Hi there,


I like having information viewable and I don't like things coming up on me without me knowing about it - so the overview itself is a great thing. I think in some ways it could be modified.

I've been flying around the universe and have modified my overview several times but the one thing I can't seem to do is get all the information on my screen at once and still be happy with how much room it's taking up.

I'd like to make a suggestion on at least one column available for the Overview.

You could essentially include the option use the faction logo icons in place of faction names in the Type column or in the name of the object - anywhere there's a faction referenced, just stick the icon in there for that faction.

I know the formatting will get blown away but I'm sure you can see what I mean.



So
Name | Type
Charra VII - moon 19 - Ministry of bla bla bla | Amarr Station Hub |

Could actually read more like

Name | Type
Charra VII - moon 19 - [amarr icon] Ministry of bla bla bla | Station Hub |

or
Name Type
Charra VII - moon 19 - Ministry of bla bla bla | [amarr icon] Station Hub |

i don't think this would be a great idea, and i see at least 3 main reasons for that:

1- the icon would be too small
wich coupled with

2- what about 2 corp / alliances having the same logo?
3- how do you recognize a corp who Change his logo?

and i'm sure there are many more issue with you proposal.

the current tickers are better a doing this job, remember that in pvp it is really important to recognize in a split second wich corp / alliance you have on field or roaming around

I see where you are coming from.
They really shouldn't be allowing players or corps rather to use faction/race icons for that purpose.
They should be more revered than that.

just see how many alliances have no icon and display the default one.....
