EVE General Discussion

Not sure if this was mentioned in this thread too many pages:

Industry Improvements:


#1 Giant Secure Containers (27,500 m3) (3900 m3 is just a joke!)
#2 Strip Miners Automatically Turn Off When Asteroid Is Out Of Ore Units (instead of waiting for cycle to finish)
#3 Ore Compression for orca!! <--- Very much useful since it provides boosts to a fleet which often will fill the orca far too quickly. 3 hulks can fill a boosted orca in half an hour so 10x compression would accually give you 5 hours for 3, or 2.5 hours for 6 ppl.
#4 Give industrial ships alittle bit more power and cpu to fit a proper tank! We can't fit weapons so we should have better defense.
#5 Increase the size of asteroids in belts (more units in single roid)


I'm sure i could think of more just not off the top of my head... give us miners some loving ccp!

Simple easy change that Everyone will love:

HIGH resolution textures. I know some objects don't have this option yet, but for newer ships and the starfield/nebulas there NEEDS to be an option for people with 1GB+ or 2GB+ graphics cards to take advantage of this.

DELETE the Sensor Booster, ECCM, and Tracking Computer effects. No one likes them, no one wants them. Give us an option to turn them off if you want, but no one would care if they disappeared. Everyone that PVPs turns off effects so as not to induce a headache or seizure in anything but the smallest fleets.

CHANGE the T3 remote rep strength bonus into a range bonus. No one fits a remote rep to T3 ships. No One. Ever. Give them a reason to at the very least.

Weapon hit effects that are 'modern' and change depending on if they are hitting shields or the ship itself. I know this isn't going to be easy for All ships on the grid, but make it happen to ships which I KNOW the shield status of (aka, myself, targets I have locked, and people in my watch list. OR add a data packet reporting to all ships on grid when a ship's shields go down and give this a cool effect, but nothing crazy, since shield boosting ships go in and out of shield often as they are under attack.

Somethings complicated:



Visible structure damage when a ship is below half structure. Just give us something beyond the flames out the back. Maybe some ruptures on the surface? Some jets of fire from the hull? Not really needed for cruisers and below, but on large ships, especially capitals this would look fantastic.

Ships with custom explosions. I'd like to see a ship (BC and above) break into a few pieces before a big explosion. Right now, a ship dies and Boom, it's gone. Maybe for smaller ships this is fine, but as the ship gets larger it should be a longer process. It would be nice for a BC to take 1-2 seconds to actually explode, maybe 4-5 for a BS, and a nice 10 second sequence after a capital goes down. And something special for Titan/Moms. I'd love to see capitals have something more involved whereby they fractured into into 4-6 parts over a time then an explosion starts from the one with the reactor. The current 'shell' leftover just looks very 2005. Just something makes it look like there is a giant reactor in some section of the ship and that This is the thing that goes 'boom' and causes the rest of the ship to come apart.

Something really complicated:

A NEW PHYSICS MODEL. I know this is craziness, and I'm not asking for realism, but the way ships move right now makes me cringe. These ships are HUGE. They should feel huge. Seeing a cruiser execute a turn with enough centripetal force to crush the ship itself makes me cry. Ships can have powerful engines. Ships can have powerful gyros for changing their direction, and you can even explain away the whole 'slowing down for no reason' with some fancy discussion about how the warp drive system causes a 'drag' in space. BUT it's all scaled horribly. These ships are big, insanely big. Make them FEEL that way. (easy fix? make ships behave differently with their MWD on).

As it stands, when most ships in EVE turn, they'd kill everyone on board.

Watching big ships move in Nexus made me smile.

Sort chat channels by standing?
at least for the local like jita the scrolling is insane sometimes when you know that you have a wardec.

The option to download textures of higher resolution,
for all those people who like to see eye-candy at higher resolution.

Like me. ^^

So I suggested earlier a way to clean up your bookmarks window with a "only show bookmarks in current solar system" box. Instead of adding this, you guys changed the context menu for right clicking in space so that now your bookmarks don't appear on the first level-- you have to bring up another menu "personal locations" before you can click bookmarks. This is bad!

A way to have direct contextual access to bookmarks and a way to filter bookmarks in the places window to only show places in the current system would be fantastic.

Oh, the ingame calculator!

When i hit ',' -button in my numpad, it should be converted to decimal point and not ignored (Haven't test this on crucible, but it was so annoying with Incarna expansion so i ended up using my own calculator).

Make a textbox to allow me to type longer functions, and let me edit the last function i've used.

When contracting multiple containers, having the Non-Empty Container warning pop up once for each container is a bit annoying. Yes, I realize that each of these 47 of these frigates are not empty, thank you. Clicking [Yes] 47 times is hard. :(

Adding a [Yes to all] button to the options would be nice.

Hi, I am Lord Jita, contract trader extraordinaire.

I used to be able to select + copy the text of the item in a buy contract so I could paste it in my other client and save me having to type it out.
At some point buy contract was changed so the item appears in a listbox with no way to select it at all.

This makes it much more time consuming to shadow somebody.

If it could be changed again so I could copy the text of the item in a contract somehow, that would be great. So, say right click the item being bought in the YOU WILL PAY list and "copy text" or something similar. THANKS.

MISTER! I told you not to post the fourth one!!!!!

Suggestion 1: Personal Assets "Quickbar"
I think it would be convenient if there was another tab in the personal assets that worked like the market quickbar. This way, I could designate a few stations as favorites, and quickly look at my assets there later. I understand that there is already the search improvements, but a few clicks is easier than typing station:"Whatever." Beyond that, the stations in this list would need to continue to be listed even when there is nothing stored there.

Suggestions 2: Differentiate Jumps in Overview
As it stands, all jumps in a route in the overview are shown as the same dull yellow. It would be nice if the next system in route was visually different (i.e. bright/bold yellow) with later jumps remaining the same color. Additionally, waypoints and endpoints could be a different color still. This would mainly help when I have a long, convoluted route that doubles back with multiple waypoints. Obviously, I could look at the route planner, but sometimes I don't immediately notice that there is another gate for a later jump highlighted as well. Alternatively, another solution would be a setting that only highlights the next system in route.
