Personally, I liked the idea of having the Fuel Booster right closer to me. There are pros and cons with the Fuel Booster button and here are the reasons why:

Pros: By having the Fuel Booster close to you is grateful. Let's say you're in a tough battle and are on the brink of being defeated, you could easily click on the Boost and zip your way out of trouble. By adding a (Yes/No) button may take risk the chances of you being defeated or boarded. Typically I dislike boarding, it's a waste of time but, you get more items. Also you also risk the chance of losing all your progress by being defeated.

Cons: The Fuel Booster is not only a benefit but a disadvantage too. By misclicking the Fuel Booster you could easily zoom right into the windlane and also therefore lose all your progress. Therefore making it an annoyance to re-battle the ship you worked so hard on trying to defeat it.

As you can see, moving the fuel booster button has it's pros and cons. I can see how you may find it annoying, it happens to me a few times before.

Oh my, making me click a confirmation would ruin boost fuel/speed for me.

Boost fuel/speed is useful in battles, not just to travel fast.

When I use it, its often something I need in a hurry, that extra click would make me toast a lot of the time.

Making us click a confirmation would limit its use, which I dont see as an appropriate fix.
Curious as to how its getting misclicked? Its quite a bit above the attack buttons, at least on my screen. I do think I have clicked it by accident a couple times since i've played, but i've maxed 7 different pirates and have played throught the entire closed beta period. Not a very high rate of "oops!"

I would suggest using the number keys for battles, 1,2,3 and 4. They work faster, and are more reliable than the actual buttons in lower right of your screen, which I use simply to view timer updates.

Just my two gold dubbloons on the subject!

I chuckled at this issue, since it had never happened to me . . . and then last night it happened to me. The funny part is, I'm not even sure how it happened. I was using the mouse, so it had nothing to do with that. I was trying to click on a node as I sailed though some enemy ships and all of a sudden I heard a weird noise that I didn't recognize (I have only used the boost button half a dozen times in all my hours of playing) and I noticed that all my boost was now gone. Does the Z key activate boost? I can't find a hotkey for boost listed anywhere in the player's guide.

Actually I dont know if there is a "key" for boost fuel or not, would sure be nice. I still click on it when I want to use it. Most ship battles, I only use the mouse to.. a. Select Target, and b. Change view.

When im in a tight spot, I quickly click the boost with the mouse, so an extra click would limit my use of this feature.

With that in mind, adjusting its location wouldnt bother me a whole lot. Just thought id offer the key combo, as I find it far more efficient. I'd program the extra buttons on my gamers mouse to be 1,2,3, and 4 before i'd start using the buttons in the lower right. Another reason I use the numbers, is those buttons have often failed. They simply stop working from time to time and require the player to use "Select Pirate" to reset them.

Yep Z activates boost
