EVE Information Portal

In factional warfare, there needs to be some kind of reward for doing defensive plexes. There needs to be some sort of incentive for doing so, else people won't defend their territory. This is preposterous.

id like to say that the inventory is quite clumsy, tho i can get used to it since i havent been playing for long. missile effects are great too. but many people have been experiencing problems with eve voice, including me. that started from the day the inferno deployed. its sad rly because it rly prevents me from having a decent experience with the game. fix those bugs people...and fast...
thank you.

So, CCP Unifex would IBM let something this fail be released as an "improved" update/release?

Just sayin......

i am hearing alot of my old buddies saying the new ui crap is killing eve. 3 guys that never miss a day logging in are now not even bothering, i talked to them on msn and was told that the new ui is the reason they are quitting.

1 of them gave me his stuff, i believe that guy wont be back.. ccp wake the fk up, put down the donuts, and fix this crap u made or continue to lose subscribers until this game becomes so underpopulated that your all out of jobs.

at least bother to reply and give us the same old bs line that your investigating the issue.. i mean really wake up

Militia Interface:

Let me start by saying .. about bloody time! Was utterly useless.

Statistics pane: Good move condensing all the separate into the one .. ultimate solution would be to have a section where a person could enter a specific API query in addition to current.

RoE pane: Now that is a right proper super-sized warning label. Reckon it is needed but holy cow

Warzone Control pane: What determines what can be seen? Standings, bloodline, location, price of beer in Reykjavik?
It would help immensely if you added a drop down menu so that one can 'view' both fronts from the same interface and be able to choose which militia to join .. there is no mention of how/what/where to join a militia other than the single option presented.

The new "connection lost" window looks good, but it has one problem: I can't access the chat tabs and chat scrollback anymore, like I used to. I wonder if access to chat could be allowed again after disconnection?

About the inventory... people have been used to find their stuff using muscle memory. New system desperately needs that. The same windows should always open in the same location with the same size. Since inventory is copying from Widows Explorer, it should have one feature that such explorers usually have: back button. If you open a container or hangar that replaces something important (since you forgot to press shift), you should have the ability to go back to the previous view easily and reliably.

Loving the Missile effects - really great job on that , not just the trails and the launchers themselves but the different visual and audio effects when the missiles hit are awesome I really like it.


With the previous improvements to turrets, and then with the shots missing you animations EvE never looked better imho. I did some level 4's last night on my Alt and was really loving the graphics and the environment. Great job.

Oh and personally I like the new Amarr colors , the new Pilgrim just looks amazing , love the new Stealth Bombers too even the Hound, don't know what the fuss is about that from other folks I think it looks great

Deliberately missed out the other bit I am struggling with :D

So much people crying about the inventory changes, which may be a bit uncomfortable, but do not seem to me gambreaking. Besides, I expect that with the next iteration cycles they will sort out the worst issues.

What I am surprised is not seeing anybody giving feedback about the new modules (admittedly I might have missed somebody in 52 thread pages talking about inventory). Well I guess I'll start with the only module I have had time to check.

Feedback about ancillary shield booster

It seems to me so highly OP I can't even start... You are just making the old shield boosters completely obsolete. But let's keep it scientific. I'll start making a comparison with its T1 counterpart, the normal "shield booster I".

Advantages

• Boosts about twice the amount of the normal booster. Or in other words, it almost like having a large booster for the fitting cost of a medium...
• First 10 cycles are completely free. For an XL ancillary shield booster that means getting the first 40 seconds of shield boosting for free. Besides that you can fit and run more than one for the same ship so you can fit 3 of those things on the same ship and have 40 secs of free invulnerability even if you get called primary. Oooook....

Drawbacks

• Boosting efficiency is slightly lower than its counter part. A common booster I has an efficiency of 1.13 shield points recharged per GJ, while one of those things has an efficiency of 1.03.
• They have slightly higher skill requirements, but nothing major (in the worst case you need shield operation at level 4...)
• The ancillary gets damaged by overload 30% faster than the normal booster. Considering that an overloaded T1 booster is still boosting much less than the unoverloaded counterpart, I fail to see this as a problem.

There is also a 60 seconds recharge time (which will make the module unusable for 60 secs after you switch it off) which i did not list among the drawbacks. That is because you can turn off the autorecharge, so the booster can work off the cap (switching is on and off at leaisure), and then you cna choose to actually recharge it only when you disengage.

As for the rest, it's the same for both modules. Anciallry and normal boosters of the same size have the same fitting requirments, and all the modules and rigs that affect the normal shield booster affect also the ancillary (that includes capacitor power relays, shield boost amplifiers, and many rigs). The only exception seems to be the "core defense operational soldifier", but considering that every other module/rig seems to affect it, it's probably a bug. Even if it weren't a bug, I can't see this as an issue: fitting 3 core defense operational soldifier won't get enough boost to match the boost from the ancillary.

Observations

1) What possessed you guys to give cycles for free without even differenthiating between charges? Loading a medium ancillary with a 50 cap booster or a 100 cap booster does not make any difference; you get a free boost in both cases! Obviously everybody will just use the smaller charges, since they can fit more of them in the booster. Besides, you get a boost that would cost 127 GJ for the cost of a 50GJ... If anything, it should have been the opposite (you should get a boost that costs 127GJ for the cost of 200GJ). I hope that the current behavior is a bug...

2) You shouldn't allow more than one of those things in the ship otherwise we'll have horrible stacking issues (40 seconds of invulnerability???).

3) The only conceivable reason for anybody to use a T1 booster is to afk run missions, because the ancillary requires cap management.

4) The situation seems marginally better if you compare the ancillary shield booster (meta 1) with the T2 version of the normal booster (and perhaps the meta 4). The boost amount you get from the ancillary is still vastly superior to the T2, but at least the efficiency of the T2 is much higher (1.5 vs 1.03). On the other hand, considering that the first 10 cycles are completely free, this difference in efficiency won't start showing before 40 cycle (at least 2 minutes after switching the booster on).

Possible balancing modifications

1) Restrict the module to 1 per ship.
2) Differentiate effects among different charges. To be able to have a free cycle you should be using a charge LARGER than the cost of the cycle, not a smaller one. Smaller sharges should reduce the amount of cap used for that cycle, not remove it altogether.
3) Drop the efficiency of the ancillary much more than it is now.
4) NEVER introduce a T2 of this thing unless you seriously nerf it.

TL;DR: That thing is severely OP!

1) Please put the currently used ship back in the hangar list. It's very nice to be able and know what ship you are currently into just by glancing at the hangar list, expecially when you have 10-20 ships of the same type.

2) What happened to Amarr colors? From gold to poop shaded? TBH I prefer gold over poop.

3) New inventory system: it's as fun and useful to use as having your molars infected and devitalized. Without anesthetization.

Tried Inferno out for the first time yesterday. Let me just say the misslies effects are great. The one change I do not like is the Unified Inventory window. I thought was to make things easier. They just took a simple window and made it very annoying to use. It uses more screen space per window and all that shift clicking to open more than one window. Running multiple accounts at same time doing missions and moving things around was just frustrating.
Why do I need a Unified Inventory window while in space?
