Remove them again please.

I merge my ships and items into my station window. My station window does not stretch from top to bottom due to me using nearly half the height of the screen for my journal, scanner and fleet windows, of which the fleet and journal stay in place when docked. The journal acts as an anchor for the fleet and scanner stack when im docked and not in fleet.

This means that the 200px that you wasted re-introducing that logo detract from what was useful space where i could see more ships and items until this patch. I used to be able to see nearly 4 rows of stuff, now i can nearly see 2 rows.

Please at least allow me to disable this icon or re-remove it please.

Is no one else bothered by the complete waste of space that is the corp logo?

Introduce a toggle for it please.

The first thing I tried to do when I saw it was to get rid of it. I don't see it's purpose and don't like it taking valuable screen space, but it didn't bother me too much either. I would like to get rid of it though.

Yep, i know its not a bigger issue like the distorted icons in space and on overview at 90% scaling, the new font truncating heavily, and being too small when scaled down in places like tabs, the windows not locking when pinned, or even staying pinned in some cases or the windows just dancing around the screen for no obvious reason. But for me this is the next one down since the space its taken used to be my hanger lol.

agree,

but Its more that something has to be done with the whole UI- functionallity and window arrangements suck a bit and are desperately outdated - especially if we talk about spaceships.

For null sec alliances / corps who hold stations, having that info window there is helpful to contact the people who own the station.

It's also a sense of pride.

The blue 'i' was sufficient for that.

These corp logos have not been there for over a year, they have RE-INTRODUCED them with this patch. IMO, they need to DE-INTRODUCE them.

As far as I can remember a similar thread was started, when the Corplogo had been taken away (which was with the introduction of Incarna). Many people complained about it. Must have been so many that they decided to bring it back. So I do not see any chance that it will disappear again.

Sure it "gets the job done", but the logo is important to some people who control the station and want to "show off".

There were a lot of complaints when it was removed.

Just make it a collapsable GUI element. Optionality fixes almost everything.

Obviously some people like the corp logo as there were complaints when it was removed. But don't mistake that for everyone wanting it back. I can't stand the waste of space.

Please make it a toggle so everyone wins. It's very easy to learn where to click if you need to contact the owner. In fact, you could even make "Contact us" a Station Service button, taking up 1/25th of the size it does now.

I don't mind the logo being somewhere visible and prominent ... but, currently, they take up far more vertical space than they need too.

I made the suggestion to have it configurable in test server feedback with a screenshot showing the difference.

I find a lot of height is wasted by the station name section of the window. Without the station name I can get four lines of ships or items. With the sation name showing on Singularity I can only get two lines of ships and items. See Image for a direct comparison;

To solve this how about adding station name as a configurable option and the header of the window could be changed to "Station Services : Station Name" rather than just "Station Services"


And also another suggestion I made about the chat window wasting space, id like to se the actuall entry box toggleable per channel now aswell.

4. Being able to reduce the chat window input box to one line high rather than two lines high. Might not sound like much but it takes up a lot of valuable screen space.

Thanks soundwave, I should be able to think of a few more.
