EVE Information Portal

Looks really good, I might need some time getting comfortable with it though

What is being done to minimize server load for these icons and to compensate for those who do not use brackets? In many larger scale fleet fights brackets are turned off to make sure clients are able to function properly. For many who do not have "current series" hardware when it comes to their processor and graphics card; they may not be able to handle the extra load to their computer. I'm currently running Eve on newer hardware components, but I still keep my brackets off most of the time when I PvP.

That said, the changes look great! Looking forward to hearing more as development progresses!

We have talked about this, and are looking into how we can represent the damage you deal to your targets.

The ships you do not have targeted will have the yellow or red "box" if they are targeting, and if they are doing enough damage, then they will have the "hit icon" play when they shoot you.

Going to repost this as I do not think the devs are looking at the first couple of posts.

I like the idea behind this, as reading things can be difficult. However, can we make it more useful by having the opacity be a reflection as to how well they are hitting us instead of their damage/our HP? For instance: damage inflicted by enemy/maximum possible damage possible? Damage relative to HP isn’t all too helpful because your ship’s health is a very VERY easy stat to keep track of. However, having a visual que to knowing that you are under the guns of your opponent or that you have flown out of somone’s optimal would be VERY helpful (as opposed to having those numbers memorized ).


Also, can we get the damage UI on every ship we have locked, not just the one we have selected? This would help out on logis as well as keeping track of primaries.

Last, with this being a really nice UI option, can we disable the stacked bar of ships we have locked? As it is already on our screen :) (would free up that vital screen space)

I'd like to point out, eve originally had circular targeting icons.
They were removed because they sucked.
Now we get them back.

The client has all the information we need already... if anything you should be worried about client performance. But we are keeping a close eye on that, and if the client is not performing well enough, we are ready to react to that and cut stuff if needed.

+1. The ability to see absolute levels for shield armour and hull would be awesome. Bonus points if you give us the ability to toggle between the two or even better, both at the same time.

Where the damage will be shown??? Over/Above the shooting ship bracket?
And where yours damage will be shown? over/above your weapon?

They look really nice.

One thing though, you said things like Targeting and Agressing icons will be "subtle". I think this is a mistake. Quickly identifying this difference is key to PVP and PVE for that matter and remember there are older players that find subtle = annoyingly difficult to see.

Remember the old icon iteration, the more subtle icons where not popular. One reason was difficulty in making out the subtle differences in the icons.

I'm glad you mentioned that there is something within the new aggression picture.
Being color-blind (well, only red-blind according to my doctor but who knows what that means) I missed that!
