EVE General Discussion

Hello CCP,

I've seen an improvement on the way you deal with things and hope in this thread to make good on a promise of better resposne to feedback.

First off:
I think this patch fixed or improved a great many things. A loot all button brilliant; training times indication for a ship you see but cant fly yet, well done. New nebulas look nice too (and persistent 3d positioning of em - impressive). Finally some love for hybrid gun users. all great stuff.

Just to make sure people understand that this is not a whine thread. There are a few misses too however (in my opinion, mind you)

This thread is for listing them and hoping you pick up on t them. If you got any question or want elaboration - contact me and ill add.

Wreck loot window size
- The loot button is great, but why does the size of the loot window keep resetting? Please make it so that the game remembers the preferred "wreck cargo windows size" please. Sometime you DO want to choose by hand. it annoying to have to resize the window every time.

Gallente retextures
- No accounting for taste obviously but most of the gallente retextures dont really work. why?
1 lore reason:
Gallente are supposed to be the artistic heart and soul of the eve universe. They now fly the drabbest colored ships around. Doesnt feel gallente at all. I'm sure its possible to come up with a slightly 'darker' theme without taking it this far.

more important - gameplay reason:
It looks ok enough in hangar but out in space i can hardly see my ship anymore. Thats annoying. I'm missing visual clues.
Its to dark to make out details. Even in the "sunny side" you can hardly see stuff. The bright new nebulas make this even worse,

both things make me a bit sorry for the obvious work that went into it - but it needs a rethink. I dont mind the actual new looks, but please a little more color saturation and/or reflection would go a long way.

fleet window disppears
havent been able to reproduce but my fleet window disappears occasionally.

font
I dont mind the new font nearly as much ans many other people, but i wouldn;t call it an improvement. Its too "thin" by lack of a better word. Makes it harder on the eyes to read it.
Im sure its possible to come up with something that scales but is easier on the eyes

Galaxy Map
not a very big gripe - but is the map really supposed to take that long to load?
we are taking 15+ seconds here.
edit: Seems to be only the first time after client start - so really just a niggle

Why not use the official feedback threads or any of the already existing threads?

added galaxy map load times

Nebulae brightness is fine.
There are 2 things that make your ship invisible:
1. You zoom out too much so your ship becomes a dot on the screen.
2. Your monitor gamma is set on low. Which means everything is dark. When I start EvE I usually put my brightness +20% more which makes everything just fine.

Okay, there is one more reason why you can't see a ship:
It's actually CCP's fault. After a patch every ship became much more darker:
Caldari are now dark grey
Gallente are now dark green plus some metallic grey
Amarr are now dirty-beige
And Minmatar is just with old darker colors

Moreover Oracle is just a dirty-looking ship. Doesn't fit Amarr armor patter at all.
