Hi,

Recently i have been unfortunate enough to develop a visual impairment that can not be corrected with glasses or any type of medical treatment. As a player of EVE for 4 years it has become extremely difficult to play now which i'm absolutley gutted by, i have tried bigger monitor and different screen resolutions but I had no joy, so below is what i would like to be added to such a great game.

Feature
A feature that I would like to see in game is the option to increase the text size on the "overview".

Why?
It would make the game alot more playable for people with a visual impairment.

Text in almost every other part of the game can be increased, chat windows, context menus etc.. just the overview that can not :(

Hope this can be implemented

Regards

It does seem rather odd that you can reduce the text size in overview, but cannot raise it. SO, I shall +1.

PS, you could try the UI scaling in the options and boost it to 125% if you haven't already. Only thing I can think of at the moment.

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

AFK cloaking doesn't earn anything, so it needs a buff!

Playing on a 42" screen makes using the Overview a pain - increase the font size would be ausum!

As someone else with a visual impairment, I agree completely.

Definately +1. Before the scaling UI the game use to give me a headache on a large monitor. Now its merely aggravating.

I have one friend who literally cannot play EVE because of the font, and only the font. I have several others who complain about it regularly.

We desperately need a proper way to scale fonts, or at the very least an improvement to the UI scaling (which seems very touchy about deciding which options it presents you with, if any).

Compared to most of the fluff ideas in here, this one would actually be useful
