Hades and Charon funeral parlour 97
Naimas Alvares Hades and Charon funeral parlour Likes received: 97	#1 - 2013-05-14 08:16:39 UTC 21 How about adding mjd activation timer (or graphical indication)? As i remember something like that was planned alongside with initial MJD release. Clicking activation button to see text window "1 min 34 sec left" isn't a good design :) Si vis pacem, para bellum.

No, it's not "cheating" it's "usability"! You can (and must) use stopwatch (or something similar) now, but this ability can (and must) be implemented ingame.

PS: you can open info on such module and you'll see reactivation time - it's not a secret. Then you can activate this module and use something to count seconds, so you'll know when it's ready. Why not to make our life easy?

I made the suggestion to use the same cycle circle mechanic. Only instead of it going clockwise and being white, have it go counter clock wise and be red. Also the tool tip telling exactly how long before the module is ready to be used again would be nice.

This could be added to all modules that have a cool down period. MJD's, Interdiction Sphere Launcher and others.

Grunnax Aurelius Banana-Republic. Shadow Cartel Likes received: 300	#11 - 2013-05-17 07:44:47 UTC Also add an Overheat Function that automatically burns the module, but acts as a 1LY Jump Drive that can look onto Cynosural Field Generators, allows skipping a couple systems and interesting game play. Probably a bad idea. +1 to cooldown times on modules like MJD, Cyno, Bomb Launchers etc... https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=342042&find=unread
