Great fleet UI improvement.

Fleet UI improvements are a plus.

On a related note - there's an easy thing to improve in the Fleet Composition window - it's already a grid, so could it be enabled to "select all"?

So I can do ctrl-a and then copy everything with a single ctrl-c. I can already copy it row by row, but that's not easy when the fleet gets bigger.

The Fleet Composition window doesn't have many uses apart from telling who, where and in what, and that would make life a bit easier.

Hoolllyyy mother of... is this a joke or something?

but only the crystals/modules you have currently fitted

reduces the crystal management pain by 50%, but it still hurts!

that was actually possible before... by doing show info on the crystal, then you would have the damage in the attributes tab

lol I didn't know that Shocked I made a contract for every fu**ing crystal to see how damaged it was LolLol

Don't select anything and do ctrl+c, should copy all the rows Smile

I endorse this product and/or service.

How about letting us keybind more actions soon.

Such as keybinding the tag commands.

It works. Shocked Thanks :)

I must say it's a bit counter-intuitive and I totally didn't expect that window to work that way, but it does and that really helps me. :)

DAMN IT!!! Why don't you guys tell us that you are working on these things, so that we can offer some input, rather than being told the night before the patch.

It was only the day before yesterday that I posted this. Any chance you could squeeze it in?

Since you mention lil random improvements... now that the client has known the difference between BPOs and BPCs for awhile now (and colors to differentiate them).... perhaps you could get rid of the right-click research options on BPCs... since you know... you can't research BPCs...

Thanks for this massive improvement. Saves a lot of trouble herding miners around the fleet window to maintain boosts. Your dev team gets a round of beer from me at Fanfest!

I can't see this being suggested earlier, but can a docked/undocked or in/out-of-system status be shown in the fleet hierachy window? Like greying out any fleet members not in system, or docked up. This will allow quick troubleshooting if any squad complaints about losing fleet boosts.

Thanks and please keep up the great work!

yeah. thats why i meant its still a pita but now easier to manage since you safe a few clicks per crystal.

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
