With Phoebe, to be released on November 4th, we not only bring large changes (such as the way how you travel with capital ships), we also have an exciting list of Little Things that will improve the daily life in EVE.

To name just a few of those:
  • An improved asset search that will search through containers
  • A new state for the overview window that will "Always show" entities regardless if the other states would have filtered out this entitiy
  • Separate windows for the directional and probe scanners
  • The ability to name jump clones

Read CCP karkur's latest blog U and I - Together we continue our little improvements to learn more those Little Things coming to New Eden with Phoebe!

After reading this dev blog, I think it's is high time that I offer to have your babies, totally ignoring the fact that I'm really a guy.

The overview changes are AWESOME. Thanks!

PS: Can we also get the ability to place fitted ships in a corp hangar into a audit capable container? :P

Wait wait wait.

So now I can D-scan using a different overview profile than my active one, rather than just no filters at all? That is truly awesome!

Awesome, especially the 'Always Show' feature Big smile

Separation of dscan and probe scan is also nice. While you are at it, could you also separate 'Contacts' from 'Places'? I often want to have contacts open to watch if any of the guys whose floating ships I earlier found in a POS have since come online, so I can pay them a visit and see how they are doing. On other times though, I need to look at places to check my bookmarks. But the optimal window size is very different for both of these use cases: The contacts I want to have in a high, slim window, while the places are best viewed in a broad, not-so-high window. So I have to constantly resize the peoples&places window. Very annoying.

Good stuff as these little things blogs always are

Any chance of a 'loot all' button on our MTUs like there is on wrecks/cans?

If you look closely (or not so closely), you can actually already find that on TQ Smile

Can you make it so the names of the jump clones are persistent? Every time I jump into a clone its saved name is wiped and it's frustrating having to re-name the clone every time I jump out of it again....

Other than that, awesome job all round!!

The "The Rest" section of CCP karkur's devblog are actually things that have already been deployed to TQ in earlier releases (note, not "an earlier release" but rather "earlier releases"), they have just not been mentioned in devblogs before.

In fact you have to read

for all the goodies.

Nice new additions and changes, but

would it be possible to remove some very annoying things in the UI like the buggy standing display in local and station? Or the randomly closing windows of the customs offices while importing and exporting goods?

On the contrary, she's making you all look good.

Quality of life changes are huge - you guys should stop pushing them off to the side due to priority or time constraints or whatever other reason gets thrown out for tedious and clunky interfaces.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Been thinking along these lines for awhile now... Thanks for the change

One other 'little thing' I'd like to see is a separate area in the hangar for mods I just pulled off a ship (say "hangar floor")

I dock, pull off a few mods, switch ships, have to search the whole hangar for those mods (because I'm not space rich and have lots of spares) re-mount then proceed...

The idea would be that recently un-mounted mods would stay in a separate window until I un-dock or clear the window, would be really helpful in some situations where I want the same mods, but on a different ship.

Or you could do what she does and do a QOL item.

Can probably start with the siphon unit detection issue.

Yaay!!!!
