Please remove the minimum window size of the "Science & Industry" window or at least decrease the minimum size to something reasonable. When you just want to look at your PI planets and use the shown planets there as warpto options, open up the customs office etc. the window is way to big.

There should really be no need for a forced "minimum size" of a window in the eve client at all.

Thanks

Hmm... There could be something like arrows < and > when in planetary view, so we can easily jump to next or previous planet just by 1 click :]

I back this 100000%! It's kind of annoying.

All I want is a small window with all my planets and maybe a second button in that list which opens the customs office. Double clicking on the planet name opens the PI mode.

Right now it's a right click fest just to manage the customs office.

And btw, the bug which closes the customs office window is still there when you hit transfer. I filed a bug report already, but it has been closed due to "inactivity" whatever that means.

Keep up the good work!

Odyssey: Repacking in POS hangars for modules +1,  but please for other stuff too, especially containers. Make containers openable in POS hangars.

I have a request for the UI camera controls. Something that has bothered me since Eve was launched in 2003

Its awkward to actually "look around" the area. Your ship (or other item in focus) is always the center and using the right mouse button to look around is clumbsy because the 'camera snap back' (while useful sometimes, is more clumbsy than helpful).

How about changing the camera control so that there is no snap back. The right mouse buttom when held will still look around the world, but to recenter the camera you will need to double click the right mouse button (instead of the automatic snapback view). It would be easier to appreciate the world around the ship.

Should be simple to do and would allow us to view the eye candy more.

I like your style. I don't know if other developers do this, but if you can spread this style of interlinking relevant posts to your fellow developers, I think it'll be easier for players to really communicate on topics that are related.

Oh, and thanks for pushing the "highlight our own market orders." This will be a big help for me in the future.

We have a lot of "are you sure you wanna do this?" Popup windows in eve these days; some for silly things, some for usefull things and I would ask of one more:

Unanchoring an assembly array with a running job kills the job and all materials minus the BPO/C you put in. After recently trashed a few billions with this nifty trick I am sure I will never forget it, yet I think its valid to ask to get one of these popup windows saying something about "Hey stupid, there are still jobs running here, are you SURE to tear this down, REALLY?"

I mean seriously, I get them when jumping from system A to B leaving probes behind or when I enter a lowsec from highsec, so why not at a pos module you unanchor?

At the end of the day I am just glad I did not built a titan in there Twisted but just some tengu hulls.


Thanks

Hi I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on previous pages but if you guys are doing some work on the Overview window I have a suggestion.

The god damn icons that indicate whether I'm being webbed/pointed etc are nonsensical in the logic of their placement. What I mean is that they are on the right of our overviews & superimposed over text. My suggestion is to move them to the left, placed just outside the Overviews left window boundary but inline with the ship that's putting the effect on my ship.

This makes soo much sense the current method seems like the icon was added as an afterthought..? Not something the HUD designers in advanced civilisations of the future would do. It's not like I can't see them but I just find it strange where they're placed currently.

check the link a few replies above Phiad, we will get a "buff bar" like every other MMO out there has these days in the next patch. It is already on Sissy. Although I wonder how they will implement an easy way to see which debuff comes from where.

Can I just point out that I have been playing Eve on and off since early 2010 and I NEVER KNEW there were debuff icons on the overview. (I keep my overview columns narrow)

Kind of a moot point now that we're getting the debuff panel but I always thought it was weird that I had to guess who/what was being applied to me when the debuff countdown bars appeared.

Thank God the Devs are finally addressing this kind of crap. A few more changes like this and I'll probably start encouraging my RL friends to give EVE a try. Keep up the good work!

Looks awesome.

Still needs a "Right-click -> Select all; Right-click -> Sell all" though
