Default Please Provide a 3rd Vertical Tool Bar...

5 tools bars are just not enough (3 horizontal + 2 vertical). Please add in the optional 6th tool bar.

This is in all seriousness. I've used 5 tool bars for the 4 years I've played, and it just is not enough space.

6 Slots, 1st Rate & Vanilla per Powder Type
2 Slots, Carpenter & Sailmaster
5 Slots, Clickies (Sona, Lucy, Triage, Albatros, Kit..6th for Rat's Grapple)
4 Slots, St Elmo's + Mines + Salvaging Supplies + Turtle Nets
3 Slots, Loot turnins (morale, dmg, and grapple consumables)
8 slots, Ammo Types
36 Slots Used of 60 available

25 Slots, My current Privateer Build (includes career skills)
3 slots, Focus Gunnery, sailing, and maneuver
28 Slots Used

28+36 = 66 Slots but only 60 are available.

This excludes putting other items on the bars like Guns & Rum, Smuggler Supplies, Wardens Overhaul... I'm sure there's MANY missing that I either don't use of I'm not aware of (loots turnins and Treasure Isle mission items have really put a crunch on toolbar real estate space).

These are what I typically try to have available so that I'm not looking for a skill or consumable in the midst of a fight.

AND I FORGOT CLAIM DERELICT!!!! So make it 67 slots needed. The 3rd vertical tool bar would make for a total of 72 slots available.

DO EEEET!

Move if need be.

Seriously? I use one and just scroll through 3 others. Are you putting one of every consumable/ammo/skill in the game on your toolbars or something?

Maybe make the 2 existing horizontal bars scrollable like the "default" one?

I don't do and have never done any scrolling through them. I am not out of spaces, but it would be nice to have more rows to space things out.

Seriously?!? You scroll. I honestly find that amazing. When that tool bar accidently rolls I lose probably 1-2 seconds in a fight. Which is a pretty. If deal in avcom... Now avcom is not my big issue - it is shipcom.

Yes - all 25 (less passive skills) are on the toolbar. Then Usable Clickies. Then consumables (well mades and 1st rates)... There just isn't enough room.

This is more suggestive that there is too much crap in the game, rather than too few toolbars.

However I will concede that IF the designers insist on loading the game with crap, then there should be controls to allow players to use all the crap they can.

And remember, if it's not Scottish ... it's crap.
