Ok, ill try to stay calm and not rant (your not making it easy ccp)

How do i turn off the rotating arrows when i have a target selected?

How do i turn off the scrolling log?

How do i turn off the annoying chirps that occur at random (is there a way to do this w/o turning off all sound)

Is there a way to switch the current targetting recticle to something more functional? (i can barely tell a bs from a frig)

Drones? Help please!

They rotated before, they are rotating now. Make a screenshot if you want them to stop rotating.

Those are capacitor warnings (*beep beep*' low cap!); Esc -> Options -> Sound

Add a "Type" column to your overview.

Take care of them. No afk-droning.

Fly safe! ;)

No fix for arrows.

Scrolling log, move it off screen (sorta, or away in the corner)

Chrips, no idea so guess sound off would be the solution.

Nope

Drones, salvage drones kick ass.

Can't help with the rotating arrows or the hearing test sounds( Eve has sound?), but to remove the log messages.
open the logs and messages page from the accessories tab on the Neocom, deselect everything and that annoyance goes away.

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that. - Kina Ayami

I only ever paid attention to the size of the red cross to suspect a BS or not.

The latest new drone update is quite nice. I'm building my rep up with Amarr and currently stuck doing just L1 missions. Now when I pop my light drones out, the frigs don't switch anymore.

Haven't used drones in any other situation since the latest change.

The scrolling, moveable log is the best thing since single malt whiskey

not random. besides the new capacitor is low warning, you get audio warnings for npc's agressing you, deagressing you, and countdown for npc aggro timer, same goes for pvp flags. beyond that it's still the same.

ye I quite like it now that I've tucked it away out of the centre of the screen.

Those chirps are the warnings about low shield, armor, structure and cap.

I cut down the number of chirps by clicking the options 'square' at the bottom right of the HUD.

Click the sounds option and a magic window appears. Set the notification for low cap down to 5% or so. It defaults at like 30% or something.


This eliminated about 95% of the horrid chirping.



edit: I was getting them constantly when mining even for God's sake.
