Hi!

Maybe I'm the one whos missing something here, but I think the overview system isn't working as it should be.

For years now, it's always a misery to set up the overview properly, if there is a new npc or ship added to the game, not just for me but my corpmates, friends etc too.

You have to check a new stuff, save, export, import, check another new stuff in, save export, import etc etc. This is the only way to avoid messing up tabs and types... Pretty irritating.

Lately I had lots of problems again, when I added the tech3 destroyers, and now the drifter BS.

If I check a new type in, I can be happy if it won't mess up all my overview tabs (sometimes for the first check, sometimes for the second or so, but it always messes them up)

Other thing is, today I checked the drifter BS in, and it removed tactical destroyers (almost cost me a ship, coz the big nothing was shooting me like hell, but i managed to get out), which has been removed randomly in the last month a few times!?!?! also.

I don't think this is working like it's intended, so please CCP fix these bugs, or figure out something new for a new overview aswell.

I understand you have to buff the game with new stuff, but please, think about the people also whos playing for years now.

I'll be honest, the only fun left for me in the game after playing 4+ years is pvp. I would like to do it the right way, with a nicely working overview.

I think I'm not alone with this problem, and this isn't the only bug which is present for years now.

Hope you guys can figure out something soon.

Save all overview tabs, even if they were saved already.
Add all new stuff so it shows up.
Save all tabs again.
Export overview.
Reset to default overview.
Import overview.
Check to make sure stuff is correct.

I do that once per expansion, and I've never had a problem with this procedure. Never had to add one thing at a time or anything like that -- if multiple things were added to the overview in the expansion, then I add them all at once.

I've been playing since late 2008, and I've never had a problem with the overview switching settings randomly on any of my characters.

When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me. - -

Until then, I'll just sit quietly over here, minding my own business...

That is what I do, but I guess it should work without this procedure, don't you think?
