Hi All

I had a quick search & couldn't see anything mentioned so just my thoughts on a couple of points.

On the Main PI Screen when looking at your factories/processors etc.

When i check my routes i click on the Building & you get the information box pop up,Click on products then routes & it shows you the routes your products take, The Holograph image of the Building that hovers over the selected facility however serves no Purpose & gets in the way.

Would anybody miss this Hologram of the building if it was removed or moved out of the way as the image of the facility has no relevance as far as i know. Yes it looks nice but i would prefer a clear view of my facilities.


The other item is expedited transfer cool down timer..Why is this even in the game? I don't really want to compare it to Real world But billions of Barrels of oil/gas are pumped around the world each day without the need for cool down timers & eve is set in the future.

I appreciate that it is possibly to do with server load then fair enough maybe 1 min to cool down or introduce a pumping station building but i can't think of any reason this cool down would be needed.


My last point is just that PI looks like it was thrown together the facilities are circles on a planet, Why not have them looking like real buildings, Command & conquerPlanetary annihilation and many other titles of the look down type manage it why not spend sometime bringing PI upto a standard that fits in with the rest of EVE .

Thanks for Reading :)

YES! Finally someone besides me gets that circles and lines on the screen look like crap!

CCP just updated a big part of industry, now it's time for CCP to finish the job by COMPLETELY overhauling the Planetary Interaction interface...

It is an embarrassment to use circles and lines.

Where is your pride CCP?

Agreed.
Or at least more options for those circle and lines.

Check the recent patch notes for PI. I think there was one note about moving it to its own window. That's all the pride we'll get :D.

Oh, and that stupid bug where the window disappears is still there `-ยด .

Using tablet, typoes are common and I'm not going to fix them all.

I actually like the holograms and the way it works now.

Although I preferred when the PI menu was a tab in the Science and Industry window rather than its own separate button like it is now...

Adding to that, perhaps one day DUST operatives will walk on our colonies...and I'll have a use for all those MTACs I'm stockpiling?

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!
