Dear Duchess Punkturis,


Any chance we could get Show Info on Modules to have a Skills Tab, In addition to prerequisites?

e.g. Large Shield Extender
Shield Upgrades

  • Shield Management
  • Shield Operation
  • Shield Upgrades


In addition, any possibility to get Skill Info explicitly state the Module Market Group it affects and synergistic skills?

e.g. Signal Suppression


    Electronic Warfare > Remote Sensor Dampeners
  • Long Distance Jamming
  • Sensor Linking
  • Weapon Disruption


The latter one is clearly a muddier issue to tackle.

Your loyal servant,
Apollo


woah this guy knows how to ask for stuff Lol

looks good! But I was wondering if the insurance information would be available to just the owner of the ship? don't really want people to know if I'm flying insured or not.


it's only available on your ships (just as it was before - we just moved the information to a better place, and made it more graphical)

I'm seeing a winning formula here...

1. Take a whole bunch of things that irk players every day they log on and fix them.
2. Tell us about it in a devblog.
3. Have the devs hang around in the comments thread to give further communication/clarification/feedback.

We've now seen this strategy twice and it's generating more goodwill among your paying customers than new features. I love new features too, but a lot of this small stuff is pure aurum.

So very much this. I'd imagine the average person who cares about their personnel wallet and corp wallet don't really give a rip about their AUR balance.

It's a meh'ish change, I guess, for corp alts... or people who just use the corp wallet as their own, but couldn't you remove the useless AUR hint and make it list personnel + corp?

Wallet Balance [ALT-W]
ISK amount
Corp Balance
ISK amount

A change like that would take the same four lines, and be vastly more useful to most everyone.


or just display the whole thing? corp, personal and aur... then everybody should be happy (right there's no such thingP)

That works for me, I was just running under the assumption it would be more :effort: to change the lines involved.

Greyscale kind of deserved that feature after all that right clicking Blink Good thing other players benefit from it too!


how about the systems list on the left ? it's gone since a while, and i need it :/

i'm talking about this : http://tof.canardpc.com/view/3ed76b5f-7ed1-4c3f-abd9-69ebe3332cef.jpg

since the beginning on winter build it has disappeared, while i use it very often :/


It's still there, just mouse over each individual block, and it will tell you system name and security status.

Wooo, nice and fancy \o/.

Adding skill category to the info windows: win!


Suggestion for the paper cuts team(s):

Being able to use the shortcut keys to target lock fleet mates in the watch list.

Use case:
Often times logi's will need to keep a number of people target locked, right click ->lock target is not as efficient as [hot key] + right click. If possible maybe shift highlight all the pilots then [hot key]+left click to lock all the highlight pilots?


Have you tried Ctrl->left click on target in overview? This will lock a target.

I like the shift to highlight followed by Ctrl->left click to target multiple targets at once.

I may not like you or your point of view but you have a right to voice it.

I'm at home yes but you are so wrong about the music.. you're probably confusing me with CCP Affinity who has music taste that appeals to more people than my music taste (which my colleagues make fun of me for all the time) Blink

On a related note, can you look into why everyone in a corp's wallet flashes when someone adjusts the corp wallet balance by making a market order or selling something where the money goes into the corp wallet? It's been a weird bug that's been happening for months now. It even affects people in the corporation who can't see the corp wallet at all. This is not simply limited to the corporation this character is in.

While this question isn't related to the devblog-specific UI changes, it is UI-related:

Currently on Sisi the option (in ESC menu) for "Lock windows when pinned" is not there, and my pinned windows can be dragged and resized. Was this deliberately removed? Will there be a way to lock size and position of windows (perhaps a "lock" button on them in addition to the "pin" button?

Please support: export of settings in editable format

Your stuff goes here.

In truth you're probably going to solve it in a coffee break P

<3 Punkturis


On a previous blog you've done for Crucible about the scaling UI, is this the team's hope at fixing the really tiny/fiddly display when it comes to overheating modules? Or do you have further plans to improve the way overheating and heat damage is shown and toggled?

Anyone who is a fan of Justin Bieber deserves every last bit of mocking they get, even if they make awesome changes to the EVE UI Twisted

I know! it's so annoying, it happens to me all the time and each and every time my wallet flashes I go check if someone was nice enough to give me ISK - but no, neverBlink

I'll see if I can do something about it.

Nice tweaks, but nothing really that says to me ‘wow, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time’.

Team Papercuts set a high standard!
