Bouncing Carousel When Deploying and Low on XM

McWibble

I suppose this is more of a suggestion than a bug report, but the app feedback forum was closed, so.... 🙄

It is exceptionally annoying when the deployment carousel starts bouncing to other items when running low on XM. Not once have I been unable to deploy an Aegis shield due to low XM and thought "hmm, maybe I'd rather just deploy this VR multi-hack instead". Alternatively, can the carousel just stay where it is and let me either choose a new item myself, or manually use a powercube? Not just mods, the same applies to deploying resonators and firing XMPs. Just let me select the resonator/mod/weapon myself please!

Yes, it's annoying. Previous pleas have fallen on deaf ears. See:
