EVE General Discussion

The ship that is active while in station be highlighted in the Repair and Insurance windows.

Under the 'Assets' tab include: This and adjacent regions.

Add a second row of 5 tabs to the Overview menu.

Be able to sort local (and other chat windows) by pilot standings.

And a one that really bugs me: Please organise the market listings of items by type, from smallest to largest, and meta level. Not alphabetically.

have blow up pos modules drop ships and large items again

When a module is cycling, and goes... oh... 1.5x the tine it should take to cycle... and the client should know that. Perhaps the client could ask the server, "you still on this?".

Right now, mining lasers and such like to get stuck on... cycling forever. This happens occasionally when boosts come on, go off, etc.

I understand not wanting to have the user spamming the server with deactivate requests, thus the client telling you that you already pressed deactivate and give it a few for the server to respond. But, the client itself should be able to say... hey, I'm supposed to cycle in 109 seconds, and it has been more than 160. Maybe I should check to see if the server forgot about me?



If I drop a rock into the orca fleet hanger, and it says that it now has 70K used of the available 40K m3, perhaps the client should be able to request a refresh of the orca fleet hanger contents. Again, nothing players could spam. Just something built into the client that says...hmm.. this seems messed up. Let me see if I have this right.

I kinda like this idea but you seem to fail to realize something. Just a few things

1> New players coming into game. give them time to learn the game what they want to do then after suitable amount of time they need to join a Player corp or create their own.
2> Corps disbanding give said players time to find a new corp.
3> You want out of your Corp now and got no where to go. Give said player like 4 days to find a new home chances are he already has one lined up.
4> Players booted from corp automaticly go into NPC cor. 4 days to find a new one.

Give the players who are in a NPC corp an incentive to create or join a corp. Start raising their tax rate so much for each additional day they are still within the NPC corp. couple of weeks and your at 100% tax rate for EV ERYTHING!

Little ideas. but base the time off of active subscription time.

Cleaner error messages, that tell us what we should do, not just that we can't do it.

E.g. we know we can't repackage the container because of the 3-week delay. Please tell us when we will be able to repackage the container.

E.g. rather than tell us that you couldn't load all the charges/ammo, tell us how many you did and how many you couldn't.

Add a find in page function to the in-game browser (think Google Chrome or IE).

Please make it so middle clicking a link opens the link in a new tab.

In the orders screen please list the amount we are being undercut buy for orders originating in the same station. So if I have a Rifter for sale for 480k and someone else is selling it for 497k the order screen would show that I was being undercut by 1k. For people with large quantities of sale orders this would be beneficial. However there should be a delay (say 1H, up to 24H) to prevent making 0.01 price wars even worse.

Please add a right-click menu to items allowing you to "find in assets" that would open up the assets search window with the name of the object in question.

Please add a shortcut key for dock/jump/warp to the next location in the autopilot route.

Please make the loot all button actually loot all open wrecks.

Please make the loot all button place items in the largest hold that will hold them. E.g. ore should go in my ore hold; fuel in my fuel hold.

Please make it so that drones slowly repair while in the drone bay (optionally with a module). This should be part of the drone UI rework to make drones less annoying. This is doubly important with the new drone-hating mission UI.

It would be nice if modules that were stripped from ships were automatically repaired, repackaged and stacked with existing items. Then I would be notified how much money was spent to repair them.

I love the default sort for items in icon view (Category, Type; e.g. Modules, Afterburners), but you can't do multi-column layouts in the two list views. Please find a way to give me back my icon view sorting in the list views.

Being able to group items and then sort them would give us this and would be pretty awesome in its own right.

If you allow people to group items by category, then it would dramatically improve my ability to find things. Also being able to select all items in a group by selecting the group header would be excellent.

Additionally group headers could list actions that could be done against the entire group in buttons next to the name. E.g refine all on the ore category. Repackage all, stack all, repair all on modules.

Honestly having action appropriate and data appropriate information for each category of item in the UI would be super useful. E.g. I don't care so much about m3 for blueprints, but I really care about ME and PE without looking at each one. I don't care about meta level for ore or minerals, but I do care about min number to refine. And I don't really want to have 50 different children in the tree on the left for the different categories. I just want one scrollable pane that has all my items grouped with item headers.

The case for ammo bays:

1) Ammo bays make a lot more sense from a realism perspective. Who keep missiles with militants or cows?

2) Additional tool to balance ship holds.

3) Once the things you want to keep are outside of the main hold, the main hold effectively becomes the loot hold and you can add buttons for Sell All and/or Move All to Station and/or Jettison All. Right now I have to fight the UI each time I want to move things and it's a few more steps every single time.

4) It's much less likely that in my T2 ammo'd ship that I want to switch to the small quantity of T1 ammo that I just looted than the other way around. But it will show up in my list of loadable ammo, polluting the list.

5) Mining Barges/Exhumers could be given larger ammo/charge holds for all the crystals they have to carry.

6) Scripts and other consumable items could be stored in the same hold, simplifying the holds to:

harvesting (ore hold)
ship maintenance
ship consumables (ammo, charges, scripts, etc).
general storage
fleet/corp general storage
fuel bay

7) If desired, ship consumable bays could be limited to management inside a fleet maintenance array or station.

8) Dropping equipable consumables onto a weapon or such would load the guns and then deposit the remainder into the consumables bay, notifying us of how many could not be loaded into the consumables bay if the total was larger than the guns

P.S. While I understand one could go crazy with adding specialized bays, I think this one is one that's benefit outweighs its costs. Essentially the remakes the "equipped" consumables model from other games -- board, MMO or otherwise and I think it will be a well understood.
