Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What amount of ISK? What numbers? You can't begin to even make these statements without answering the question of how many rats need to be killed and what bounty would be offered on those rats. What if I offer a 1 ISK bounty on the rats in my system? What if I offer 10 million ISK? What if I offer nothing as a disincentive for people entering my space?

Could we please get the targeting mechanic streamlined a bit? I'm tired of click spamming being such a vital game mechanic.

When someone undocks, comes out of warp, or decloaks, I really should not have to spam my mouse button to target them. As a software developer myself, I can appreciate that there are perhaps some implementation considerations, but it seems like it would be feasible to queue up actions in some manner that could reduce or eliminate click spamming.

Perhaps actions could be queued for 5 seconds meaning that if I go to target someone, and they become targetable within 5 seconds, the UI targets them as soon as the action becomes available. I think it would preferable that there wasn't a hard time limit on it though. Ideally, I would like to be able to indicate to the UI that I would like to lock a player, and then have it lock that player unless I indicate otherwise.

In addition to this, it's a poor user experience to have no visual indicator of lockable vs non-lockable. This is not such an issue in PvE, but in PvP, there is way too much click spam, and it makes the interface feel very clunky. Please let us SEE when a user is lockable.

While we're talking about ways to streamline the interface, it would be really nice if point and web could be "primed" in a way similar to the way you prime your guns before a lock is complete. While a target is locked, I would like to be able to prime my point and/or web modules, burn towards that person, and have these modules engage when they are in range.

Add an option to the overview to always bring the next autopilot destination (aka yellow gate) to the top.

In busy systems like Jita it is often needed to scroll through the overview to find the destination gate. Yes, it's possible to make a separate overview showing only gates, but switching back and forth takes almost as much time as the scrolling.

+1 Would be nice to know if it was worth hanging about for fresh ice, or go do something more interesting - like the washing up.

Hi - I'm not that smart and I'm terrible at memorizing things.

The names of ship modules mean nothing to me and essentially every time I go and look for meta4,3 guns I find my self clicking around and scrolling to the bottom of the attributes pages to find the meta level (yes I know awesome people look at attributes but sometimes I rely on the pure meta level)

This goes for faction/deadspace too - also cost is a factor, sometimes the faction mods are reasonably priced. It sure is a lot of clicking to figure this out though. EFT makes it a tad easy but allowing me to see total ship price but yea

Here is a screenshot of what I would like to see

• Show me the meta level in the header (like if a ship is insured or not)
• Show the meta level of the module on the variations tab, as well as sort by meta level
• Showing the price is effective too (as mentioned it saves clicks)

Thank you.

p.s EFT would be better to by this, if the meta level was added as a column in the database browser

This would also fix it, and in a far better way! I was just thinking of a more simplistic quick fix, the fact I can't expand that top window is frustrating!

Suggestion: Make special plastic wraps

Keywords: CoCo, Courier, Enablers, PlasticWrap

Note: Make it possible to ship Ores, "ammo types" or 'Special Bay' groups in special contracts. Make it so that they get a wrap of one of the special hold types. Since we have now special bays in Transport Ships, transporters should be able to utilize them (and it would give a reason to train racial industry to V again).

Such a wrap could be shipped in the special bay type of the sort chosen or in a general freight area. I could image that the special wraps would all have a different color, to make it easier for the transport organisations in EVE. Just limit the max. size of the contracts based on the maximum volumes of the volume bays.

Suggestion: Make it possible to right-click a system that's already on an autopilot route and make it a waypoint in place, instead of having the UI tack it on to the end.

Keyword: UI

Note: This would be a lovely compliment to the market's helpful highlighting in yellow of any purchasable items on your autopilot route.

Suggestion: Make anyone who is neutral (pirates, bounty hunters, explorers) go suspect when they enter a FW plex

Keywords: Faction Warfare, Neutrals, Plex

Note: As of right now if a neutral who wants to kill me comes in to my plex, I have to wait for that pilot to shoot first if I don't want to lose security status. Needless to say my security status was quite low at one point.

• Suggestion: Auto pause and restart skill training when clone jumping.
• Keywords: jump clones, skill training, game mechanic
• Note: Currently have to manualy stop and start skill training when clone jumping.

---

There's some improvements to be made in this area. While I understand there must be some code restrictions to this issue at the moment, it would be nice if clone jumping could be made hassle free in the future.

• Either make skills continue to train when jumping or perform the stopping and starting of skill training automatically in the background upon a clone jump. The need to do this manually is really user unfriendly.
• If possible make it so that we can clone jump directly out of ships. IE: remember the ship each clone is in so you don't have to leave your current ship before jumping.
