Love it!

Id like to see the mouseover tooltip changed for each icon. To list the region, or maybe an option for it.

Also when there is a region jump in the route, change the icon to something that can be visually seen.

Screenshot for those who haven't seen it: http://i.imgur.com/ZLnNk.png

I like that the system, constellation, region, and closest object are clickable, but it would be even more awesome if they were all draggable for linkage.

Session Change Timer is finally back to a consistent location, but there is currently a bug where the aggression timer overlaps it. Comparing the above screenshot with this one, it seems like one timer isn't filling the gap seen in the first. As an aside, since there is so much extra room to the right of Session Change Timer, can we have it display time remaining without mouseover?

Another issue is more with the new font rendering than this specific UI element. Since there is still little to no shadowing, it becomes a bit difficult or impossible to read, especially in Caldari space with the super bright nebula.

This. So much wasted time manually checking every system to figure out exactly where you start getting shot. A change in icon may complicate existing icon uses (See + as waypoints), but maybe a simple delimiter will work? Perhaps a / between or [ ] around a region.

Looking at some of the screenshots and from what I've seen myself on the test server, I think it's very nice overall but my two main issues with it is the lack of ability to drag absolutely everything there into chat (the more you can drag, the better imo), and also that it's hard to read in bright areas. That could probably be fixed easily by giving the font a black/grey outline or something like that.

As far as improved functionality, I think that it would be very useful to have it display the sovereignty of the next system somewhere, either on mouse over of the square in the system queue, or displayed on screen as "Next System: Region: Constellation: Sovereignty" as this could save a lot of us a lot of trouble considering the pretty large role standings play in what sort of sov space you can go into without dying.

For example, since I have a negative sec status, if I go into concord space, i will get GCC'd and killed instantly because for whatever reason the concord standing mechanics don't work the same as the other factions (but that's a seperate issue). However I really get no warning if I'm about to jump into a Concord system or any other sov type system, so the only way for me to know is to manually check the next system by typing it in and looking at sov--It would be easier for this to just show up on screen.

Keep up the good work.

Removing information about region changes is definitely bad. I like being able to see them at a glance. Previously you could only see it with the star map open. Perhaps this could be put back in, or a button to expand it.

I like the new autopilot info, especially the "Avoid X" option.

Now the only thing still missing is a right-click option for Optimize Route.

My use case:
- Set destination to System X
- Add several systems on route (A, B, C) as waypoints (lowsec borders, etc...)
- Optimize Route
- Now the destination is System X again, with A, B and C as waypoints before.
- Start autopilot, wait till autopilot arrives at System A


Also, if the "Set Destination" option is used on an existing waypoint/destination it shouldn't just display an error message but offer to clear the route and set destination.

I don't like the "comic talk bubble" look of the autopilot window and the font case of the UI itself.


I prefer to have it remain the same as it is now on TQ. At least keep the overall look the same, it's been working for years theres no reason to completly change it.

One of our UI wizards has added some more things in here, such as waypoints that you can drag into chat and constellation/region info on the waypoint tooltips.

i really miss this feature

This is good; no more having to manually retype destinations for baddies! We really should be able to drag at least Nearest as requested above, though. This would be extra handy for linking a station you're already in that everyone needs to meet up at, especially now that we can set destination and autopilot directly into stations.
