You are most definitely not blind and I have a defect in my queue to prove it


Good to hear, you had me worried there for a second. Almost went out and bought myself a white staff. Glad that won't be necessary :)

Good job with this though, the right click -> keep at range ... ranges have always bugged me and I'm glad that's getting fixed.

If you now would implement a shortcut, or the possibility to set an shortcut, to open wrecks and container, it's more perfect.

And all your other changes, great work.

These new features are great, EvE UI usability is old-fashioned and these changes are needed.

Great job!

I updated the Orbit & Keep-At-Range buttons to save their settings per ship-type. So, your favorite battleship can orbit at 40km, and with the same button, your favorite interceptor will orbit at 3km. I also updated the right click sub-menu for Keep-At-Range to have more sensible options, matching the Orbit options.

We really need separate Warp ranges, though. The vast majority of ships will use Warp to 0, but there are a few cases where I prefer a specific ship type to be warping ~5 KM away at default. Only problem is forgetting to change it back when changing ships has caused... uncomfortable situations in the past x.X

Excellent stuff.

While we're on drone updates would it be difficult to add hotkey functionality to right click drone bay context menus?

Right click launch, right click return to drone bay would be much handier if I could slap them on hotkeys next to "Kill them my robots!". This would streamline drone use in missions and perhaps increase drone use in fleet battles where those menus are often forgotten ( and fiddly )

They already have these, except for the "launch" option. I use "Return and Orbit", "Return to Drone bay", and "Engage" shortcuts quite often (though, as with an earlier poster, I wish mixed drones (e.g. Hornet EC-300's and Hammerhead II's) would just engage as they think best rather than complain that they don't get along and will only do what I say if I address them separately. A launch shortcut key would be...nearly useless, unless you could set multiple launch hotkeys, one for each Drone folder you have (e.g. "Light - Explosive" folder is CTRL+L and "Light - ECM" folder is CTRL+E). For smaller drone bay ships a general launch button would probably work, but we Gallente pilots cry for you anyways. ;)

On one hand, these updates are awesome.

On the other hand, I am disappointed that this was just a handful of devs that happened to have some free time thrown at them by chance. I was actually hoping that CCP had changed directions as a company and was looking at what players wanted.

So after this, it is business as usual, eh?

That kind of job is what I was crying for when I was still subed.

BTW, can you also remove the 'repackage'

as well as bring in Sell Multiple Items Window?

First off: Wow - thank you so much!

What I think should be noted about Team Papercuts is that

1) They FIXED STUFF
2) They fixed stuff WITHOUT BREAKING other stuff (practically every other dev blog - sorry rest of CCP)
3) They were EXCELLENT at customer service - any issues brought up were line item addressed FAST and replied to here with details!!

Holy $h-it, you guys may have beat out Team BFF and the Art Department for title of best team this year - sersiously.

You guys ROCK and I am sure you have noticed - EVERYONE feels this way.

Please come back from time to time in EVE if you can!

Like one poster said, there are some free beers waiting for you guys at fanfest or if I spot you at a bar in Atlanta.

Cheers!

Can we please stop drones from switching targets after the player tells them to engage a specific target, when set to aggressive?

I brought up 5 incredibly crucial suggestions, all of which got ignored and many after me were responded to instead.

I like these devs, they've done more in 3 weeks(based on importance) than CCP has ever done in half a year during my EvE experience. But I'm slightly irked at getting ignored like that. Seriously, that drone commands problem is a HUGE problem that irritates a lot of people.

INB4 butthurt YES I'm severely butthurt at the moment.


EDIT: See? Someone just complained about it above me.
