Hi all.

Turning on the new eden open stream I noticed a nice novelty on the screeen: every ship had a "verbose" bracket with the name, shiptype and distance put over it. It is really faster to understand what is going on in space with these "verbose" brackets.

I would really like if this was configurable and we were able to activate those brackets in our client! Wouldn't you like it as I do?

It could be really useful for small fights/skirmishes where the ship count is pretty low.
Dreaming a bit, It could be even useful to have them configurable, to show for example velocity or radial velocity or angular velocity, depending on everyone's liking. When the target count is low, one could even prefer to have the target icons (with all their tank status and possibly other information) directly on the brackets instead than in a fixed place on the screen.

To sum up the content of this post, thanks to the Dev behind it (Are you CCP Veritas?) and please put it into the regular EVE client.

Fly safe.

I think the tournament is serving as an interesting playground for some UI concepts. To what extent they might get integrated into the normal client I can't say, but we certainly appreciate the feedback.

This idea was from CCP karkur btw, I just coded it up.

Well, thanks to CCP Karkur too, then.

To express a more elaborated feedback:


  • The current UI, made up by the spreadsheet like Overview and the target icon + brackets for giving an hint of the position of ship in space, is very good for "massive" fleet battles.
  • In smaller fights it could be more useful to have most information put directly on the bracket: it makes accessing all the data a lot faster for our brain. One place instead of three. Currently accessing all the information requires you to look at (1)the target in space, then at (2) the target icon and then you have to look for (3) the right line in the overview.


Keep up the good work.

A lot that can be done with this in general and the new locking stuff.

Make it so!
