EVE General Discussion

That's a troll posting done right.

Allow me to see how close to a storyline mission I am when missioning. Something like a progression bar towards the 16 missions required for a storyline.

I have 4 changes I would really like to see that didn't make it into Rubicon;

1. When using D-Scan Instead of the tick box "Use Active overview Settings" why not change that to a drop down where you can select one of your saved overview profiles.

2. Locked target icons stop automatically shuffling when a ship is destroyed or unlocked.

3. The Agent locator reply mails should have the targets system and station as a clickable/dragable link. Currently I have to copy and paste or type them out then right click>Autolink>pick the correct item> sometimes respond to a pop up. Its adding unnecessary steps.

4. When A player is viewing a ship, asteroid, can, or item that expires the camera view suddenly violently moves back to your own ship and changes its size to default. This is a very clumsy behaviour I would like to see the camera remain focused where it is until I choose something

There should be an option to have the stargates and stations ON your autopilot route, show in all your overview tabs when those objects have not been added to your overview profile. The stargates and stations that are not in your route can remain hidden.

Hello, I have not seen any of your posts for quite some time.

Man, you still have a thing for folk in NPCs.

There is much more to Eve Online than your odd obsession with NPCs.

You should move on and enjoy other parts of the game.

Feel free to publicly shame me if any this is already suggested.

How about a Monuments Men team for EVE? While most major cities in the world have monuments placed about that are similar to monumetns found in OTHER cities (guy on a horse anyone?) in EVE, as far as I've ever been able to tell, there is only ONE kind of monument. I would like to see monuments as being unique. They tell stories and commemorate events which are important to the fabric of the game. They should be something properly representative, like real monuments. Maybe it could be a contest with the player base and we could submit designs. It could get our resident sculptors, digital modelers and the role players involved. I want more excuses for space tourism!

I would also like to see populated planets have proper names. The proper naming conventions in the reality of the game world dictate that a planet be called "Planet VII" for example (with exceptions for racial home planets). This is acceptable, and accurate, if not clinical, but I imagine that the people who inhabit said planet, or colonized it ages prior, would have come up with something to call it. Humans are habitually sentimental like that. Hell, we name our ships, boats, cars and some guys name their ****. Planets that people live on would likely have a real name too. Again, maybe a fun contest could be held for the players to submit names that would be canon appropriate. Thus, for example a populated planet's details in the info screen wouldn't just say Planet VII but it could read Planet VII (Name).

And lastly, comets. Comets are out there! I don't know exactly how they could fit into the game, maybe they could give off gasses or materials or have some other use. Maybe they would just be a visual treat, a rare and beautiful sight in EVE in random solar systems just like in real life.

Ok one last idea! FLYING SAUCERS. No not flying saucers. I'm done.

Link the system or station in locator agent mails to make it possible to right click -> set destination.

After many years tried some mining again, and I would like to suggest:

When you have an asteroid locked, that will show up "highlighted" in colour in the survey scanner list

Under Character Information screen and Employment history could we have the number of days a player has been in each corp listed at the end of each row.

I have noticed a small problem with the Autopilot, System, Incursion, info boxes in the top left of your screen.

At the end of the title they have a rectangular area of activation that extends far beyond the text this is a problem because;
- when trying to move the camera I sometimes click this area and nothing happens.
- when I double click in space to manually fly it just opens and closes that box.
- when I try to select a in space bracket under that box it just clicks the box.

What makes this problem worse is the background highlight only showing the width of this box is only shown when you mouse over it so you cant have a proper idea of its position until it is too late.

Here is a screenshot showing how overly wide the activation box is compared to the text 'Route'

I believe the width of the activation box should be based on the title width.
