Hi, we all know theres like 1million windows in EVE, so i think if we could pull of those windows to an external device, lets say a Tablet, i would help to keep a clear the eve overview, may be we could diplay chats, d-scans, local chat, ship fitting window, fleet window, i dont know , let us pick. I think it could be of great help =D.

Not everyone has one of those...

Although i know there are programs that can turn a worklaptop (or whatever) into a second monitor if you plug them into a pc... I know Teamspeak has a phone compatible version? maybe that helps?

i do have a second monitor, but its the same, i can´t drag just the in game windows to a secod monitor, and also using a second monitor demands more memory etc.. so the idea is an APP so you dont need a second monitor, that way you can have all the overview windows in your APP. Maybe eve you could do some action like warp, jump etc.. from the app to the selected object.

I have absolutely no clue how this would actually work, but it sounds like a fantastic idea.

A lot more immersion could result from having a screen freed up for "the pretty parts" and a command console or whatnot (tablet or laptop) for the controls. It'd add a lot of sci-fi right in the palm of your hands.

It sounds like people would be required to buy this kinda stuff just to make the game work optimally, so I don't have any high hopes for it this decade. Maybe next decade ♥

Step 1. Window Mode.
Step 2. Expand the client so a small bit of it is on the second monitor.
Step 3. Move all the windows into that bit.
Step 4. Adjust the Ship View Camera settings in the ESC menu so you can see more of your ship in the primary monitor.
Step 5. Get used to the new way your camera pivots.
Step 6. ????
Step 7. Profit.

Only a nominal amount more.

But hey... it gives you a good reason to upgrade your memory (~$20 USD). And a medium-end GPU costs as much as a decent tablet these days.

How did you Veterans start?
