Basic: Proximity to what?

Post by 100thMonkey »

I never understood these sorting options in DW:U, and I still don't. What do the "Proximity" or "Distance from spaceport" in the control center mean exactly?

In the case of "Distance from spaceport, is it "distance from ANY of my spaceports"? Or is it something else?

And when it's simply "Proximity", as in the "Dangerous Locations" list, it's even less clear! It's not proximity to what's currently selected, because if I change the selection, the sort order doesn't change. So: proximity to what?

I assume that distance from space port is just what is says.

The distance from the closest space port that you have is counted... they are then listed in order of closest one to the more distant one.
