Additional UI Scaling Options for High PPI Screens

Hi There!

I just recently bought a Surface Book. I rarely use it for EVE but when I do I find it difficult to set the resolution or UI scaling to something acceptable.

I realize it's a non-standard aspect ratio(3/2) and that it's not meant for gaming, but I use it nonetheless when I can't be at my desktop PC.

The EVE client only gives me one 3/2 option which is the 3000/2000 native resolution of the monitor. This impacts performance greatly but with low settings I still get 60FPS rock steady.

I'm fine with this being the only option I Just wish there were higher UI scaling settings.

For example, the default scaling for Windows 10 is 200% which creates a decent tradeoff between screen real estate and readability.

However, the highest scaling setting in EVE is 150%

Which makes it pretty hard to click certain, small things on the screen. As well as making it hard to read text for someone with horrible eyes like myself.

With the addition of more and more high DPI screens, I think at least 200% should be added in as an option for these users.

Small request for a non-game breaking feature but wanted to put it out there just as well for anyone else who may have run into it.

Thanks for making a cool game CCP!

Best,
