EVE Information Portal

Oh yes! I am so glad you are bringing back the circle damage indicators instead of the 3 bars we have now! for anyone who wasn't around 8 or so years ago these targeting icons is similar to how EVE used to look (minus the flashes and targeting range stuff)

it looks great!

yahh but when you're gaining speed in a car in real life a speedometer goes clockwise and when u crash and die the speedometer goes counter clockwise or through ur face....

...just sayin.

Great work.. now make it optional! :)

devs,

This is in-fight intel. It's good but don't forget...

When you're taking damage 99% of the eve fights are already decided!

What we really need is pre-fight intel, like for example ship velocity vectors

And what are u doing in a circle for targets that only have two bars not three!

The square icon with three/two layers makes more sense. Surely with all the new effects you know when you are taking damage.

A more important add on would be notification that your drones are taking damage.

Ana,

you are ignoring the fact sthat most of the feedback is indeed positive and that the devs react to feedback and adjust things.

Why do you speak like you represent many people?

Maybe you just go against the tide and don't like changes in general?

This new idea is functional, compresses horizontal width of targets, and brackets will offer new information. Current targets look really dated and don't do anything better than this suggestion, so why the hate?

I would like to start by saying that I like the idea of these changes very much.
They put more information "in the world" rather than in a spreadsheet.

I realise that a lot of people are "asking which is shield" but that doesn't seem to me to be much of an issue
as you can easily work that out once you start shooting stuff and as long as it's standardised as
shield armour hull (going around clockwise starting from 12 o'clock) then once learned it's very intuitive and
easy. (you can put in toggle-able tool tips/labels for noobs if needed)

One thing I do note, for those that are colour blind switching the colour from yellow to red might not actually be
helpful. I would recommend also changing the shape as well as colour (basically make sure everything works
in black and white and I think you should be ok). [EDIT: when a ship goes from targeting to agressing]

However for those with colour vision...

As shown you have white targeting elements (the rotating chevrons ect) which I think could be colour coded
according to your overview settings so that they appear red or orange around hostiles and blue/green/purple
around allies/fleetmates. This would help enormously while doing logistics in combat and ensure you don't
accidentally rep the enemy and shoot your fleetmates.... Cos nobody has ever done that before...

Also on the subject of the UI/overview...

My beef with the overview is that it has to be far bigger than it needs to be to show all the info you need.
And in situations where there are more targets than you have screen hight for it becomes incredibly clunky to use.

My thought for improving it is this. (and this should be optional so you can stick with the old overview, at-least initially)

Use abbreviations to condense multiple columns into one or two narrower ones. and allow for multiple sets so you can have
enemy's and allies separately next to each other.
It could look something like this (with tags and symbols as well but I can't type them.

Hostile Column | | Allied column
Distance | velocity | angular | Target info | | Distance | velocity | angular | Target info
12.6km | 105m/s | 0.0023 | GAL-BSH-DOMI-IVY-{N00b} | | 5,274m | 3750m/s | 0.2573 | GAL-CRU-TRAX-EVIL-{Badie1}
15.7Km | 57m/s | 0.0004 | CAL-CRU-BLAK-IVY-{Stufee} | | 27.4Km | 54m/s | 0.0001 | MIN-BSH-MAEL-EVIL- {Badie2}

Now you can see the ships Race-Class-Type-Alliance/Corp-Name all in one column (with the ability to sort by any of the above in the options.) and you can have both allies and hostiles sorted however you like to allow you to both shoot the enemy and do logistics easily. (the target info column would be a bit like the mouse over ticker info currently, but condensed)

Of course this would require a standardised 3~4 letter abbreviation set for all ships/objects in the game but that shouldn't be to difficult to sort out (most ships/classes have abbreviations in common use anyway).
The item description of items could be updated to include their abbreviations.
Which could also be used for searching for items, which would help with some of the more hard to spell ships.

I think you guys are doing a good job with taking in feedback, like I am sure you will take in my 1 decimal in countdowns under 10 sec (9.9 and down)

Thank you
I'm taking it in but I might not do it I think I actually changed the string so it only has 1 decimal and I think it's probably best to keep it that way for all times.... but we'll see
