Regarding the "cooldown" timer... would have added it now if it wasn't for the damn bomb launchers (and maybe more) that can both be recharged and have a "cooldown". But let's see what we can do :)

Dev Team: I love you all so much, a huge thank you for all those changes. I've been dreaming of them for forever, and you're making the dream a reality. Seriously, go tell your boss you all deserve a raise, and when I make it to fanfest, I'll buy you all a beer.

Glad to know the cooldown timers are on your radar.

The color setting you did to fleet window are BIG things to logistic pilots. Thanks.

3> you Karkur. I think it would be better if survey scanner was 'real time' though rather than having to click it that way you could make the lock on icons react better. It will still be confusing having delayed lock icons on rocks that dont exist
Well, The icons are just the the same as the module icon. The work was to separate those 2 in the code so this was possible. Maybe at some point we can have new icons for the modules, but now now Smile

Some nice stuff here.

Regarding the tackle icons... currently when this happens there's a notification that says "Warp Scramble Attempt", regardless if it's a scrambler or a disruptor. Is this being changed?
No that is not being changed now (as far as I am aware), but it's something that we might want to look into in connection with this (I don't even know if Game Design would like to you know which on it is).

One question I have is regarding overheating. Is how that is displayed going to be different? or is it more evident with the changes to the reload / repair timers?
No, didn't touch that.

Any chance you could give us the "center camera" checkbox in the d-scan window back in Kronos ? I really miss that checkbox. Shocked
I'm afraid not What?

Not sure if I understand since this is Damage Control I... but no, the only thing there is 3 neat lines rather than 12 lines.

Could you PLEASE take another serious look at the tooltips and bracket selection in space? What we have now is a total mess.

could you also please add drone control range to the attributes tab??

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Great changes, especially the module countdowns and tackle icon colour changes. And thanks for the protip - I did not know you could Ctrl-click to target. Very useful!

The Jump Clone locations in the Character Sheet have been given a proper right-click menu, allowing you to set the autopilot destination from there

Interdiction sphere launchers and probe launchers might be alongside bomb launchers having both charge cycle time and reload time.

Your current reload bar could show everything if it took both timers as input and always represented the active timer with the most time remaining.

Ok this is fun! I'm gonna suggest more stuff!

I am sitting in Null and a neut enters local. Can you add an option to flash the player list box in the chat box every time someone enters or exits the list. That way I can Rat and enjoy the pretty explosions without having to directly look at the box every few seconds.


When you do a CRTL A in the local chat room list, you can see new players enter, since they wont be selected.

A numerical timer for them in the mouse over (similar to the flag timers) is not possible? But happy to see it on your radar. Big smile

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Suggestion

For the warp scrambler/disruption icon. Would it be possible for one of the modules (either works) to be shown at the opposite angle of the other, possible even in the inventory but very helpful in space. Especially for color blind people.

To explain a bit more. Right now when you look at the icons the modules are situated with one side of the module in the upper left hand corner and the other side more in the foreground in the lower right hand corner. Could you take either the disruptor or scrambler and make it start in the upper right hand corner and end more in the foreground of the lower left hand corner.

Should just be a mirror image of what is there currently. Would give expert PvPers more info just at a glance while also helping color blind people.

And I wonder if any other module or effect would benefit from a similar change.

You could have the cool down timer be like Pac-Man dying: It starts as a solid ring, then opens at the top, and shrinks on both sides.
