Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'd love to see the in-game Calendar improved a little in usability. Here's a few thoughts to it if Team "little things" gets some budget for it.

Current Situation
It's barely used because we have to create the event, and also send a mail that tells people the same info again but also refering to the event in the calendar because I can't seem to link it anywhere.

• Corp / Alliance events are rarly posted on the calendar as people don't seem to find it or recognize it.
• Invited Pilots rarely accept/decline, as they don't receive an notification or don't bother to open the event.
• MOTD, mails, or generally "Text" is used to invite to events instead of Calendar
• Inter Corporation / Alliance (Coalition or Joint Operations) Invitations can't be done easely. Only per single invite of every pilot.

Suggested Changes
It would help the organizing people a lot, if they could do certain steps a lot more straight forward. Also the pilots who get invited would be better informed instead of checking other areas for event information (mail, motd, bulletings, ...)

• Linkable Calendar Events so People can share it
• Additional Invitation Options (Public: who gets the link can add it to his calendar, more similar like allowed lists for channel)
• Possibility to auto. send notification to Invited pilots with link to event or (Yes/No/Maybe)-like workflow
• Calendar / Time Trayicon could receive a bit more attention (how many people know there is a calendar?)
• Drag and Drop option to reschedule events?
• Copy Paste option to plan repetive events?

I get it, it's not the most important thing for our serious spaceship business - however, i believe it would greatly improve how corps, alliances, coalitions and player run events are shared. Therefor interconnecting the community of new eden maybe a bit more.

Of course, the possibility to blow up jita or stargates is more important.
