EVE General Discussion

First off, this video and what it is about is pretty damn cool. Its a very old Eve "Historic Video". Please, watch the video and read the description. I promise its good EVE History.


Now, the purpose of my thread. I started eve in fall 2007, and anyone who has played eve for at least a year knows that they change UI features pretty regularly. Some see them as upgrades, others see them as breaking the game (The inventory system debacle).

I would like to point out a little feature in the bottom right corner of this guy's screen. The Tactical map. I know we have the tactical overlay for the entire screen, but having it in this small compact area is nice too.

Is this still possible? If not, BRING IT BAAACCKK!!!!

Hahahahahahahah that thing was useless


edit: sorry that sounded trollish, wasn't intended. But that thing really didn't serve a useful purpose.

It seems as though it would have its uses is different situations. If it used the same settings as your overview, it would be extremely helpful since you would know where everything on your overview was in relation to your ship without having to turn on brackets or have to look around too much. Something that is not advised in a large fight, using brackets that is.

I would settle for a any small improvement to the tactical overlay or the solar system map, it is often hard for me to quickly orient my position in relation to celestial objects. All the planets, moons, asteroid fields and etc seem to be bunched up in a single icon, until you mouse over it to make it expand the whole list which is quite difficult when you are in a bomber fleet, and you have about 5 seconds to pre-align and choose a warpout after you launch the bomb.

I didn't watch the video for that long, and I was already annoyed by that "thing." It serves no purpose, as others said.

This is an interface, specifically for a mini heads up of your surrounding area (the thing at the bottom center).

This is from a game called Terminus. I loved this game though short lived and a bit ahead of its time in terms of online server functionality.

I thought the same company had updated this to become EVE when I first discovered EVE.

Other things you see that are cool was visible ship trajectory you could flip on and off.

In some ways I wish the stuff from Terminus was implemented into EVE. Namely, taking away warp and only using gates that are close by stations. Therefore, you could actually shoot at each other all the time without being scrammed and it's only a matter of speeding to the gate.

This game truly was free for all. It was also a flight simulation style game but you could turn that off and fly more simply.
