Making information readily available is not dumbing down the game.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Im totaly confused by this line of thinking. Easier access to important information that helps you make smarter decesion now makes anyone using such an interface an idiot? Really? Thats the briliant thought we are having for the day?

Why not reall go backwards ... lets get rid of the ability to use a mouse and force people to use keyboard shortcuts to play.. or better yet... how about just a command line ... Yeah.. that will make us all smarter! Get on it devs!

Seriously OP, you need to invent a time machine and go back to the good old DOS days!

The reality of Eve is that, if you don't love it like it is today, you should probobly go ahead and unsub.

This doesn't change gameplay in anyway. It just presents information that is already available in a better way.

OP is running out of things to complain about.

This could be fun.

You are in your Tornado, in an asteroid belt.
System Security = 0.5
A Hulk is 25 km away mining Omber.
# activate passive targeter
Passive targeter activated.
# lock hulk
[5 seconds...4..3...2...1...] Hulk locked.
# scan hulk
Hulk fit:
Mining Laser II x3
Cargohold Expander I x1
# kill hulk with 1400
BOOM! Your group of 1400mm Gallium Cannons exterminate the Hulk in one shot. It explodes with a blinding flash of light, leaving behind a small pod.
You are now flagged as a criminal and your security status has been lowered.
# target pod
[12 seconds...11...10...9...]
CONCORD has arrived. Your targeting systems are jammed.
CONCORD fires on your Tornado.
Shield: 5% Armour: 93% Structure: 100%
# warp out
CONCORD has warp scrambled you, you cannot escape.
CONCORD fires again.
Shield: 0% Armour: 0% Structure: 63%
Black smoke is billowing from your now heavily damaged Tornado.
# wait
CONCORD destroys your Tornado with the next shot.
*** You have died ***
You are in a pod, in an asteroid belt.
There is another pod 25 km away.
# dock
Which station do you wish to dock in?
# dock in nearest station
Your pod has docked in the station.

Please support: export of settings in editable format

Your stuff goes here.

Actually that sounds pretty cool. Think I might code it...just for laughs.

Yes, because putting essential information about the game into the in game UI is dumbing down eve. just like when they started having 0.0 show truesec.


Give me all your stuff OP.


I've played since 2007.

That info is not essential.


Maybe you should make your own game. Make it as counterintuitive as possible and never improve anything. I would be willing to bet that you find it a very lonely place.
