Hi

Can I suggest something?
It would be great if the name of active ship was displayed while docked. For example, I have a few dessies with different fittings and names. When I log in, I have no clue which one of them is currently active. I need to open my "Items" window to see it (was much worse before inventory changes). Active ship's name could be displayed in a HUD (so we can see it wherever our character is located in CQ, be it a hangar, room or toilet) or as a header in ship context menu.

Another thing. Can unassebled ships be displayed in a different color or outline in "Ship hangar" window? When we have a lot of ships it's sometimes difficult to find those.


Thank you

The name of the ship is already displayed on the character selection screen, maybe you should make a habit of just looking at that before loading in. Or you can always just open the fitting window for a second too.

I don't think there's a good reason to add in more screen clutter when the info is already there in a few places which are fairly quick to check.

Many times ("many" meaning 90% of log-ins) instead of ship name there's "out of pod", which is not a very helpful information.

Adding active ship name won't add much more clutter. You don't need a clear HUD for ship spinning. Besides, ship name can be displayed right after the station name like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/shipname.png/
