EVE General Discussion

Could you change the way killmails are generated so that when a ship leaves a grid in warp, the people on that ships future killmail are reset.

Its annoying to get a solo kill only to find someone shot at that person 5 mins ago on the other side of the system and is on your mail

Can you please make so that drones don't drop minerals?
It would really help all people and noone would be hurt.
There are many reasons across the forums so i wont write them again, i think you guys know them all.
Thnx.

Planet Interaction UI：There is a million ways to improve it as long as you didn't mean to make it tedious and laborious on purpose...well I hope not.

1.The click has been ridiculously intensive and monotonous, please let us select multiple facilities by holding CTRL or drag the cursor (or even group facilities like weapons) to change the product schemes, select the product delivery destination, build links to something, and pick the material source from the factory side.

2.Add a button on the storage facilities which automatically set all the routes to linked factories to provide materials.

3.Redesign PI windows to display all informations of a facility within a single tab. It is not at least necessary to divide your window into 6 tabs when they all together only take 1/100 of your screen(and this itself is annoying).

4.Make the windows resizeable.

5.A tree index of all facilities on all planets(maybe on left of screen?) will greatly help locating the facilities or operating them directly without even entering Planet View.

6.Let us save the scheme and logistic settings on a planet with custom name. So we can change the product very easily.

7.Not UI though, there should be implants for PI, like enhancing command center CPU/PG, faster factories/extractor cycle, and larger storage space-------if you are still ambitious about fullfilling the potential of PI ,we need more contents to explore.

This. As they are, drones are ridiculously clunky. Using a serries of drop down menus for navigation is bad enough, having to use them to control drones is madness. If you just had a selection of buttons in the drone box, orbit, engage, return, that would be well received I sure.

I have several concepts I would like to see implemented. These derive both from more recent experiences and from those things I loved most about when I first started the game.

I want drones to come back into the light of day, instead of being the backup weapon you use on ships just to make sure you can damage the little ones, or something you cram into your bay for giant fleet battles, cause why not, lets make someone who trained drones to high levels cool again (something I enjoyed basking in when the game transitioned from beta to live). Now I know there was some attempt to make this a reality in the form of the EW drones and the logistic drones, and not being a pvper I have not seen how they fair in that environment, so this is from a pve perspective.
Drone Modifications:
I. Tractor Drones - These would essentially be drones with tractor beams, this would allow those people who dont have the high slots for a tractor beam, or have drone space they are not using to have a interesting utility for drones, and the idea of a drone going out, latching onto a container and bringing it back has always just struck me as really cool for some reason.

II. Drone Miner Ships - One of the things about release that I really liked was how much more a miner using drones could pull in compared to one that didnt use drones. Now given the specialization created by things such as the hulk in direct mining, i could see where giving something like that super mining drones would be problematic. Instead what about ships designed to use new (or augment old) drones to the point where they were highly effective again, say higher per minute yield then a strip miner, but averaging out even or perhaps even a little lower given travel time of the drones. Also you risk having them destroyed as they need to return before you can warp out. Drone mining was always just so fun to me and I would like to see it back in the game as something significant.

III. Sentry Drone Expansion - Sentry drones were a great concept but they really didnt go as far as they could have. They appear to be a way for something like the Domi and the drone based BC's to become viable again, but given that they can only hit very large targets, cant move, and all the other drawbacks to them, they didnt really succeed, at least to their potential. The first modification would be (mostly) cosmetic, instead of just having the one damage type of each drone, turn it into a full fledged weapon system, these are large bulky non mobile drones why not turn them into mini turrets. Now the ultimate would be having fitting slots and being able to stick what ever you wanted onto them, but thats probably not practical. Instead what about having the Caldari drones be missle pods, the amar drones use lasers, the minmatar use projectile and the gallente use hybrid. This would add alot more flavor (and alot more options) to the use of sentry drones allowing you to fit for different circumstances. The second change I propose to sentry drones is either beef them up or allowing the player to fit his ship so the drones can be tanked, say a drone version of remote shield rep and armor rep that would allow the player to target them and keep them alive under fire, some way of making them a viable weapon system that doesnt explode when the next spawn happens.

IV. Mining Fighters - Pretty self explanatory, fighter drone sized mining drones, with scaled up yield, given the value of a carrier I dont think this would be overpowered.

Ship Modules:
I. Gravity Generator - The gravity generator is a high slot module that roots the ship in place and causes anything that could be moved by a tractor beam to be drawn towards the the ship, it also could slow any ships within its range, or other various effects. Essentially a cool implementation of tractor beams, something a little more exotic and out there. Make it a gang support type module, something that requires a rorqual, or an orca to use.

II. Accretion Amplifier - A ship or starbase module that increases the regeneration rate of low grade asteroids, basically veldspar, and scordite, etc repop faster as the ship does something funky with the laws of space and makes the particles in the area clump together, maybe gravity shockwaves or something like that.

III. Asteroid Tractor Beams - This one is off the wall but I have always liked the idea of being able to move asteroids, have helper ships that could drag them to the miners for processing.

IV. Holographic Projector - This module is one I have been thinking about for a long time. What it does is when turned on it alters the signature of your ship making you look like another type of ship to the enemy. Specifically it could only make smaller ships look bigger (no fair making that carrier look like a shuttle). Perhaps even an entire ship type dedicated to this. They are frigate sized, and around cruiser cost to build, but can look like battleships, battle-cruisers, cruisers, etc, a way to inflate your apparent ship compliment.

Well thats it for now, I have alot more of course but that should cover the basics

I don't think it gets any smaller than this:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAKE BOOKMARK PINS STAY SOLID WHITE INSTEAD OF FADING WHEN SCANNING. THE FADING MAKES IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE POSITION OF ALREADY BOOKMARKED SIGS.

So please, change whichever 1 or 0 you need to change to make this happen.

Thanks.

the new font sucks

REVERT TO THE OLD FONT

Bite me, the old font was terribad for numerous reasons! (actually being able to read system names a major one)

Being able to name the POS Moduals would be really handy

quite often when you have several corp hangers in you POS you end up forgetting which one is which.

with the alliance structure system on the tab if you are out of corp you will never know what is in that pos incase it was the wrong one
