Great Work Team Pirate Unicorns !

now how do i turn it off.

Agree with turning it off. At least disable it over brackets in space. Totally game breaking from an intel standpoint. Any chance of seeing what bracket was warped to is now completely gone. 99.9% escape route cover up because of this feature.

Good things first.

Mouse prediction: haven't tested it much yet, but it feels good and seems good.

Scrollable bracket lists: fixes something that has been terrible for a long time, good job.

Now for the rest.

What I find most annoying, is the added delay to the bracket "tooltip". Before the update, I was able to instantly get info on whichever object I howered my mouse over. No I have to lead the bracket for 1-2 seconds to get the info. During a fight this is pure horror and very disruptive.

The font on tooltips could be smaller, they take too much space as they are now.

The text content is often redundand and useless. I know that the station is a station. I know that the gate is a gate. I know that mail is used to send mail. On the other hand, seeing the full station name and, after a delay, a list of its services in a scrollable list would be useful. Seeing where a gate leads, with a link to the solar system to click, would be good. Generally, tooltips need to provide more of useful information and less of redundant.

Contrary to what some others experienced, seeing details for inventory stacks is sometimes useful for me - when I use small windows or windows with hidden colums. However, again, the tooltip should be smaller and should not be placed over the inventory window, blocking the view of what info said window may be providing.

A lot of passive modules still have no stats in their tooltips. Active modules are missing the activation cost which may come in handy in certain situations. Same with cycle duration.

Finally, the complete lack of customizability. Some people will want to turn tooltips off. Some, like myself, will want them to pop up instantly, others will want to increase the delay. Some will want to customize which tooltips to show and which not to. All of this really needs to be in the options, because the ability to customize interface is the key to good user experience when you're dealing with such a diverse user base as the EVE community.

This actually shows you what default warping distance is selected, as it did before and as it should. It's useful for times when you forget which it was, happens if you change it from time to time.

Of course it could just show the distance without all the excessive wording, but at least it's not telling you that the station is a station...

Already delivered at FanFest. But protip for CSM9 -- from now on, promise chocolate.

You don't think this one is a little patronising.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but if you are working on the star map, I know I would love to see some additional filtering options. Specifically, the ability to filter by resource availability would be great. Trying to find systems with ice belts is a pain currently, and is my specific annoyance. If you get a chance, this would be wonderful.

The tooltips are amazing!

However, some things I didn't notice because I failed to go on the test server before it deployed...

from a screenshot someone else too: http://puu.sh/8KKR2/9f18a01169.jpg
It would be absolutely fantastic if you could put anchored/online/incap status into the tooltip for anchored structures, because they're frequently close enough for stacking. The old way of doing it was sorta useable for this, although I often resorted to zooming in, the new way is completely unusable, and adding it to the tooltip would be a massive quality of life improvement. (Same for POCO timers visible in space if several planets are stacked; haven't tested that, either.)

Additionally, I unfortunately don't have a screenshot, but the tooltips fail catastrophically when you have a giant blob of ships: it doesn't tooltip more than one at a time, *and* you basically can't figure out what you're selecting until you click on it. I noticed this while grinding a station this morning.

Predictive mouse movement looks good!

Several things, most of wjich has been covered by others in this thread.

First off, I love the mouse movement prediction work! I am having problems using mouse with great precision, so this really helps me.

Second: Why is the very first update after the change from 2 big to 10 smaller updates, and "deployed when a feature is ready", "bla bla bla", being pushed out on TQ without proper testing on SiSi, and feedback/iteration of feedback from the testers ??
This looks very much to me like you say one thing, and then go ahead and do the exact opposite.

Enough semi-rant, now for something constructive:

The tool tips are too fast. If you are in warp, and have camera shake enabled, and your mouse happens to be somewhere in space, any icon that happens to shake "under the mouse cursor" gets a tooltip flashing on, and off screen, making me dizzy.
Please add a tooltip delay configuration.

As stated by others, the tool tips on the overview are pretty much useless to anybody with more than a days worth of EVE experience, so the level of information on the tool tips should be configurable.
I am thin king something along these lines:

Tooltip setting Contents
Off: NO tool tips.
Default: Like they are now.
Limited: A bit like before, i..e the exact ship model, station names, and so on.
Detailed: More information, standing of pilot, in fact just like it was before.

The above would work for the overview at least, other settings may be required for other tool tip groups.

Suggestions, comments, and feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
