Hey how about some t1 mining lasers for ice to go with the Venture, the noob's would be able to make a useful contribution to corp requirements that way

It is now possible to drop items into containers, which are located in a corporate hangar array (or similar structure). It is still not possible to open containers in corporate hangar arrays.




I'm sure there was some sort of reason for this that seemed sensible at the table, but this is just a little bit ********. How about allowing people to open their containers at will and maybe giving them the ability to password protect secures or selecting customized access rights like corporate hangars on ships.

My feedback:

Flags:

- The frequency of the alert is too much. Please make it so there is a single sound to indicate the flag being raised and don't repeat it until the flag disappears and then is raised again. No indicator for every time the timer starts from 5 mins.

Targets:

- The icons on both the hud and brackets are too large. The huge circle around the in-space target does nothing to help comprehension of what's going on.

- The red dps meter is useless. Doesn't tell me any more than it has hit me recently. The first iteration of this was much better. Please use that.

- The hp bars are not consistent with your own. Make them the same - expand the coverage of ours, or reduce theirs to a sem-circle.

Sounds

- There's far too many gnashing sounds like rats in a roof with minmatar stations and at zero in minmatar ships. Give us some more clanking or industrial noises.

- Blood Raider rat sounds are wicked. Please keep them and expand them them further.

- Rail sounds from serp rats were great too. Really felt like a proper space battle fire-fight! Then it just became too noisy after the second belt. Not sure how to make this better.

Graphics:

- Megathron: The back and underside are looking good. You've killed the forks at the front. Please find a happier medium with the forks.

- Kronos: The flat, wide bridge makes it look a cheap working man's bunnet. The gold looks more like rust.

- Tempest: You've removed all rust-bucket fragility from it's appearance. It looks too sturdy. Give it back some fragility.

- Vargur: It looks like a seahorse.

The problem is that third party players require you to take your attention away from EVE for a slight bit of time to change a track. Whether it's alt-tabbing out or clicking the other side of your hueg desktop to access winamp or some other fancypants media player, it is extra, unnecessary effort and distracts you from playing EVE itself.

When we had Jukebox, we could easily select a predefined playlist of our locally saved tracks in .mp3 format, doubleclick a playlist for specific activities e.g. doing a mission, mining or simply manual warp0 / jumping through gates to your destination, all without having to alt-tab or anything that gets some other window blocking what is happening in the client and reducing our situational awareness in-game. But now as it stands i'll probably be setting EVE BGM volume to 0 and alt-tabbing out to use Windows Media Player or something, all after warping off to a safespot or docking.

If your problems are all about 'maintaining' jukebox functionality, code, or whatever keeps it running smoothly with the rest of the client, it doesn't NEED to be maintained unless you are using some sort of software interdependency. Probably the location-aware BGM setting system in that regard... What can be done in that case is to allow the jukebox functionality to have precedence over that feature.. if the jukebox ever returns. Not everyone wants to listen to the same 50-something tracks eve has after say, 2-3 months all the time.

That and make the jukebox a 'standalone' type of application - something more like an in-game plug-in / add-on that has a separate codebase from the rest of the game, so as not to interfere with or cause problems with it. That way, you never even need to look at it afterwards to do 'maintenance' on it...


I daresay the jukebox is one of THE reasons why i liked EVE a lot over other MMOs, or games in general.

And yet, it goes away.
Please bring it back.


To the haters of this functionality:
Yes, I like listening to my own tracks when playing EVE, and i like music a lot for setting the mood for playing, just so my EVE gameplay experience can be more enjoyable.

I like the jukebox feature, and there is nothing you can do to change that. Deal with it.

what is with the new inventory interface? it was annoying enough that they changed it once but now I have to close my 'in space' inventory in station? also why cant I drop mined ore directly into the orca anymore?

If you can't think of your own, then why should I make it easier for you? I'd much sooner hunt you down with it while you're on mission and make it harder for you. If you want to at least LOOK like you're doing it right, you could start by learning the difference between "there" and "they're".
