I’m not someone who plays that competitively but I usually spend the 2nd half of conquest just farmings dcs with the spare energy I have however I don’t understand how I’m supposed to easily distinguish between them. If I was competitive I can’t imagine how big this list would be.So when I’m trying to find out which I want to upgrade I usually have to click through them all to find the one I want and there’s no way to assign them to squads so I have to remember which dc is for which squad.Surely at the very least this screen should give a small summary below the icon. Or just a way to pre assign them to squads. It seem weird for something they wanted the player base to get on board with using they’ve made them awful to deal with. Is there something I’m missing here?

Or just being able to scroll through them would already be a big improvement...

It is horrid. It remind me of mod management in that it’s an aspect of the game which is hugely important for success, but where there seems to have been given zero thought to a just halfway decent user interface to manage them.Another reason to get HotUtils.I’d be happy almost if just you could do the list view from when assigning DCs as well as the ability to go to next/previous same as you can with toons.Both features already exist in game so no new design should be needed and hopefully it would be minor tweaks.A lot more could be done, but just the above would be huge.Next step would be to be able to save squads with a default Datacron, but probably something would break when the DCs expire…

Imagine being able to give them short names (could be 4 characters max) like JML, LV, GAS, etc.But that would reduce our ingame time being wasted on stupid and completely unneccessary stuff. Not what CG wants.

Getting rid of DCs entirely would do the trick too.

Get them to level 9, so the characters help distinguish them a bit more. Unless you have multiple for the same character, but who does that?

The only option available is to stick the lock on or off as a flag to see.

It cost resources, but you could also take certain ones a level higher to change where they sit in the sort order.

It could be improved a lot.

Yea, trying to go through to see which one is which is a huge PITA. Plus lately when i upgrade, the screen freezes, forcing me to restart (luckily upgraded DC is still there, but still). DC management UI needs a huge rework
