A Request from Laptop Users

For us laptop users having to minimize the game session and then reopen the game session to check the battery status of our laptops is ......tedious at best.

I suggest that CCP add a Laptop Battery Usage icon to the icon panel that can be turned on or off via the ESC screen and would be connected to a function on our laptops that would produce the same reading of how much battery power is left that is present in the icon tray for Windows 7.

Having this icon will help the lap top users out greatly and would be appreciated.

Thanks CCP for making it happening.

Fixed window mode then. The best of both worlds (full screen view, speed and ease of use of windowed mode).

The simplisity and ease of use is not the reason for the addition of the Laptop Battery Power Icon to be added to the icon panle of the HUD.

CCP knows the reason why such implementation is needed.

Such new design will keep computer engineers and system designers busy developing new methods of incorporating the various game operations such as power management into a displayable icon.

Other incorporations would be to be able to uplink various functions as FaceBook and Twitter into being accesible while in game.

Basically you have a person marked as a Twitter or Facebook Friend. If the friend posts a remark on either type of social network you would receive an email in game that you could open and then repoly to.

Once you click the SEND button Eve mail transfers the reply to the sending where your reply arrives in their mail box or as an actual Tweet or Facebook reply.

I think CCP should also invest in an email service based upon CCP creating such a service so that all comments and subscription reminders remain private and between Capsuleers.

Seriously? ... Seriously?

You're not even pretending to be serious anymore.
