The fuel block sizes seem awfully big. A Bustard stuffed with cargo expanders, rigs, and GSCs could only carry about ten days of fuel back to our tower in w-space. When we don't get convenient exits to empire often it is going to be a pain, bordering on a significantly tedious chore of the type that I try to avoid in real life, to keep our tower stocked without making multiple trips and killing wormholes or getting ganked by flying predictable paths in the only ships in which we can carry enough blocks.

Maybe it isn't such an issue in k-space where freighters and suchlike are available, but w-space logistics looks to have taken a step backwards, despite the overall convenience of the blocks themselves.

You can harvest the PI in your wormhole and manufacture the fuel blocks at your POS. Then you only need to import the non-PI stuff.

Okay, I'm totally embracing the whole 'location' vision CCP have adopted. It makes sense to store locations, because that's what they are. I have your back on that, we're cool.

By the same token, it doesn't really make as much sense to 'save' or 'add' a location. And as 'location' won't be verbed, such as 'can you location that ladar site, Red 5', would it be possible to return to the menu option to 'bookmark location', whilst continuing to call the saved locations locations?

That way, we can bookmark locations in to our location folder so that we can return to the location later by way of a bookmark. I'm feeling the love here.

i could be wrong, but that probably involves doing PI. Next you'll be saying I can harvest my own gas and mine my own minerals. Madness!

So, I had this really, really good idea. So I came to this thread, and I saw it, already posted, by someone else, and I was disappointed that I wasn't the one to mention it, but happy because now it would be in the discussion. And then I read the rest of the thread and no one else seems to have noticed it at all.

Can we have bookmarks in the overview, please? This is in addition to the right click menu - and on each bookmark just give a little tick mark that says "show in overview" (I was originally thinking each bookmark folder, and that should be an option as well, but in a PvP situation you might want only one or two bookmarks visible at a time). Cause "show in overview" to effect the current overview settings so that overview settings could be set to only show a couple of bookmarks, then quickly be adjusted to another overview setting and back. For every new bookmark/location, give an extra tick mark "add to current overview setting", much like we have a couple of options when adding new contacts. Color code bookmarks by personal and corporation (personal white, corporation green). No right-clicking (unless you want to), very little extra clutter in overview during PvP (hopefully the fast use of bookmarks available in the overview would counter this, but my method would allow people to turn it off), fast, easy, intuitive movement to locations, the ability to get a visual sense of your bookmark location while looking at your ship... etc.

I can't really see anything wrong with this.

How about making a good anom buff ??
Now only really big ships get an extra profit, and seems low true-sec dint get anny love at all.

Newbs that are in 0.0 and happen to have no corp m8's around for a few hours cause there in (for example) the night shift. have to go back to belt ratting cause ccp trew in a 8-10 BS spawn where they used to able to hunt ??

More anom ballance Plox, this just doesnt make anny sence at all ty.
Annyone can just make a big spawn in de a DB, having **** loads of ships in one place isnt really a solution in my point of vieuw.

Thanks CCP, for improvements to the suicide ganking system. We can now buy a tornado for 20 million cheaper than the previously used typhoon. We can equip it with 1400mm artilleries, so we don't have to fly 20km's or more to our target anymore to set off our smartbombs. They don't even have a change to warp away anymore....

Why not let corporate bookmarks be in its own folder but let personal bookmarks go back to where they were before?

That way you could copy corp bookmarks into your personal dropdown if you want to, but if not, you can just run the risk of getting pointed before you can warp out....

Yes, this is madness. Import your ice products and make your own cubes in your own hole.

This may sound like magic, but you can do it!

Separately, really NOT liking the extra drop down menu for the in-system bookmarks when right clicking in-space.

An extra step added to make my ship go places is not user-friendly and this UI design change is not adding value to my game play.

tl;dr - Please stop increasing the level of effort to get stuff done in-game.


p.s. **** off EVE-O forum gremlins. Your attempt to eat my post has been foiled again.

p.p.s. CCP: when the **** are you going to fix your forums where content creators' posts get gobbled up because they waited too long to submit their form? This is the most asinine forum engine behavior that I have ever experienced. No other forum worth using exhibits this behavior. Oh wait. Did you lay off the personnel who implemented your new forum? Uh oh.
