What would also be useful is to configure multiple layers of sorting, so sort by type, and then by name?

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

This, I believe, would be a reasonable compromise.

... Exactly how it might be implemented, I dunno. :\

Narrow it the width of TWO parenthesis ?? Give us all a break...and some credit.


Good sir, I do believe you are incorrect, and you will be receiving no credit.

This change allows one to narrow the overview by the entire width of the word 'Stargate', one white space, and the leading parenthesis. Such wasted space on redundant information is gladly removed and will be missed only by a select few.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

How else are you going to use the 'a' 's' and 'd' shortcuts for them?

I have stargates on a couple overview filters that I use on a daily basis. Some for quick use (faster to find the yellow stargate, click on it and press D than it is to r-click and find it in the menu), and in a couple of cases it actually provides a nice barrier when things are sorted by name. Like when I go do some incursions for an afternoon - it helped provide a visual barrier between two different kinds of rats (Schmaeel Medullas and Tama Cerebellums, to be precise) and made it slightly easier to find them rather than searching through a wall of rat names with identical red + signs. An unintended use, I know, but it still worked well. Lol

This would be a great addition.

Perhaps a "pin celestials" would work too, and would keep static locations such as stations, stargates etc at either the top, or bottom of the list, pre-sorted by category. Preferably the bottom.

Edit: Oh for the want of multiple overviews... *imagines one for fleet, one for hostiles, both visible at once*

People proposing station name changes would ruin hilarious player owned outpost naming. No support here.
