Awesome! One question though:

Does the fleet membership view still refresh entirely (and as a result, reset it's scroll position) when someone leaves or joins the fleet? It gets really annoying have to constantly re-scroll to the part you want to see.

The windows to edit corporation and alliance details are no longer modal, which means you can add links (such as Kill Reports, websites, corporation recruitment ads) to their descriptions.


In this same regard can you change it so that we are allowed to have multiple edit member screens open at once? Currently if you have one open and you hit Edit Member on another person it just ignores you. Many, MANY times have I been trying to duplicate one persons roles to an alt or another member and I have to pretty much write down their role summary.

It would be nice if I could just place the windows next to each other and go through them side-by-side.

While you are working on the fleet interface, are there any plans to make the whole hierarchy tree selectable and therefore copyable into external applications? Currently you can only copy a single line at a time unlike directional scan and various other windows.

Also do you plan on fixing the forever bug of wing commanders not receiving the boosts from the FC position. (only passes them, doesn't get them himself)

I realize the former is probably easier to fix then the latter.

This is a relatively small change, but a really nice one.

Keep up the small but meaningful changes to the UI like this and eventually maybe EVE client will stop being thought of as difficult to use!

Nope... there were a few cases when that happened and I fixed them (should have mentioned that in the blog). Or, the list still refreshes, but finds it place after the refresh

The first one should be fairly easy, let's see what I can do with that.
The second one I don't really know enough about to comment on that.

But, this would really help with reimbursements.

CCP - While your working on the fleet menus can you Please Please Please take a look at this suggestion. I appologize for not reposting the text itself, but Im on my cell and for some reason it only wants to highlight the forums background image. Feel free to edit my post with the text to make it easier for all to you read if you want.

Similar to the green highlight for youself in fleet could you help Wing and fleet commanders identify those individuals in the wing/fleet that have leadership 5 - say highlight them in blue. This would really help in full fleets where a squad has 10 members but nobody has taken the squad commander position. You could then put someone into command immediately rather than search through the fleet composition for the squad member with the right skill.
You are in general not supposed to know other characters' skills; unless you get their explicit approval, such as by them giving you an EVE API key.

Edit: Correction regarding the fleet composition window here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2632802#post2632802

Love it, love everything about it.

All improvements to the horrible fleet window are to be met with hugs and beers Smile

I want to make sure I understand...
If I want to replace a squad commander, its a two move process? First remove the old commander, then drop in the new one? I cannot drop the new one in the squad commander position and have the old one pop out?

And I like the "save fleet setup" idea. Be able to save the fleet with a name, advert, who can join, number of wings and squads, their names, voice options, and if free move is on. Then be able to select: Create "Vincent's sleeper killing fleet" and its all there.

Yes, just like it was before, except 2 drag/drops rather then 2 5-layer right click menus P

And I actually like the "save fleet setup" idea Smile
