Suggestion: Remote Navigational Assistance Ships and Mods
Keywords: Ships
Note: Imagine a tugboat guiding an oil tanker or carrier through the narrows of a harbor. Just like shield, armor, and capacitor reps, remote aligning should be another form of assistance that a fleetmate can render. The emergent web-instawarp trick demonstrates player demand for friendly remote align but is currently deemed an aggressive act by game mechanics. Ships and mods that can perform remote align assistance will not only make it a friendly act, but also expand fleet gameplay.

Suggestion: Instead of a linking two bridges together, let jump bridges project to cynosurals.

Keyword: jump bridge

Note: This could bring back the unbroken jump chains of the bigger empires, but such networks would not be protected by cyno jammers. A possible caveat could be to not allow a jump bridge and a cyno gen to be online in the same system at the same time. The jump bridge would not be dedicated to a particular cyno but would allow a user to jump to a selected list of cynos within range, including ones lit by fleet members.

This change in the jump bridge would also allow for force projection by smaller groups without Titans.

Suggestion: Add to items an "affecting skills" tab that shows what make the modules better

Keyword: Skills, descriptions

Note: Skills have a tab that show what each skill allows. I'd like for each mod/ship/item in game to show if there is a skill that affects its performance.

Suggestion: Release high-resolution textures as an optional download.
Tags: Graphics, Enabler
Business reason: Relatively low cost to implement (initial setup + ongoing bandwidth costs, though the latter could be worked around), higher customer satisfaction, and supports the Enabler player type. Enablers create videos, movies, stream PVP, and generally contribute to retaining existing subscribers and attracting new subscribers.

Suggestion: Implement a decay system in Eve, where unused towers, containers, pos modules, unpiloted ships and all kinds of space objects, if not used for a period of time will decay, take armor and structure damage, start to become derbis and salvageable.
this will get rid of those high sec and wh pos that have been there offline for years blocking the pos slots

Keywords: decay, unused, pos, salvage

Suggestion: Increase the capacity of component assembly array so that it can hold materials for 2-4 freighter's worth of materials. it's really annoying and stupid to have to calculate and divide stacks every time just to be able to get some production rolling.

I expand the suggestion to increase all pos facilities capacity by 3-5 times. this will make the life of capital producers a bit less frustrating and will not in anyway break the game mechanics of purpose.

Keywords: industry, pos, pos facilities, capacity, minerals, stack, production, manufacturing, components

Suggestion: Add the ability to turn off the jump gate animation.

Keywords: Effects, animations, options, jump, nausea.

There are many visual effects in this game which can be turned on or off at the player's discretion. The jump gate animation introduced with Odyssey is one which could benefit from the same capability. Many players have stated that they find the animation tedious, boring, or annoying when viewed several times in succession on long trips through space. Even worse, some players (and some devs) have reported experiencing physical symptoms as a result of this animation, including mild to severe nausea and headaches. The wild camera swings, rapid first-person motion with no stationary reference object, and brief duration (quickly snapping in and out of a different/moving view does not give the brain time to adjust to visual cues) have all been cited as contributing to nausea, while the flashing lights and color patterns seem to be responsible for migraine headaches.

CCP representatives have stated that they are working to improve the animation, but that it will take an unknown amount of time to do so, and there is no guarantee that any improvements will fix these issues. They have stated that they consider adding the option to remove the animation (as players have requested) to be a "cop out." Meanwhile, affected players continue to suffer from this animation, or stop playing altogether.

Implementing this as an option would in no way affect anyone who likes the new animation, it can easily be left "on," and would give choice to those who, for whatever reason, do not wish to view it.

Suggestion: Add mapable hotkeys for launching drone groups.

Keywords: Drones, hotkeys.

Currently, drones can be ordered to attack, set to orbit, and recalled to the bay by the use of hotkeys. The only command that can't be given by a single keystroke is the launch order; this still requires use of the right-click menu on individual drones or groups. Adding multiple launch hotkeys which can be assigned to drone groups would simplify and streamline the use of drones in tense combat situations.

Suggestion: auto-repackage undamaged items in hangar. this helps reduce the clutter and the countless right click> repackage just to get things organized.

Suggestion: Make celestial bodies orbit each other in real time.
Tags: immersion, player experience
Note. Right now all celestial bodies are static objects with fixed positions to each other. Make them actually orbit each other with fixed, varied speeds. Only jump gates should have static positions, as it's neccesary by the lore, and removed beyond outermost planet in system in destination system's direction (to avoid planet collisions obviously).
