EVE General Discussion

Fix hybrids. Properly.

Minor gripes?

- Contracts start blinking at the weirdest times; not when I log in.

- Industry window remembers "out hangar" globally. I.e. if I run a copying job and set "out hangar" to our Outgoing hangar, and then run a Manufacturing job, the "out hangar" is also set to Outgoing. The last Manufacturing job out hangar was Production, though. Jobs with no out hangar set that to Division 1, even. It would be great if each industry job would remember the hangar it used.

- Industry window "range" should remember the last setting. E.g. when I do a "copying" job for a POS, it should remember that it was set to "current region", and not default to "current BP location" for everything. (Again, remember this per-job-type; maybe even job type + location)

- The address book bugs a lot again. It regularly does not remember when someone logged off. The only way to update it is to remove that someone from the address book and add them again. This is quite annoying already, but what's worse is that when the FC does that, the fleet advert is removed because you just changed your standings. $/(!)

- Remote reprocessing would be really nice :o)

- It's very annoying to use the "remote adjust market order" feature. To adjust market orders, you want to know who your closest competitors are. But you can only sort the market window by jumps to your current location. If I want to adjust market orders 8j from where I am, it would be really nice to be able to sort the window by jumps to that location, not to my current one.

- The "my orders" list should note which corp wallet the order was set to. It's currently impossible to tell if you ****** up until an order shows up in the transaction log (or, well, you have an API tool, but in-game stuff is nice)

- It used to be the case that you could "right-click + copy" the corp of a pilot from the "showinfo" window. This would copy the corp name + ticker. For some reason, this feature was removed. It would be really nice if there was an easy way to get the corp name + ticker (and alliance name + ticker) from a showinfo window.

- Some star gates have weird bounding spheres. In freighters, it's quite possible that "warp to zero" will put you into the gate, bouncing you off the gate if you don't click "jump" really quickly (and re-aligning to warp out, or worse, trying to crawl back in a freighter, is REALLY annoying). On the other hand, "warp to zero" with a pod can put you out of jump range by a few meters, having to crawl those in a bit.

- The same applies to stations, except I have so far not been warped in "too close". Definitely "too far", though, arriving at 2-3km from the station and having to fly the last bit. This is especially annoying during wars or in low-sec when you actually might lose your ship because of this. WTZ bookmarks help, but still.

- The "setification" of inventories increased speed, but reduced usability. It used to be possible to drop a bunch of items into a can, and they would show up at the end of the list there. When you hit "stack all items", it would remove those of the new items at the bottom that already existed in the can, leaving only "really new" items there. This was extremely handy for loot sorting. Setification removed this feature, first by making it random which stack an item was added to, and then by automatically sorting by type after a "stack all". Would be nice to get something like the original feature back. (If you want to be really generous, add a "market average in the current region" column to can inventory lists ;-))

- Browsing through local in a busy system can be really, really laggy due to the need to load all the portraits. I don't care about the pictures (sorry), I care about the standings - I want to see if there's a war target there, say. Would be nice if we could disable automatic loading of images, and for example only load them on doubleclick, as it used to be.

- Nerf Amarr

- Oh, and nerf Cartel

- Er, where was I. Ah, right, the little things.

- Insurance. During one of the insurance discussions, there was the idea of simply defaulting all ship insurance to "platinum" (i.e. 70% base price payout), without the need to insure them. Insuring ships is a real annoyance. I'd love this change.

- Clones. I understand that "keep your clone updated" is one of those things every EVE player loves, but the need to update your clone after a pod loss is annoying. Primarily, because the main effect is that it punishes you for having lots of SP. This means that high-SP characters are more cautious, and it means that quite a few guides actually recommend stopping to train a character at a given SP level, and start training a new one (strict separation of combat and industry, say), just to keep clone costs low. Just get rid of the need to buy a new clone after getting podded. There is nothing useful in that feature. (You can keep having to buy the bigger clone once when you hit certain SP levels...)

Hm. I think that's it for a quick brainstorming :-)

ESC should close modal windows that are not minimized before going to the ESC menu...

Overview tabs. Instead of naming them manually I'd like them to be named according to the saved overview setting loaded into them. Plus it would be nice to have more the five of them.

One thing i would like to see is the message boards at Star Gates improved on.

1. Animation may be asking for to much, but maybe cycle through characters randomly with bounties instead of flashing the same one over and over. 'Tis my dream to see my smiling face on a billboard.

2. The news ticker could talk about SOV changes in Null.

3. UPDATE THE QUAFE GIRL!! She's still on the old character modals. Immersion breaker if you ask me.

4. ????

5. Profit.

All ship assembly arrays on POS's should be open and show what is being built. This includes super capital arrays. There should also be a timer that says when it will be complete that anyone can see.

-or-

If you want to get creative, then use several different models of the ship being built in different phases and players could guestimate if you will. Or just have the timer public on top of the ship being built skins.

Also move the super capital assembly array outside the POS shield.

I requested this and god a lot of support back in late 2009 - after I started making those videos showing that even a 4 year old could play eve.... but she couldn't handle right clicking down 4 levels or context menus.

I'm pretty sure we were promised this months ago - what happened?

See Capacitor of buddies on watchlist. At least for Logi-Ship-Pilots ( Carriers, Logis )

Black ops black ops black ops!

Jump range could use some love.

Survivability, maybe some more resists and ehp.


Mass selling of goods

putting in multiple industry and research jobs



FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!


FIX THE LOCK DOWN SYSTEM ON CORP HANGERS! Make it a mass lockdown or a mass unlock. not one at a time. If you do this I will have your babies.

Seriously though locking down 1 bpo at a time is super annoying I want to be able to lock them all or unlock them all at once.



EDIT!!! FOR IMMERSIONS SAKE

Please get the gallente pleasure hubs back. Put the current gallente station environment back in the jove stations where they belong.

Bring back amarr chanting.

Change the environments for minmatar and caldari to reflect more their races. Since the caldari are business moguls, maybe stock tickers and or large stock exchange screens make it commerce oriented.

minmatar, - make id a dedication to red green and billy mays and macgyver.


Finally.

Change the stations for jita 4-4 and amarr.

4-4 does not look like a station for the center of commerce of eve online, nor does the amarr oris station look like a dedication to the royal family.

Put level 4 agents back in oursulaert 3 station.

Drones. Fix the damn drones once and for all.
