as in, while we are station spinning, we can enter space mode (which will allow us to adjust our overview settings, where everything is laid out) so we can set it all up BEFORE entering space.
we can make any adjustments needed for fleet mode, booster mode, logi mode, mining..whatever.

just a thought.

I was like "Here we go again.." but I was surprised too, I'm surprised this wasnt already added in the game, it gives me time to fine tune my overview while I'm waiting for things to happen.

Came here expecting to rage, was sadly dissappointed by a useful idea. +1 i suppose.

Came back tonight after a break. Undocked. Podded. Honestly, I can't see the problem? :)))

I was expecting the "I want to stand on my bridge" thread also. Was pleasantly surprised, I would recommend maybe saying something about the HUD in the title.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Actually I think this "bait and switch" tactic might work better.

nice idea.. .

it could facilitate the export/save you overview 'fitting' that some have asked for. could only be applied in station

im glad there are others like me who would find this useful.

i think it should be a sticky and vote-able. itll require a little work, but not too much i would think (all we are doing is simulating empty space, no graffix import or anything)...

This would be a welcome addition.

Perhaps something that could simulate war targets or other hostile pilots (bad/terrible standing, criminal flags, etc) so that we could build/further tweak the overview.

I'm right behind you

No, no, no more stickies! Unless they're Dev or CSM approved of course Smile. Don't get "Like Drunk" my friend, there are more important things to fix before this gets "looked at\added as a feature" but as I said I do like this idea.

However, this Forum needs an Up and Down vote system rather than just a Like for positive feedback and flame comments for not liking.

True...
I initially thoght we would get some cockpit/bridge/command center view of a shio what kinda would make ZERO SENSE for a ship flown by a capsuleer since the pilot is actually sitting in a green egg with an engine on its end and the view you see is done by many tiny drones orbiting your ship (I read that somewhere)
Since the drones aren't really big there is no problem if a few of them get destroyed, they are just replenished and when you dock they are refilled without you having to buy them ;)

But seriously- When I am somewhere in lowsec I don't wanna do that somewhere where nobody can find me (=cloaked) but rather inside a station ;)

so, +1 for the good idea Big smile

I noticed there was some space between the Enter Captain's Quarter and the Undock buttons.

It's not very good, but I wanted to bump this because honestly this needs to be implemented for the winter expansion.

Actually, it should have probably been implemented years ago.

We were told that the full page of [Odyssey] stickies would be removed soon. It wasn't even Soon™, it was soon.

Odyssey's out.

I thought I had already given this a +1. At least now I have.
