Yes, yes please. Timers on everything that you'd want timers on. This would increase tactical ability when you don't have to count the ticks in your head or risk untimely activation.

you don't use egg timers?


... ASB/AAR reloads, ETA for mod repairs


Could you recommend a good egg timer that keeps in sync with tidi in current system? Would be great!

Hate to bring it up, but a WOW-esk CD timer would work well.
Just a darkened out module that is coming clear as the CD/reload runs

Don't hate to bring up something that actually works well, no matter if it was used in some work you don't like or not. Besides, "WoW-esque" sector indicators existed even in the very first C&C game, and perhaps even earlier.

OT: Bump. Was asked over and over and it would be a great thing to have.

You know a CD timer isn't even hard to implement.. you can use the same graphic effect as reloading has: a flashing module button. Upgrade that with a countdown in the middle and there you are. All done.

Yes.

Cooldown timers need to be visible for Bombs, cloaks, bubblers,etc.

Reload timers need to be visible as well.

Nanite repair timers too.

Also need visible timer for sensor recalibration for Recons and anything using t1 cloak.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I have been wondering how an MMO that has been around over 10 years doesn't have something as simple as timers for modules and such. Also drug boosters.

There are so many things that could use one, even the people at CCP that play the game haven't noticed this omission? We shouldn't even have to point this out.

This needs to be implemented. With TiDi it's really hard to tell how much time you have left before you can use your module again, since TiDi is never constant.

For those wanting an easy Online Countdown Timer\Stopwatch:

But this needs to be implemented and a free bump back to Page 1 you go.

More and visible timers discussed here make a nice grouping of "little things" for CCP Karkur. Please Smile

Supported. This is one of the EVE interface's major failings.
