EVE Information Portal

Newly created characters are impossible to "find" for the purpose of adding to contacts, making a private contract, etc. It used to be when I created a new character I could immediately find them in search or issue a contract to them; now this is not possible, even after some hours.

The only way I can "find" a new character now is to log into the new character, add my old character as a contact, send notification, and then when I get the notification, click on the new character name and add contact. But even after this, when both characters have each others' names in their contact lists, I still cannot issue a contract to the new character (it either refuses to find the new name and says it doesn't exist; or it tries to issue to some other character with a partial name match, and does not offer any option to assign to the character I want, that I just created). Exiting the client, deleting the EVE cache folder, and restarting the client did not fix this issue.

Speaking of which: How about drag and drop from contacts to the private contract name box; or a drop down in the contracts window that pulls from our contact list. That would make it so much quicker and easier when issuing private contracts to corps and parties you work with a lot and have on your contacts list.

CCP continues to impose UI changes rather than introduce UI options.

Get used to it.

WHY?

Edit for contents:
To find the right outgate I need to skim through two columns now.... 'Name' and 'Type'.
I'm looking forward to targeting a gate thinking its a player, as well. 'Sort by name and kill everything except the gates' Yay :)

I like the new missile names in and of themselves, they do help clarify sizes, but the names are kinda long. They are hard to quickly differentiate in your inventory, depending on the column order & width one has. At least that's my experience, YMMV.

Edit(addition): Stargate change complaints--Add another overiew tab, name it "escape" or whatever and design it to be your "need a stargate NOW" tab.

Sick and tired of these launcher problems, another failure to update today because of a corrupt download, fed up of doing a fresh install every other bloody day......

I agree on the point that the stargate name in the column made the name stand out for quick reference. I also understand the frustration that was there with the old naming scheme. I propose this: Rather than "Stargate(destination), or simply destination, that it read "Destination (Stargate)", or even "Destination - Stargate". This would re-enable the ability to quickly scan and click on a correct gate, and also preserve the ability to sort by name in a more precise way.

Thank you all for all the work!

Ok I've had time to play around with this and I don't like the mouse over locking the overview. While it might be fine in some situations, when traveling, it's annoying. I need an option to disable this.

I have my overview sorted by distance when traveling, from furthest to closest, so star gates and stuff will be on top, and people entering the system won't move the stargates. Well with the new mouse over locking the overview, here's what's happening that's making it annoying. When you jump through a gate, and you're trying to click the next gate in your route, ships that are coming into the system will come in at the top of the overview, so everything below it move down. In busy systems, I am literally chasing the gate down the overview as new ships are coming into view. I have yet to figure out a sort that stops this behavior, so what I need is an option to stop it from locking the overview when moused over.

The splash screen... it cannot be put in the background by switching to another program, it cannot be moved out of the way. Of all the programs installed on my computer that have a splash screen it is the only one that cannot be either cancelled with the Escape key or put in the background.

This hijacking of my screen is getting really annoying, especially that I play using multiple clients. Can we have a gentler, better behaved startup, please?

Since this update whenever i log into eve i cant do anything and after a while it kicks me from the game without notification or something. A friend told me that on his watchlist it appears like i log in and log out immediatly after. Hope this will be resolved soon.
