Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It would be great if you could allow Players/Corps/Alliances to be drag'n'dropped into the access list interface or at least the search box that appears when you try to add someone to an access list. Currently you have to manually type in who you are looking for.

Rule 1.
Planetary Interaction is repetitive.

Rule 2.
Higher Levels of Planetary Commodities require moving stuff from one planet to another.

Observation 1.
PI Material cannot be stored in the cargo hold of Fittings.

Result 1.
Repetitively clicking on PI Material in hangars is required to fill ships (Usually an Epithal) for transfer to the cargo hold of the required PI Commodity and of the correct amount.

Suggestion 1.
By allowing Fittings such as "Nano-Factory" which contains all the PI material in its cargo hold required to stock my "Nano-Factory" planet I would spend a lot less time sitting in stations and more time in space waiting to be blown up.

Suggestion: include fighter and heavy fighter dps into the offensive group of the fitting window
Keywords: fitting window,
Note: currently the fitting window does show anything regarding fighter dps output

Suggestion: include repairing capabilities as hp/s into the fitting window
Keywords: fitting window, logistics
Note: currently the fitting does not show anything regarding how much rep/s can be produces

come to think of it:
i dont think the changes i've suggested here will provide meaningful changes to gameplay to justify the time spent on making these, SO unless it's a quick fix dont bother

Suggestion: Add producer corporation's name to the description tab of Command Destroyer info pages, like it is the case for all other T2 ships.

Keywords: info, description, window, tab

And same goes for renaming Electronic Attack Ships into Electronic Attack Frigates.

Keywords: category, naming

Suggestion: right-clicking fitting entries in the Fitting Management window should bring up the View Market Details for the ship in question.

Currently you need to open the Info window for the ship from the right-hand section of the Fitting Management window and then navigate to View Market Details from there.

Keywords: market, info, details, menu, fitting

Keywords: in station repair, UI elements

Problem: the station repairer facility lists every assembled ship, container and unpackaged module for repair, even if they have nothing that needs fixing. Also, after looting destroyed player ships, there is the mini game called "guess the right option: repackage or repair" which gets quite annoying after a while. If you try to repackage it, it gives you an error message 50% of the times, because you need to fix it first. If you try to repair it, 50% of the times there is nothing to fix on that module.

Suggestion: station repair facilities should only list items that actually can be fixed. Also the damaged modules could get a red border on their icons, so we know if they need to be fixed just by looking at them, even if they are in the cargo hold.
I know this was mentioned before, even years ago, but this problem is still there, and it's still annoying.

Persistent views.

First, and most important, many people are sensitive to flickering or flashing lights or images - including the new station billboards. It can cause anxiety or, in extreme cases, photosensitive epileptic seizures.

Many, including me have requested the option to turn these off, thus far without success. We currently need to set our hangar view so the billboards are out of frame every time we dock - it would be nice if the client remembered the viewpoint we've chosen so we don't need to reset it every time.

Second, a minor issue, the view I have in space is also reset randomly after every jump. Once I've chosen my preferred orientation and zoom level - the client should be able to remember it! i.e. if I want to look forward over the spine of my ship with medium zoom, I shouldn't need to reset this after every jump.

Thanks.
