Suggestion: Add a hotkey for recalling the currently selected drone.
Keywords: user interface, drones, hotkeys
Note: Drone boats must frequently recall drones that are being targeted, and the current system of right-clicking the drone and finding the recall command takes too long and is error-prone. If such a hotkey were present, players would simply click the drone receiving damage and press a single key.

Suggestion: Release unpublished advanced ammo charges (Lux, Desolation, Blaze, Bolt, Storm, Shock).
Keywords: modules, balance

Note: Tech 2 advanced ammo with unorthodox damage types (EM/Thermal Hybrid, Explosive/EM Laser, EM/Thermal Projectile) sitting in game DB for ages. Releasing them will create variety of choice.

Suggestion: Give some clear/visual indication that your ship has exited warp, and that commands may be issued.
Keywords: UI, lag
Note: Would make the game feel more responsive. I might be wrong, but the moment your speed indicator switches from 'in warp' to meter/sec. doesn't feel very precise, and leads to spamming commands and hoping for the best.

Suggestion: Show details about heat damage on module mouse-over. Nanite paste and time required to completely repair with current skills.
Keywords: UI

Suggestion: Ability to drag any linked ship-fitting to market quickbar, not just your own saved fits.
Keywords: UI, market

Suggestion: Make it possible to fit mods that you don't have the skill for (they go offline)
Keywords: Fitting, UI, ship management
Note: Whether fitting ship for yourself or others, this saves time and offers no advantage other than ease of use.

Suggestion: Allow Warp Core Stabilizers to not turn off your MWD or MJD if you have enough Warp Scramble Strength to counter a scrambler. Same goes for ship with + warp core strength.

Suggestion: Crystal Ammo Merge to limit the amount of used, almost finished crystals littering the hangar.
Keywords: Crystal, Ammo, Amarr, Lasers, Used, hangar, UI
Note: An add and subtract system. 10 Scorch all 0.9 damaged when merged became one undamaged crystal. 3 Scorch 0.9 damaged become a 0.6 damaged crystal.

Suggestion: Add active module toggle, proper EHP stats, and align time in seconds to fitting window
Keywords: UI, Fitting Window
Note: See https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=251919 for discussion of this idea.

Active Module State. Let us toggle modules "on" and "off" and show cap stats accordingly. Remember the state of active modules selected (per ship) so they're the same when we close and reopen the window.

EHP. Show Effective HP at the bottom of each damage type color bar column, and EHP/s at the top (based on which rep type we have selected, and applying the state of active modules as we have set them).

Align Time. Show align time in seconds in the navigation pane.

EvE is supposed to suck.  Wait . . . what was the question?

Suggestion: A Cyno Tab in Fleet Window
Keywords: Cynosural Field, capitals, ease of use, capital pilots, jumping, UI
Notes: Get rid of the spamming right click, easily see what cynos are active and when.
Pilot Name - Ship Type - System - Red to Green Bar of time left on cyno.
