Has something like this been considered for the settings screen, i.e. when I hit esc? It would be easier than logging out entirely and then logging back in, especially with the dual training function now.

As someone who switches between alts a lot these days, I would love to have this.

In the past there was a setting to when you wanted to change characters, it was a simple matter of hitting esc and it would take you to that particular screen to select another character. The way it's set up now isn't very easy especially logging completely out and then reenter the launcher again to pick which character you wanted to play.

Really surprised me they did away with that.

They call it "security", because if I manage to steal the password for one toon on an account surely I will have forgotten the password if I have to log in again for the second toon... /sarcasm

I was really meaning toons on the same account, like how you can have three toons on one account?

Rubicon is updating the character select screen. Hopefully we will get this function back.

Not a forum alt.

For all things good, there was more feedback for allowing switching characters without logging out, then for redoing login screen, so, if they will manage to do it without adding this functionality, they will fail miserably, like the guys who installed this.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Pretty sure it's already up on sisi. They're doing it specifically so you can switch characters again.

Hope... not expect, though. Wasn't the latest news that they weren't going to do it because it was hard?

dual training works for chars on the same account

this way you just close Eve client and press 1 button on your Eve launcher. Fast and easy
