EVE General Discussion

Own ingame chat messages should be shown in different color!
Also nicks could be in some other color too!

This would really help to keep track on dozens of fast scrolling chat windows while updating market orders and griefing newbies and/or multitasking some other stuff!

Its probably easy to not see the usefulness of this feature but I am sure that everyone would love it and it can't surely be too hard to implement.

Please consider doing something about the f11 mapbrowser. Most people seem to find it fairly useless in its current state. I am not exactly sure what should be done with it but I am sure that there is a lot of room for improvement!

Doubleclicks should be ignored while targeting stuff with ctrl+click. (They cause your ship to move to random direction and you'll notice it before its too late). THIS IS VERY ANNOYING PLEASE FIX IT!!! Can't be that hard! Just one line of code!

Add some better indicator that would make it easier the see the direction where your ship is moving. That would help especially when zoomeed far away.

Option to reverse the mousewheel zoom direction!

It makes no sense that a frigate takes as long as a battleship to switch ammo.
10 seconds in a frigate fight is an eternity, in a battleship fight it's not too significant.

It would be great if the reload time was reduced to 2.5 seconds for small weapons and 5 seconds for medium weapons so that switching ammo types in the middle of a fight can be worth it, depending on the situation.

remove local from high sec
boost black ops
fix contac list
new solo pvp ships

Ability to mute persistent sounds.

I like guns firing I like dmg sounds...but the ability to drastically turn down the sound of shield hardners or other persistanty running mods I want to turn it off.

Currently doing a mission and iritated by the bright background:
Pls give us an option to set nebula to:
- random (for people who want to see all nebulae without traveling into every 0.0 region)
- select 1 specific that you like
- regional (default)

Change F11 map browser to DOLTAN map layout instead of the tangled mess that you get from looking at the actual starmap. Real positions of stars are only necessary for planning jumps.

Let 'Set Destination' plan a route that takes friendly jumpbridges into account... maybe using a list somewhere on the interface that you can populate yourself or import an xml file to. Autopilot doesn't necesserally need to warp you to the JB because nobody uses autopilot in places where Jumpbridges get built unless they're utter morons.

Can we make friendly jumpbridges visible across a starsystem in the same way that gates are visible? Even make them all visible, as Jumpbridge networks aren't exactly highly classified due to being available to everyone in an alliance.

For jumpbridges and titans, please add the 'Jump' button to the Selected Item panel and circular menu? Why must we use the rightclick menu when they work the same as a gate?

Keyboard shortcut for "Open fuel bay" and "Enter starbase forcefield password".

Some way to find out the distance (in both LY and jumps) between two systems in-game while not being in either of them.

Dragging items to a POS silo when the silo doesn't have enough space still produces an error message, and doesn't split the stack (as dragging to a ship's cargohold or a container). I have bugreported this in April or so, and it got marked as a known issue "to be fixed soon".

Dragging a stack of guns on the fitting window should fit as many guns as the ship can fit, not just one. Fitting an 8-gun BS is a pain.

Bring back the name of the person who sent a broadcast to the broadcast window.

Allow me to "View Contents" of containers listed in the corporation assets window (as it works in personal assets).

Checkbox somewhere to disable the free ibis "gifts" I get when I dock in a station in a pod.

Highlight my orders in the market orders window.

"Give items" option for transferring items between alts or friends - just like you can give ISK. Maybe I don't have a contract slot left, or I just don't want to log back and forth between different charcters just to click "accept".

"You can not train this skill because another character "Alt McAlt" on this account is already training "Caldari Titan". Do you wish to pause this character's queue and start your queue now?"

Star map > Color stars by > My statistics > Systems I can currently jump to.

Character Information screen remembering which tab I had open last (Augmentations, Jump Clones, Combat Log, etc).

A readable numerical countdown for the session change timer.

When anchoring POS modules, scale the box-and-arrows interface when I zoom out (compare to the probing interface).

Numerical readout (possibly on mouse hover) of how long till a module deactivates. Obviously useful for modules with long timers, such as cynos or siege modules.

Notifications about contracts in EVEgate - contracts assigned to me, and my contracts accepted/completed.

Bookmark subfolders.

Unlimited client-side saved fittings (with an option to store 50 server-side and transfer between machines).

When adding a contact, allow me to assign label(s) to them in the Add Contact window.

In the contacts window, a filter to show contacts with no assigned labels.

In the ingame browser, do not remember URIs which returned a 404 - most likely typos.

Put the system information in a real window I can move around the screen. Same with the PI interface. I happen to have chat channels on the left side of the screen, and I need to minimize them every time I need to see this info.

Ability to change the few pre-set distances to right-click > warp to / orbit / keep at range to whatever I want.

Automatically insert digit group separating commas while entering a price/amount in the market order screen (i.e. without needing to tab out of the input area).

Cyno (more precisely jump-out and jump-in) effects colored by the racial isotope used.

Dear CCP Soundwave,
Please, create an easier/better UI for overheating modules.


As a full time PVPer,
I overheat modules during every fight.
During PVP battles, you are required to make lightening quick adjustments, and keep track of many things at once (Velocity, Transversal, Distance to target, HP, ammo, drones).

When i need to overheat my Warp Disruptor for example, when my target is about to exit my disrupt range, I have to carefully move my mouse to the tiny little button area to initiate overheat. Then the indicator that is active is quite subtle (from a green to a bright green). Then to deactivate it takes the same amount of effort. Spending the extra time and effort to overheat with this interface, and make sure it is working, costs valuable time on the battlefield. I want to be able to quickly and efficiently overheat my modules, without worry that in the time i spend overheating, I drift into warp scramble range, or let them slip out of my warp disrupt range.

I propose a slider interface on each module icon, sized maybe 40% of the module icon. A slider that is large enough to easily click/drag to the desired state of overheated / not overheated. This slider would have contrasting colors for each state: dull grey or green for normal, bright red/glowing/pulsing for overheated; allowing easy quick feedback of your modules status.

I realize many people would never use this interface that now takes up perhaps 40% of their module icon. So have a menu option to disable/simplify the overheat UI.

COST: This would probably take less than a day of one artist/designer's work, and nothing has to change as far as game mechanics or coding (except for the new option to disable the new UI).

BENEFIT: More efficient and deadly PVP all over EVE.


Thank you for your time, and please sincerely consider my proposal to update the overheat module UI,

For a little thing a sell-all function would be nice. Just a dump to all open buy orders in that station. No orders the item is skipped.

For a big thing... Tugs... yep, new ships... tugs. That'd be cool. A midpoint between transports and freighters.

Agree, that's a big issue with a simple fix. The overheat button doesn't follow Fitt's law.

A better option should be a chord like Shift + Click a module to enable/disable overheat, since that's easier to do in a rush. Then make the overheating indicator clearer, it could turn from yellow (ready to overheat) to green (overheating). The red gauge for damage is pretty clear already.
