This is more visual and user comfort than anything else, so low priority, but I feel would visually smooth out the release and give a bit more cool factor to it.

First, the route list. Right now, next system is above the list, and final destination is below. The filled in box I find is a bit too chunky. It is right there in the face. Personally, I prefer the old route visually; ess obtrusive (maybe take points from it or allow it to be user selectable?) . Seccond part of it is due to the next stop being above. For most players, your ship, controls for warp, speed etc are bottom, overview on right. Now when glancing up to next system, it is usually bottom of the screen up to the top left corner. But what I find is that my eyes and am sure most other people, scan the bottom part first then the top, is a bit un natural as to how I look at it. Can we get the next stop on the bottom?

Second, the Naga center of mass. Sensor boosters, other effects, all emit from the center of ship. However, the naga center of mass at the moment is between the two mounting plates. Looks bad with the sebu and other stuff. What I think is it needs to be rear offset, much like how the phoon is forward mounted. For the purpose of visuals. Plus is where missiles will launch from, so would work better that way too if charging, they stream from between the spokes I guess could call them.

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

Fix the Myrmidon while you guys are at it.

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

I prefer the new route map visually, not too clunky etc. Not sure about swapping next - would need to try it.

As far as the centre of mass is concerned, makes no sense - there's no mass there - therefore...brain/hurt Blink

Of course there is mass. What's lacking is weight, which is gravity + mass.

Yeah I have to say the new route thing is much nicer, they also got rid of that almost transparent box underneath the whole thing which pleases me. I always hated that thing.

Although maybe have a different icon if your destination is a station? Like a circle maybe, or hollow box. It could get confusing having the system destination and then the station destination behind it.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, try setting destination to a station in another system and autopilot there)
