Can we have a targeting alarm to supplement ''yellow boxing white crossing visual'', currently you have to have 'auto target back one' to have an audio warning. Auto target back has a few problems such as if target is out of your range you won't get any audio untill you either getting smashed by weapons or your going into armor.

If I'm missing something really obvious here and this audio is allready avalible please rip the **** while including how I activate this warning.

Couldn't you just pay attention? It's pretty obvious when someone is targeting you or shooting at you.

So no need in any other alarms then?

Go away Troll.

some other kind of cool alert would be nice tbh. Maybe have the edges of your screen blink yellow/red??

Game already has warnings about being targeted. You can either look at your overview or slap auto targeting back on.

Don't ask about Italics, just tilt your head.

Would be a pretty cool Idea would be helpful if you werent paying attention I know the hp ones have saved me a few times while watching tv ratting. I think It would get to be a bit ridiculous if you were in a full blown fleet.

The HP warnings are great... my fiance thinks its hilarious as I go tearing through the house at warp speed cause of a blaring alarm...

Not much help in PvP/ganking though... and if your watching TV or grabbing a beer while not in a safe then its your own fault your in a new clone...

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

Fully customisable alert systems would be a nice feature but obv not a priority. For example when your buffer armor tanking do you really need a low shield warning? Would be nice to deactivate.

a cow bell for every target. Large bells for large targets

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Hey here's an idea... if you turn the sound on you can hear the noise for being targetted. Now if that's a group of catalysts or a tornado who's doing it, it's not up to CCP to give you a warning when you alt-tab out and aren't paying attention to your surrounding Dscan or local.

You can turn off and/or adjust the low shield/armor/hull alert.
there is 4 small lines that kinda look like = in the low right corner of the HUD that you can right-click.

I'd like something like the Gundam alert. If possible, even ask Capcom if we could use the same sound. Pure awesome.

Right now, I'd like a way to make my ship sounds NOT dissapear just because I zoomed out.

I agree, OP. I also think we need a "someone's on same field as me alert", like maybe if the game bleeps a loud sound to tell me when other players are on field, cause when I'm pvp'ing, last thing I need is trying to notice if other people just got on field, it's crazy!

So is 'BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET'. Props to CCP for making a sound that makes me soil my pants.

That got fixed years ago but feel free to run old unfunny jokes into the ground.
