Overview Filter "State" Settings is very obtuse as well as very very non-sensical from the standpoint of WHY would you want to filter like this.

The issue is simple :

For example, In order to see a CORP MATE to filter out ONLY FOR CORP MATES you can NOT DO IT. You are forced to show all "No Standings"/"Blue Standings", etc with your corpmates because :

You need to add has "Low" OR "Bad" security standings, so you see any corpmates with low sec standings

You need to add NO STANDING filter, so you see corpmates you don't have set any standings.

As of the last patch you now also need to add "HAS A BOUNTY", so you HAVE TO SEE people with bounties, if you have corpmates with bounties.

Basically, it's IMPOSSIBLE TO say "I want to filter for "Pilot is in your corp". and ONLY see corpmates. You have to see, PIRATE, NEUTRALS, and BOUNTIES. Basically, you HAVE to show everyone anyways!! The check should show any and all people who match those criteria being checked, not only those who intersect at the selected criteria.

The reason is simple, the Overview Filter states works on some pseudo-INTERSECTION LOGIC rather than simply UNION logic of all who meet the criteria checked

ON top of it all, it bugs out when I change the pilots standings in the middle of changing overview settings.

This video demonstrates how filtering is crazy :

The only thing you can really do is turn off fleet and corp friendlies from showing up, because that successfully makes sure that you never see them.

After that, it's pretty much impossible to filter for anything.

+1 overview filtering is absolutely unlogical / unintuitive / etc and needs adresing "soon".

Thanks for the support.
