Ok. I can understand that. Thanks for allowing your reasoning to show.
I can't deny I feel a little this* / Disney trigger warning! now because it was such a cooooool, and unexpected, feature! Smile

But I wouldn't have wanted to be in help chat, when it hit. Or actually, I would've. Anyways, who cares what people write in chat anyway, there's always minimize. Twisted

Take care, thanks for all the great additions, you guys rock!

(*0:29 to 0:40)
Edit: I suppose it wouldn't be enough to
pattern.compile(..)
except:
String.indexOf(..)
because that's not so much your concern as the naive approach expecting "(" et al. to match literally, and not carrying special meaning. Oh well. Aren't kids taught regular expressions right after the alphabet? Blink

This is a use case Jinn Aideron pointed out, that a LOT of market-hub users would approve of:

PLEASE some form of this in future! Would LOVE the ability to nuke long lines of isk-doubling chat spam down to "***" (Yes, we can block specific annoying chat-spammers, but "more powerful" filtering would enable many inventive use cases.)

So after seeing the new ship info screen, I've become a bit inspired to ask for slightly more Feature Creep.

While we are in the mode of little things, can we take these updated Ship Info screens and interface it with 1. Cargo/Ship Scanners and 2. Fleet members for the purposes of Fleet Hangers.


1. Cargo/Ship Scanners

This seems like only a logical extension of the new functionality. It would make the workflow of scanning a ship much more humane when it would pop up a ship info window with the fittings in place, with the fitting tab and its estimated EHP, ect. If you wanted to get really ambitious, (please) allow for the ship info window to do a isk estimate on the fittings and the cargo of the ship and display it in a tidy line in the bottom right corner. Kind of like a pre-killmail of sorts.

These new info windows can also be extended to the Mining scanners and exploration sites so those who do space-violence against rocks, ice, and data containers can also enjoy these new shiny windows. (Super please include the isk estimates here)


2. Fleet Members

It seems like with the infrastructure already in place we could also expand these ship info windows to allow for fleet members to quickly figure out who has room in their fleet hanger to accept things. Or perhaps more relevant/useful by being able to view the ship maintenance bay, it would allow people reshipping mid battle to go to the appropriate capital ship to find their new ship of choice.


Please make these happen :)

Awesome work guys. These are the "little things" that we all welcome to the game. Much more user friendly. Can I ask when we shall see another little thing such as a Text Color sector below the text input box in chat windows Question

And also, coloured text in corp ads, details section would also be welcome. Sure these trivial and minor changes are not hard to implement ?

Hi

Like the word highlight/filter, but it would be handy if both of them had the ability to save and load corp/alliance values.

I haven't read the thread just, just the devblog, so some of these may have already been said.

Quote:
We also know that many of you have found it very difficult to work the linear scan-angle slider, since 5 out of the 7 scan angles occupy the first quarter of the slider’s length (a whopping 20 pixels!). We wanted to make it easier to use, so we changed the slider so it's no longer linear. Now there are seven evenly spaced increments representing 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 360 degrees. We also added a cute little pie chart next to it that will help you visualize the coverage of the selected scan angle.

I'm sorry but this to me is a step backwards and doesn't make sense. Then again I typically only ever used 5, 90, 180 and 360 which were easily selectable.

Word Filtering and Highlighting in Chat

Nice, basic feature of IRC for ages, been wanting it for ages too, any chance of having some form of variable items eg $name, or $corporation or $alliance etc etc

Just confirming, we can have Bounty payments not blink but have Player Donation Blink or vice versa kind of groups?

Fitting in your Fitting tab

Ewwww, who did this? that looks horrid. Then again I've never used the modules tab, didn't even know it was there, if I wanted to look at what was fitted I used the Fitting Window. If I wanted information on what the specs my ship had at the moment I used the Show Info. I had never noticed the Bars on the Fitting tab either showing the amount of CPU used etc

Any chance of collapsing the Slots so that they basically just show the slots without the modules? Most of the time I don't want this information.

Finally though, I love the "little things initiatives" that you all work on. They mean more to me than new ship classes almost every single time.

I love all of these changes.

That checkbox for "Use Active Overview Settings" still bothers me, though. It's a checkbox without a choice. It would be so great to be able to choose the overview setting you wanted for D-Scan and have it be a different one than the current overview.

Anyway - maybe in the summer. Love these changes, and thanks so much devs. Way to go.

The notifications change options where not intuitive for me to find for some reason. Either link them off the neocom settings menu or include a line in the notifications tab that Blink can be controlled in the mail settings window.

If i dont know something about EVE. I check https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide

See you around the universe.
