If you're still reading this thread ..

UI

  • Filter for drone damage. Filters in or out drone damage notifications.
  • Warp scramble (or any EW in general) color code for the Notifications log & display. Bold yellow would work out nicely. Bright orange is also acceptable.

Again, if you're still reading this thread:

- Make the mission name on the HUD under "Agent Missions" turn yellow when all objectives EXCEPT being at the drop-off location are completed. Then, make the mission name on the HUD turn green when all objectives have been completed, so that we don't have to check our inconvenient journals every time we think we're done a mission. It would also be nice for a little faction symbol to show up on the HUD beside the mission name, but that would be more aesthetic and less important.

A link to fitting management possibly just a quick load for favorite saved fittings. IE: rightclick fitting window, and selected fitting, could be a drop down menu that shows fittings available for the current ship.

This would make it easier to change from arties to autos, pulses to beams, or Sansha tank to Gurista tank.

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.

Options at mission select for:
NPC A.I. Level
NPC spawn trigger randomization
Amount of NPCs to be default or to scale with amount of players in mission

At first might not sound small but Im sure you have have all this already coded for your own testing. Id like some of these options available to us players so we can choose between the current easy mode of lvl 4 missions or a more challenging version where I actually have to wonder if Im going to lose my 3b isk Golem this next mission because I simply couldnt handle the difficulty I chose

Recently I have had some very good ideas for little things coming from the forums..
eg: Shortcuts for tagging NPCs

I want to make a thread to keep track of all the little things PvE related that will make your life easier.

Please make an effort to keep them small pain-point fixes, not huge 2 teams for an entire release ideas.
To keep this thread useful, I will delete posts that don't fall under little things.



One small request that would make a huge difference......

PLEASE find a way to map a short cut key for opening salvage/cargo containers.....all the clicking when salvaging can be sooooooooo annoying!!!!Attention

Would it be possible for us to get a hotkey/keyboard shortcut for the "Analyze" button in the scanner window when scanning using probes/onboard ship scanner?

It would also be nice if you could move Recover/Reconnect/Destroy buttons to the right of the window away from the Analyze button.

Edit: Hopefully the hotkey isn't too out of scope or too big a job!


Seriously, can we please have this? Like, now?

Hey CCP Affinity I hope you and other devs are reading Soundwave's Little Things thread, it's 56 pages long with only three dev posts so far. Many of them are PVE suggestions. Here are my personal suggestions in that thread.

Clouds or whatever the large particle heavy fog is dis-proportionally hurt FPS.
Please allow us to turn them off or if that's not possible consider killing them off altogether until a better implementation for the visual effect (which adds relatively little to player experience) is found.

Get rid of a lot of the drone complexes in guristas space such as venal, Branch and Tenal because there is absolutely no guristas complexes

A reworked lp store would be VERY appreciated.

By reworked I mean, changing the balance between tags/insignia/ISK/lp. Currently there are lp store faction Items that are worthless because the only way to get them is by handing in huge amounts of tags as well as ISK and lp. Tags arent sold very much and the only way to get them is to run l5s or fw missions.

I saw an idea in an archived thread where lp stores would adjust their prices based on demand. I don't know how feasable that idea is but even lowering the tag requirements on certain items would be nice. Also giving a use to midshipman tags which are currently useless.

If there is no way to fix the tags in the lp store then a lot of those faction items should just probably be removed. At this point theyre is no point in their existence.

How about after the last Incursion in HI SEC dies a 6 hour timer that goes off & a new Incursion spawns.
Last incursions seem to always die in the EUTZ & western USTZ & AUSTRALIAN TZ's seem to always get screwed waiting around for the next Incursion to spawn.

The current way of setting drones to assist/guard is terribad if you are in a large fleet. Could we please make it so that if you have a watchlist up you can right click on the member and have the option to assist/guard drones to that fleet member?

Also, can we please have a list of default AU ranges in a dropdown list on the directional scan?

On that note... please please please let me make the Science & Industry window smaller. It's current minimum is quite large, and I usually only need to display the names of 6 planets. As it is, I'm constantly minimising and recalling it, since, as mentioned, almost all the PI windows refuse to come to the front of the UI.

All I really need is a shortcut-option for open cargo of wrecks (This option is allready in the game, but not availabe wtf??).

If you really want to add something on top of that, give us a shortcut-option for "loot all" aswell.

I've just started exploring.

Please, for the love of god, make wormholes a separate class of signature. 'Neutrino' or 'tachyon' would make perfect sense.

Also, I hope someone's redesigning the probe interface -- it's horrid. Look at the HW2 interface for an awesome way to move units in a 3d space.

At the agents tab while in station, (i.e. guest, agent, offices tab), right click agent portrait to complete mission.

Also, a button to loot wreck/container, or a short cut. Or a setting that tells my crew to loot legal wrecks I've activated my salvager on.

Add "repair hull", "repair all modules", "repair all drones" buttons to fitting panel.

Add ability to inject drones into drone bay while in space - without docking.

Let drones in aggressive mode to auto-attack aggressive ships around w/o player telling them to attack. Right now if ship is jammed released drones don't do anything until commanded (which is impossible in jammed state).
