guess Supremacy is more multi-talented than i'd realised. :razz:
