system names and ships should be automatically recognized and linked in the ingame chat. There is only a very small list which could create conflicts.. e.g if you talk about "amarr" the people and not the system, but his could be easily filtered out... i don'T think this is a problem.

pretty please with cherry on top!

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I... Uh... I guess I just wanted to be a part of this discussion.

And, clearly drag and drop isn't easy enough. Nor is the right-click > Auto-link feature.

Thank you.

Who needs indoor plumbing when you can haul your ass to a ditch?

-Improvement, check

this feature is probably 20min work effort for an intern pulled directly form the uni. I think its worth it/easy enough.

thank you

As long as this "feature" is an option. Because I do not wish to use it.

There is a downside. So, uncheck.

I wish my chats to not look like a friggin' circus every time I mention a system, ship, or whatever else would be hotlinked in the chat.

If this is an option, then fine.

P.S. I will block everyone who used this "feature". It is a horrible idea.

Thank you.
