Add "Buy/Sell Resources" Buttons to Research Screen

from Sins Forums

I love the fact that the "Buy/Sell" resource buttons have been added to the main interface screen. If I'm in the middle of building structures or ships or making planet upgrades and I don't have enough of resource X, I can hit a few buttons and I'm all set.

However, if you're on the research screen, and you need more of resource X, you need to close the research screen, hit the buy/sell buttons to get enough of resource X, and then go back into the Research screen to purchase the research. I can't imagine that it would be that difficult to add the Buy/Sell resource buttons to the research screen to save some clicking.

Thanks!

What resolution are you running? I run 1280x800 and I see half the buy/sell panel with the research screen open.

Perhaps this could be an option in the UI menu, so people with narrower screen resolutions can do that :)

I'm running 1920x1200, and I can see it perfectly fine.

Well, that did it.  My monitor is set for 1680x1050, but Sins was defaulting to 1024 by 768. At that resolution, the research screen covers up the buy sell icons and they become inaccessible. Bumped my Sins resolution up to 1680 x 1050 and they are accessible.

Thanks!
