It's okay, we aren't disabling the UI during the ship-to-pod transition. That would be silly :)

And yet it seemed perfectly reasonable to you that it should be disabled for the new jump animation? Or has that been re-thought after ppl who actually play the game told you it was not the greatest decision...?

I call BS good sir. You might individually play, but from what i've seen, the dev's as a whole do not seem to play, merely interested in creating and bragging about their 'new shiney' regardless of if it reduces functionality. Its hard to shake the stigma you guys put on yourselves after Incarna, then the subsequent Unified Inventory mess....

And then there is the matter of this new undock button....i guess none of you dev's ever considered ppl occasionally don't use the 'station services' panel, and/or have that corner of the screen covered with other windows...good work guyses.

The Developer Hivemind collectively uses the keyboard shortcuts rather than waste time on moving the mouse around. I know this because I'm individually linked with the Dev Hivemind Collective.

Getting podded was pretty awesome, although it seemed to take a lot longer to show up in the clone station than on TQ.

The "clone grade alpha, upgrade needed" in the lower left was a bit confusing, since I knew I was going into an omicron-grade clone. I get that it's there to remind people to re-upgrade after getting podded, but it could maybe be phrased a bit better to make that obvious.

Transition from ship->pod is nice, although at one point I experienced the camera zooming all the way in to the pod even though I had been zoomed all the way out on my ship. Probably would be best to not move the camera around like that.

Edit: Just tested by self-destructing, and the camera zoomed in on the pod again, so it looks like it does that every time...

you should move the local to the center of the screen and add a countdown. "your last chance to insult somebody ends in 10..." ;)

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

Oh, heh, I forgot this in the main feedback thread, but seeing "Clone Grade Alpha: Upgrade Required" *did* give me a brief panic as I wondered if I'd forgotten to activate. It might be worth putting the clone grade which is being activated in smaller type above that so people don't worry too much.

Hey guys. I just had a chance to see the ship/pod kills. AWESOME! Very nice work! It would be nice if the bodies were actually modeled on our characters, even if it was just on our screen :) I mean, you guys did spend all that tech and goodwill capital on creating avatars and WiS. That'd be a good way to use some of it.

Enter grid and you're already dead, destined to be reborn and fight another day.

I would like to see the text display your current clone grade upon death, this way you know by the UPGRADE NEEDED message you need to, and displaying the grade allows quick reference for what type to upgrade to :)

Are there any plans to have a clone exiting a clone vat afte being killed, it seems strange to just appear fully clothed on the walkway .N

Or maybe just have the CQ door open and have a fresh clone walk in.

It would be really cool if the awakening process was like the end of the Origins trailer: The narrator awakens in a clone vat after her ship is destroyed.

I don't like the new undock button, as I always have a feeling that one of my contacts just logged. Position might be OK, but I would make it smaller and change the colour to less intrusive one.

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

i could not find the highly configurable warning system i was looking for :(

there were some options, but it was far away from being highly configurable
