Dear CCP,

Today i noted new "cool" thing :)

When you have 2+ locked target and when one of target killed their icon starts blinking for 1 sec. Its nice. BUT.

If i have 2 weapon group and 1-st group kill target after instantly activating second group system tell you: "You have no target, please select target". It continues till "blinking-dead-target" finally disappear. Then all modules that you activated before applied on the next target in queue.

This is example

As you see 1-st target dead and blinking. I have crosshair while activating 3-4 weapons in the high rack. When 1-st target disappear, modules (that i activated while i have in select object "already-dead-blinking" target) will automaticly apply to second target.

It is realy bad. In most fleet fight people have 2 weapon groups. And if it will take even 1 additional second to apply weapon... Well it gonna be bad :D

This is my suggestion:
After target killed and start blinking system will automaticly and instantly select next target at targets rack (like it do ATM at TQ:
http://ssmaker.ru/836954df.jpg

at screen selected 1-st target. If i kill it it will disappear instantly and system will select target 2 in selected object. If "new" system will do the same will be cool).

PS: Sorry for bad english but i hope you understand what im talking about :D

Agreed. It needs to be looked into. And yes, the Hull Critical must shut off once the armor / shields have been restored. Sometimes I fly with hull damage in the ship, not bothering to repair it since it's not even 1% scratched. Mostly from the pve mission running where I do something wrong.

I do not want my ship to keep flashing just because it has a tiny winy little scratch on the window. I can't speak for everyone else, but I am sure this applies to many more players out there.

I like the new skill changes. I get to pick up all 4 carriers and 8 command ships for free! Dreadnaughts will be available shortly!!

The navy drake looks nice, should be a good ship. I REALLY like the navy raven changes. This ship is going to be a beast. The changes to cruise missile are nice, however remove the increase in explosion radius. It was 300 and is now 330, to give a boost to damage it should have decreased to 270. The original dev post about the changes said we would get a 30% increase in damage part by increasing the damage of the missile (25%) and part by a bonus to explosion radius.

While the new gate warp animation is interesting, after about 10 jumps you wish it would just stop. The problem I have with the new sequence is that it changes the camera from where I had it set!!! It should remember the camera setting from before the jump and PUT IT BACK!!!

I have noticed that if you use the undock option from the ship menu you can NOT abort the undock. The undock can only be aborted if you use the new undock button. Oh, move the enter captains quarters button away from the undock button.....move it further up the screen.

It is interesting that ore and ice mining are becoming more equitable. A well equipped Hulk can mine 2600 m3 of ore or 2400 m3 of ice per minute, with orca boost and mining forman mind link.

The new high sec ice anomalies should be added to most systems just like ore belts, it will help out with the "What do I do when the ice is gone?" wails. Miners can just move to another system. My brief test showed that an anomaly contained enough ice for 1 miner for 30 hours. They will deplete quickly. Having ice in adjacent systems will help with the competition aspect of mining.

For null sec there should be multiple anomalies in a system. Each anomaly should contain just one kind of ice and should re-spawn immediately when exhausted. This will help large mining ops. The re-spawn could also be tied to the industry level of the system, say level 2 or 3 would cause instant re spawn, 0 four hour re-spawn, 1 one hour re-spawn.

The ice compression blueprints should all be changed to take 20 units of ice and produce 20 units of compressed ice per run. Currently 20,000 m3 of mercoxite is compressed into 1 block of compressed mercoxite in one run. The change to the ice compression blueprints would bring the times to compress 20,000 m3 of material in sync.

The dial can be changed to fit your alerting needs. If you want to set it to 25% hull, 1% hull, 0% hull (!) you can.

I'm consistently getting a "socket closed" and disconnection from the test server within a minute of logging in. It was working fine yesterday, and TQ is also working fine.

Edit: Nevermind, seems to be working now. There was a period of like 20 minutes where it would consistently kick me with a "socket closed", though.

This feature has been in the game since Retribution was released 6 months ago.

To turn off the camera tracking, press either C or on the selected item window click the little left hand icon and deselect tracking camera.

My sisi launcher lets me log in but at the bottom it just says "dling launcher update" its sat like this for an hours now and has no progress or something i think its stuck..

When i first heard that Odyssey was about exploration I was really excited cause it is my main gameplay style atm.

I imagined that this would have been the time when finally we would get new plexes and we also had the wrong ones fixed (do you know all the useless drone plexes and the many others with nothing interesting in them ...)

Wen i first heard about discovery scanner I though that we would have had something really new: imagine a new device that allows you (for example) to detect anomailes and signatures in other systems or that tells you how many systems away from you are the good sigs... so you need to move around triangulating them...

When I heard about hacking minigame I though something where the rl player intelligence would have had a part, not something where u just train in-game skills and then fast click around...

At the end are we getting something really new and worth exploring?
To me this expansion just seems a very little iteration of whats already in the game, CCP need to do much better to improve PVE epxerience and to not discourage solo players that are one of the main sources of new players.

PLaying this game since three years now, I was very excited at the beginning but after three years of essentially small iterations I'm getting bored and bored more. If nothing really new will come out soon, I'll most probably switch to Star Citizens or Elite as soon as they will come out.

My2 cents, AY

Please, can you add a option to disable the "Enter Captains Quarters" button? I don't want to enter the CQ ever and the placement directly besides the "Undock" button is... unfortunate.

CCP: What the hell?
Given the amount of complaining over the camera panning after entering a system, and the fact that you recognized this was bad and removed it, why did you go ahead and add it to the death animation?

Forced camera panning/focus is bad, it's irritating, and it's undesirable, especially if it's the result of something the player did not initiate. Get rid of it.
