Player Features and Ideas Discussion

While probing, I constantly click the wrong things. Or as I see it, the system constantly selects the wrong sutff to be clicked. It also selected that wrong stuff to mouse-over-activate.

When probing, pretty much the only thing I ever want to "activate", by mouse over or by click, is the probe arrows. But these arrows seem to be the last thing Eve selects on click.
- The sphere surface for resizing? Well, I do use it once every 200 scans - else I click + shift-click to select all probes in the system scanner window, then rclick to resize them all at once.
- Warping someplace by rclicking celestials? I do use it once every 200 scans, but I usually use the overview.
etc..

Most importantly to me: There is one single place where you can move the probes. There are other places you can get and manipulate any other kind of information.

Thus, as far as mouse clicks go, a few different suggestions:
Toggle option (with checkbox in system scanner + hotkey) to probe interface / normal interface:
Normal - works like now
Probe interface - only the arrows are clickable

Or, keep it as it is now, but if there is ever any doubt if a click landed on a probe arrow or ANYTHING else, select the probe arrow.


As for the mouse overs that expand lists of planets, moons, belts etc: I really really don't want that cluttering up my interface and hide the probes and probe arrows. Once again, checkboxable toggle to have it work like now or not expanding celestial lists.
Or another possible option would be to make the delay for mouse over celestial expansion an escpae->general settings.
