Get a second monitor.

Wonderful things happen.

You can have the in-game map open at all times!

You can fully enjoy the hanger!

(note: these pictures were taken months ago)

And if you get tired of that... or don't need to use both screens... a second monitor can increase work/procrastination efficiency. Hell... you can do both with two screens!

That Purifier...pure poetry.

Do they still have that constant humming noise when the map is open? Drove me nuts when I tried. It can be disabled, but only by enabling advanced sound controls and then sliding the map sounds slider to minimum, and with that it's impossible to hear all the little click / selection feedback sounds.

Excellent choice of chat channels!

Cara. Even with 21' that happens

Specially when you are active in many many channels + corp recruiter + alliance recruiter + alliance high command.

In my old days in 0.0 I started refering to EVE as a text based game as all I had on screen most of the days were chat windows and evemails.

Thank god, those times have passed.

Some people do that.

Unfortunately, it tends to lead to step 2:

Mokure Breau
Doomheim

Hopefully the OP keeps playing despite the complete disagreement of this thread.

I personally can't stand the bezel separation. I wish at least one monitor manufacturer would release something like modular panels so we could just put them end to end or something.

Or release double-wide monitors. Gamers and spreadsheet lovers among others would like that.

Inb4 locked because no suggestions/ideas.

So you have told me it's evolved. Well that does seem to continue. I had not compared the old map with the beta till today. The Beta map is Brilliant! I am beginning to understand that it's changing gradually and in the right direction!
I don't want to make you mad. I like EVE and I don't have any power to change it so there is no reason to be mad at me. :)


I agree this would be better done by mocking things up, rather than try to put it into words but that would mean putting in more time than I currently have. Constructive criticism is within the user agreement of the forum. My participation is not out of place but i think the post was moved to another spot.

Are you kidding me? Definitely play eve more !
I type fast! this took very little time to write... maybe I should have thought about it longer. I criticize things I love. Apparently you prefer to shower them with kisses. That is fine with me.
I like using my imagination and thinking about how things I like could be even better.

As for the tabs ..If you know how to move tabs back and forth one move at a time in the order this would help me greatly.

If you go to any web browser you will find that if you drag a tab to the right it will move over past the tab to it's right. Let go and it stays there. If you do this in a tabbed window of stacked data/tool windows in Eve what happens is that the window breaks out of the stack. You can use it independently or place it at the end after the last tab. If you wanted it one tab to the left of where it was you have some serious work on your hands! Essentially whenever you want to reorder the tabs you have to remove and re-add each tab in the order you want them.



Panes are usually defined and remain open all the time until the entire pane view is closed. A good example of a pane is the space view with the new Beta Map docked. If you interact with the PIN button in the title bar if the beta map you will get a drop down menu that lets you dock that map. Choose to dock it on the right. Now you have a pane for SPACE and a docked window for the MAP! This is pretty close to what I mean but for all the tools.

If everything is arranged in panes nothing ever covers up the content of a pane!
A "Window Docks" container similar to the new beta map would basically add panes! This would be perfect! The data windows in a Dock would snap top to bottom in a column down one of the sides, or snap together left to right if docked on the top or the bottom. Combine this with the ability to define and save arrangements of the docks windows etc, recall them, and cycle through open arrangements with a keystroke like alt-tab cycles through open apps in Windows.
