I believe its time to upgrade the bridge/jump menu's by adding a new Simple Interface.

What I propose is a simple little window, with two buttons and a list. One button called "JUMP" and another button called "BRIDGE", not side by side to one another, opposite sides of the window.

This is what I was thinking of, the distance and time left on cyno are what I would like to see, but I would be happy with just the location and pilot as it stands now.

Of course the alliance jump beacons would be show up in this list as well. You could sort by the location, pilot name, distance, time left etc ....

I think this would improve the control over capitals, especially titans, but not limited to them, by adding this simple interface.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.


Looks like everything got started with a troll flame-fest, so let's try again. Please stay civil, on-topic, and constructive.

I do have one complain:

Another Window, cant we get away of Excel Online as far as possible?

Edit: i know it seems kinda counterintuitiv but why not use the skybox? As soon you lit a cyno use your Bridge or Jump Module which activate a Sensor-Overlay (maybe different color) and after Scanning all cynos will be marked in the skybox on the position where they belong.


Why I think thats a good idea:

First its more immersive and looks cool.
Second it slows down the whole process which makes cyno litte bit more vulnerable.
Third less Windows, less fullscreen starmaps.

There is already a thread up about this in the Assembly Hall here.

As I said there while I understand you wanting this I can't support it as it is just to funny to hear someone bridge rather than jump while on comms with them.

Plus think of the content lost. This has caused some very interesting moments over the years.

I'm sure everyone who uses the jump/bridge options wants them to be far, far away from each other, (which really rather DOES make sense) I also agree, that events like the battle of asaki would never happen......

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.
