Hello,
Just an Idea on the Extractor heads.... Change the colour to somthing darker.
The white from the dense resources created by the scan results and the faded light blue extraction heads is killing my eyes when I am trying to get them as close as possilbe, so many times I have gotten a headache after setting up my planets for extraction.
I (My eyes) would like to see a darker coloured or even a dark outline on the extraction heads so when I place them close together on a white background I dont get a headache and can still continue to play Eve.

Replay to this post on your feedback for this Idea, I cant be the only one in Eve who geos blind from PI.

The whole colour scheme could do with a revamp, links and everything, not asking for major changes, but on light planets like ice, it's often quite difficult to see installations especially if the stuff is miles away from your command centre where you land when you view the planet.

Maybe something as simplistic as if total rgb values of background colour average = > 500 make installations a darker colour, or something like that (lol you can tell I'm not any kind of programmer (well apart from programming the v+ box to record))

I have no problems at all except with certain of the ICE Planets.........indeed. The rest are fine for me.

If you're installing on a dark planet then simply increase the result range on the scan page so that you are dropping the heads onto dark red areas rather than white.

This won't work for Ice planets or Plasma planets where the colour of the planet itself is an issue. So yeah. Change of colours please, but OP has a work-around. Smile

On the same topic, I would love to have a list of all installed buildings, and double clicking focus them, like double clicking the planet focus the command center.

I like that Idea too, sometimes when placeing the extractor heads my fingure twitches and double-clicks the mouse and the camera zooms/pans to the command center. So having a menu to choose what to zoom to would be nice, also adding a Bookmark of where the buildings are so when u enter the planet it can auto pan to the bookmark instead of searching the whole planet for them.
