EVE General Discussion

How hard would it be to get an animation for drones and fighters launching from ships in the next expansion?

Just having them fly out of whatever appropriate area, like on the Thanatos or new Gallente Destroyer.

What ideas do you like most so far, devs?

Ooh!

While exploring, it's useful to know signature strength and sig ID so you can choose which sigs to scan down next.

When you are scanning, you sometimes have your probes positioned such that you get an 'echo' or 'mirror' sig. These results have the same ID. If you control-click on these two sigs in your scan results list, it hides the other red signature dots that show up on the solar system map.

This is a kinda awkward way to show us which red dots correspond to which signature IDs.

So my request is: Add a tooltip to the signature results that are shown in solar system map. The tooltip should have the signature ID, signal strength and signature type.

Great thread; some of the past little fixes have been my favorite updates (like being able to view contents of your ships via assets button, thank you for that).

Here's my suggestions:
1. Allow me to change my ******** character name, for a fee of course (and keep character name histories so scammers and thieves can't hide from their past). I just hate my sucky name.

2. Give some sort of audio cue when my ore cargo is full (similar to what happens when an asteroid is depleted..it's a very useful cue to remind me to restart my mining laser), so if I'm semi-afk I'll know it's time to offload.

3. Speaking of helpful reminders, here's an example of a reminder that isn't helpful, "those items are not stackable". Please make her stop saying that. Please! I mean, really...so what you're trying to tell me is that my Genetically Enhanced Livestock are not stackable with my Heavy Pulse Lasers?...are...are you sure because it seems totally legit to me, cows and lasers, of course they stack. No? Well I'll be damned. Thanks for schooling me on item categorization, now why don't you go dump the cows in my cargo hold like I tried to do in the first place before you got all philosophical on me. (This conversation has played out between myself and my monitor speakers numerous times. Maybe I need some meds. But in the meantime could you make Aura a Little less argumentative).

4. Ooh, here's one more. Every once in a while I get a terrifying black box message on my screen that goes something like, "You are an enemy of the Amarr Empire and will now be destroyed, Darth Vador [or other bad guy name]". And for a split second, before I get to the end of the message, I have a mini heart attack before I realize the Amarr Empire is not about to smash me in the face, it's some other guy. I mean, I'm okay and all...as far as heart attacks go, this is the lowest tier. Maybe put the bad guy name at the FRONT of the scary warning. That way I won't nearly soil myself next time I undock in a fancy faction boat.

P.s. if there happens to be a character in the game whose name actually is Darth Vador , I apologies for slandering your good name. I'm sure you're a swell guy.

OH! And a way to differentiate between personal orders and corp orders in the wallet!!! Very important, this one!

This can be generalized very nicely. For every dialog that tells you that you can't do something, go through and figure out if a) there's a more charitable interpretation of the action--maybe you just wanted to drop the cows into the hold with the lasers?, or; b) there's a way to automate the process that the dialog is complaining about. For example, if I jump clones while in a ship with my skill queue running, how about either automatically leaving ship; pausing queue; jumping; restarting queue (and hey, maybe make active the ship that that clone last had active!), or just get rid of the restrictions altogether and switch the active ship from one clone's last known active ship to the other's.

Save the "you can't do that" dialogs for situations when i really try to do something that I can't do, like online a module in space when I don't have enough cap--though, even then, you could make the module blink on the HUD and online as soon as I do have enough cap, similar to the way that a turret module blinks when I haven't targeted anything yet--and including the feature where I can click it again to leave it offline if I change my mind. That would be nice and helpful.

alt-F? or drag the fitting button onto your neocom?

is 'Fitting Management' something different than 'Fitting' ?

- Display damage on crystals in cargo/inventory, what a tin to load single crystals in space every time I want to see if that crystal I'm taking along with another bunch in the middle of a whole mess of crystals is roughly as damaged or if it'll break after 2 shots and **** up my whole gun rack.
- Store all character's settings (graphics, sound, overview, window pos) server-side and make it client-side cached, pain in the rear to spend half an hour putting the client into order when I play on someone else's computer.
- You guys improved the scrollbar? cool, but what about making detailled lists somewhat useable with a horizontal scrollbar?
- Repackage outside stations (POS/cargo hold/container...).
- Make damage an actual percentage and not 0.X %, it's either 0.83 or 83%, not a mix of both.
- Fitting a stack of guns at once and not one by one.

Fix the hours for plex button

Fitting management is the access point for fits that you have saved. To access it now you have to go Fitting -> Browse
