EVE Information Portal

This looks great! I also agree that timers on the icons (with a different color from module timers to differentiate) along with ctrl-click and an icon for bubbles would be awesome!

Excellent suggestions, in addition to these, I would also like to suggest that the effects bar icons be sorted by RANGE, left to right. Left being closest.

Great, now how about letting me broadcast the people I have jammed to the other guys in fleet so that we don't all Jam the same person?

Ok I hate to be the one negative nancy, but as a jammer pilot (which means I am inherently squishy) this kinda scares the poop out of me. It means that not only am I already the clear primary to the opposing FC, but now every single person that I attempt to jam will have an extra shiny new notification of my efforts and make me extremely easy to counter. Like instapop every time I attempt to jam. As if it isn't bad enough to be flying a blackbird or falcon or rook.

Secondly...Am I the only person who has spent the last couple of years learning to customize my overview correctly? I am of the opinion that if you can't read your overview, or if you have it set so narrow that you don't see all of the crucial info being displayed there (that CCP took the time to not only build concisely, but fully customizeable), you really should not be pvping. I live and breathe overview. Because I have to. Just like everyone else. If you can't see ewar on overview, widen it.

Furthermore, as a jammer pilot my only real defense is either my EWAR itself, or the safety of the rest of the fleet clogging up the enemies overview. As I am not a primary DPS dealer, nor a tank, it seems like I am being punished. There is no shiney new pop up for DPS guys shooting you. So they will be the only ones with the anonymity of the fleet blobbing up the overview. But now my squishy butt is going to stick out like a sore thumb as soon as I attempt to do my job. It sounds like the devs really want alot of dead jam boats. I understand that Caldari ewar is OP compared to the other races, but that is why every race has a specialized eccm option that they can fit if they don't want to get jammed. There are alot of ewar options, but honestly not many are regularly used other than jamming. I really believe that this is going to unfairly balance the game against me and my kind. Jam pilots are a fairly rare breed and we are acutely aware of how squishy we are and how much everyone else hates us; this new feature will seriously dissuade new pilots from pursuing a career as a jammer. They know that if they do, they will be in for a ton of losses. It's a hard sell to tell someone "Yeah, well you ARE going to lose your ship tonight when we go out pvping. Just like every other night. Sorry bud, that's the new life of a jammer. Oh and I'm not buying you a 19th falcon. Sorry. Fly a blackbird."

fantastic addition to my overview!

thanks, karkur and co!

Now all we need is more manufacturing slots so we can make more ewar ships and modules :)

I am jamming to this tune.

I like the idea of being able to see much easier that you are on the receiving end of a ewar module. The previous tiny icons where a huge step forward in the overall ewar situation and I believe that this will once again make ewar more fun for all parties involved.

Agreed!

Great work, but 2 things really need to be done before this hts TQ:

1. The effects area needs to be movable. (Maybe like the target strip) A lot of my ingame friends play with the targets right above the hud for fast selection. If we need to move it up even more it will overlap your ship.

2. Circle timers are mandatory! I don't think this needs explanation.
