Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I like the radial menu.

Id like to see the concept expanded so we can hide/make transparent more elements of the ui and only use the radial menu and the overview. (and scanner / chat windows as appropriate)

Eve looks so awesome without all the excel spreadsheets and ancient ship control / shield / armor / module display.

When I want to I pull up the needed UI elements or when something happens eg i take damage or activate a module then parts of the ship control ui area becomes untransperant.

Hovering over a transparent UI area would also causse it to become visible.

Give me the ability to hide the anoying targeting cross lines and other targeting stuff. I want to see the ships not red crosses.

In other news / ui request
I set all my ui that I can to be transperant. Could we have an option to make the background of a window black on the ui elements top bar. just so if i cant see something i can make it black and super visible for a second

Now that you guys actually have me reading F&I, I'd like to comment here that as a mouse-only-whenever-possible-because-I-need-a-beer-hand-free player, I'm a fan of the radial menu. It has become primary in almost everything I do on a day to day basis.

The only place I'm wishing it existed and it currently doesn't is in the survey scanner results window. It's a simple enough task to right click there and lock instead but once you've become accustomed to using the radial menu, the expected behavior is to have a radial option there also.

And I've seen several comments regarding players disliking the radial menu because it "gets in the way when panning the camera" and/or issues when undocking from a station (which both may be referring to the same phenomenon.) I have to concur. Far too many times, I've re-docked or would have redocked if there weren't a timer preventing me from doing so because the radial pops up when exiting certain stations. The camera is so zoomed in upon undocking that you must pan since all available screen is usually station. Unfortunately, it isnt an issue with every station which is why not everyone is experiencing this. But some, like ministry of war, for example, where you usually exit from the top gives a downward camera view, and the necessary response is to pan upward - which is right where the dock icon is on the radial menu. It's not that big of a deal, and since it works well in every other aspect, I wouldn't want to adjust the delay as I only undock a few times a day as opposed to the number of times it works well in space. But I guess it's worth mentioning since it has happened to me too.

I'm loving the radial menus.

That said, some of the actions, the one that catches me offguard atm, is that some functions like "Scoop to cargobay / dronebay" sometimes appear at different positions on the radial menu (sometimes behind the additional options + button). It'd be great if they were made more conformed, with similar commands appearing in the same places on different menus. (Target almost always appear at the bottom of the radial circle for example).

The radial menu is simply awful, it can pop up during lag and you can wind up orbiting an object 20km away before control is returned.

The amount of time you wait while it opens, before allowing you to select an option is simply too long.

I have lagged out several times attempting to warp in Jita simply because the pop up menu does not respond.

It's in the options somewhere IIRC, but don't ask me to say exactly where haha

THANKS!!

the action mapping is pretty cool but what i would like is way to turn it on or off it gets rather annoying in pvp when the action mapping pops up when ypou already have hot keys set up to do what ya need. i do not need a secondary system. its annoying. please come up with something to turn it off.

thank you

I would say squeeze it in on the fleet window. When you activate the radial menu from the fleet menu you get all the fleet options.

You could expand that to useful options from the Watchlist.

Can I edit the radial menu?

If not, are there plans for this to happen?

Or is CCP opposed to this?

I'm trying to decide if it is worth learning.
If it is just another menu with too many options I don't want it.

Also I'd like to see the RM available in station for the ship e.g. cargo hold, drone bay, show info.

If you're going to declare war on right-click CCP karkur then don't chest barge it, smack it in the face
