So this is something that has been driving me nuts.

I am fighting against a large Romulan D'deridex cruiser and I defeat him, only to have a dialogue box pop up asking me if I want to leave now. Well now would be great since that big ship is about to explode and I am in the vicinity! But no....even if I click the correct button indicating I want to leave now, I can't because I am in combat. So don't ask me until I am OUT of combat. Then I can at least maneuver away from the big bad explodey ship that I just defeated.

The same holds true to starting some missions...The dialog boxes come up and there is stuff to read, but I can't read it because the bad guys are starting to kick the hell outta me. How bout you let them start once I indicate that I have read everything?

Just a couple thoughts....

in te options you can set it so your ship does not stop moving during conversations in space.

Could help you until they tidy it up.

*Ship enters red alert*
Phasers at ready
Arm photon torpedos.
Target their shield generator
Captain, they're firing at us, photon torpedo spread.
Evasive maneuvers!
*red shirt Ricky bursts onto the bridge, turbolift doors explode into bits*
CAPTAIN, YOU HAVE AN INCOMING HAIL, I AM PUTTING IT ON SCREEN!

Hey thanks so much for the tip! That is at least a step in the right direction!

Couldn't they put it up in a corner or somthing? I looked on HUD rearranger and I couldn't find anything that would let me change where the communications showed on the screen.

This definately needs to be "fixed".

Both of these would be great.

Excellent!
