First they need to make it so that you can log into your account via the launcher. Then they should make the character selection screen look something like this.

Now that's pretty darn cool. It looks like a little wireframe of the current ship, too. I like that.

I fail to see why a new CSS is necessary; the current one is more than functional.

What I would like to see however is the ability, when a skill is training on a character on the same account and you wish to start training on a different character, for the game to pause training on one character and start the skill on the currently active character. When you try to train now it tells you which character on the account is currently training and, as far as I recall though I may be incorrect, even the skill they are currently training.

Granted I know nothing about programming, but could this be a nice quick change to save a lot of logging in/logging out when necessary?

So. When?!

Current char screen is what, 10 expansions old? And that's just as many expansions i've seen since i first joined EVE.

Even if you guys don't include new features (Switching chars without logging off, please), when can we see a new Character Screen layout?


Its not broken. Don't fix it. I spend about 2 secs of gametime in the character selection screen, nothing more. Not worth pooring resources into changing it.

yk


The targeting boxes weren't broken either and they changed it. And people liked them.

Same for the tracking camera.

Y'know how when you first make a character you open up say Amarr, then you get these characters you can choose from? Why not use that structure that's already coded, and modify it to open up and show the characters on your account to select from. Add a button on the station interface to go to that "Character Choice" screen like they built to get to CQ.

They will appear in irregular polygons.


Why not mix it up, cover all the characters with question marks and make you guess which one to play today

Only if i can have a green spandex suit to wear with those question marks Big smile

I'm wearing a pink one right now...

On a perfect world we would have full access to the skill window at the character selection screen. Switch traning around the characters, see which skills are trained in all of them, etc...

No more logging in and out just to switch skill training.
