+1 MILLION internets to you Phantom

As long as the original icons next to the name in the overview stay as well, i have no problem seeing this implemented, but if those icons get replaced because of this then ill be shooting something in jita soon.
This is in no way faster to recognize who is ewaring you, because you have to hover over the icon first. It is also not faster to lock someone who is ewaring you, because again you have to navigate through 123 dropdown menues, instead of ctrl leftclicking someone in your overview. Theres also the scenario that you want to know who is warpscrambling you, but not do anything against it, because your mouse cursor is busy doing other things, like navigating in space and ****.
As i see it, in those huge blobfest fights, this changes nothing, it doesnt matter who ewars you when there are 1000 maelstroms alphaing your ****. In small fights, having the icons next to the names on the overview, where you should be looking anyway to see distances and ****, is superior to this change.

So please, dont remove the icons on the overview.

I bloody love this!!!11ONE

but if I may,

If this is mentioned somewhere else, do let me know but imma let me finish...

Hows about on the overview, when Xpilot points me I want Xpilot's overview bar to turn flashy green to let me know who is pointing me at the glance of an eye, his range and transversal etc...

So in fights where range control is needed or just in general, you can see that a) your pointed b) the enemies range and all the other stuff you choose to have on your overview

So it would look something like this

It would be much nicer than that as I used MS paint, but it illustrates my point.

Webbing, Neuting and nosing etc could be sorted and prioritised by the player, so for example, If I am being pointed and nos'ed, the bar would be green instead of the colour corresponding to the less important nos.

Feel free to call me out on this if it has been mentioned or implemented some how, but tried to do this ages ago and it didn't work.

This is an interesting addition to the UI and it will be fun to put it through Tranquility testing when released.

The only concern that I have is that the additional client functionality does not cause performance issues either locally or server-side. Any delay or hiccup that occurs during PvP can mean doom or victory depending on who experiences the glitch.

Great!

Suggestion: The circular IU component (with all of its little components) could be improved by allowing players to put it where they like.

This is because I play Eve on 2 screens, and the UI is off to one side and gets chopped in half by the monitors' edges.

I really don't want to have to scroll over something to see who is doing what to me. Typically I know when I am being webbed or scrammed, the important information is the source of the effect, not the effect itself.

If I'm honest, I think this is long overdue. Still, very glad it finally on the way. Thanks!

Just to address some of the comments:

- we wanted to put counter on the icons, but knew when we started the implementation that we would not have time for more than the basics... get this ewar info to you, and allow for some interaction with the attackers through the icons

- we cannot simply "ctrl"+click on the icons to target back because the icons do not represent one pilot... they represent that this effect is being applied to you and there can be 10 players that are behind that icon.

but please keep the ideas coming. We do have designs for feature, but I think it's great to get this out now, as it is, to get feedback from you guys on where you would like to take it

mad lulz at the titan blowing up

Love this new effects bar. Has all the functionality I need.

Kewl stuff
