EVE General Discussion

Papcut Type

Market / UI

Subject: Order Visibility.

Papercut
Minor annoyance of not seeing your own order highlighted when doing market views, this would be an extremly useful tool if it was available. For color blind mode slow pulsing color blue would do.

Future possible
Highlighted allaince and corp members so you dont have to cut throat each other.

In high sec, a grav exploration site should have unusual ore in it. Finding a large omber deposit is great if you live where the is no omber, but is fairly useless in Gallente space. There it should be a large kernite or pyroxene deposit. The same idea should be used in all of eve: A exploration site should contain ore that is not to be found in the local belts.

In the upcoming new search feature:

Add special color for stations that are already flagged as waypoints in the asset window.

In the autopilot optimization routine:

Add the ability to declare a static end point... Say for example you're at Jita and you buy 10 things at different stations in the Forge, then you want to go pick them up and end your journey back at Jita with the least jumps possible. Current optimization wont necessarily give you the least jumps since Jita will rarely be the last system in the optimized route like you want it to be.

Also,

Change autopilot optimization to account for travel time by currently active ship, rather than by # of jumps. For example, there may exist a route which takes 5 jumps but 3 of the systems in that route are 200 AUs across (from gate to gate). A freighter might take 18.5 minutes to do those 5 jumps (due to it's 0.75 AU/s warp speed), while a rigged transport ship would only take 3.5 minutes (at a good 15ish AU/s). Meanwhile, there's another route that involves 8 jumps but each system is only 20 AUs across. On this route, the freighter would take about 11.5 minutes while the transport ship would take more like 5 minutes. The math involved is fairly straight forward and should basically be a weighted (by gate to gate distance) Depth First Search instead of a naive one.

*edit, that should read "Breadth First Search"

Overview & Ship info.

To a new player the number of different types of ships is overwellming.

The overview is not helpful in this respect as it displays the 'racial type' rather than the base type.

i.e as well as stating 'Claw' it should also be able to display 'Interceptor' , and even 'Minmatar' to those that want to see this.

Perhaps rather than the text 'Minmatar' one column could apear in the racial color.

This one's a bit crazy, but kind of neat:

Infrastructure Upgrade: Police Rapid Response

This idea would give sovereignty holders a way to "secure" their system and encourage economic growth. High sec industrialists for example might take their business to null sec if they didn't have to rely on/trust other players to secure their freighters (full of billions and billions of isk worth of loot) from destruction on a daily basis. In my conception, the "Police" would be just like Concord as far as aggression mechanics, but the ships and guns would have to be stocked by the sovereignty holders. Thus, offenders/criminals could exhaust the supply of police units in the area. Also the number of available police and the skill level/difficulty/response-time of police units in a system would depend on the level of the infrastructure upgrade. In this way, effective police would have to be paid for by the economic improvements they allow.

Also, in the case of a sovereignty battle, sovereignty blockade units would disable police response. So that attackers would be able to a.) not have to fight a horde of NPC police in addition to the local player militia and .b) could actually commandeer the police force if their attack is successful. Of course, not bringing SBUs and simply destroying an enemy's police could be effective economic warfare.

When a bookmark is created have a stab at giving it a sensible default name.

It won't be precisely what everyone wants but it will be a start one can edit from.
e.g.
"BM {nearest fixed body} : {angle to the horizontal} - {distance away}"

bigger overheatbuttons or rightclicking a mod makes the overheat led go green

the time dilatation timer is visible in all systems affected, not only in the system where the fight is.
( it would cause less petitions since ppl know whats happening)

remove the stuttering when time dilatation kicks in: make it just all go slowmotion but fluently

a "keep on primary" option for drones: if you start shooting a new target, your drones do too , if that option is checked.

an icon / button to get your drones in space to engage, comparable to the gun-icons ,

an auto-targeting mod that locks all hostiles/neuts, not only those agressing you

visible missile-launchers, and missile hardpoints

make it visible when you outrun a missile (completely or partly ): the missile explodes not on your ship but near it.

the option to set your overheat for only one cycle

the option to group, ewar, neuts, web, ...

an option to set the keyboard to "mod-control" so we can use azertyui for the highs, qsdfghjk for the mids and wxcvbn,; for the lows
( instead of using f1-f8 and ctrl-alt-f1-8)

an option to disable ctrl as lock button

give the web drones better speed ( maybe slower turn-speed if you think it would be overpowered)


use the trails to make web-effects visible ( stuttering line instead of a full one or more yellow like it doesnt burn as efficient)


make the sensor-boost effect a little more quiet or litlle less annoying of sound

maybe make the web effect not white but a different colour ( red?) we have lots of effects that are white

see gangmembers cap-level in watchlist

see if gangmembers are being webbed/ ewarred, pointed or jammed in the watchlist

allow logi's to add more then ten pilots on watchlist.

A simple input to specify fixed-window size instead of having to use registry hacks or tools to add custom (and otherwise unusable/unneeded) resolutions.

Two little things, that I'd like to have improved:

1) Can we have a search field like the one in the star systems map, but right in the front UI? It could be placed right below the system information in the upper left corner. The search field should enable looking up systems and stations, and allow for a quick programming of the route. I'm tired of having to open the systems map in order to program a destination.

2) Overview: Would it be possible to get a more graphical display of the angular velocity or transversal speed in relation to the ship's capabilities? E.g. the displayed values could be colored according to how close they are to the optimal. If they are within the ships's tracking capabilities, the numbers are colored in green. If they exceed the capabilities, they get colored in a more orange tone. If they are far beyond the tracking capabilities, they are shown in a red color.

Something like that.

Now there is a situation that high in all sectors of the NPC stations, all the lines to copy and study efficiency (ME) are occupied, and the closest release date through 20 days.
Need to raise performance to the level of drawing ME 100-150 has no good use, but apparently the game got a lot of producers or nubo many speculators who deliberately slaughtered all the free line to sell his drawing with the ME 150 through contracts.
It would be desirable as it solve the problem of huge backlog of research productivity.
Maybe the problem can be solved by raising the cost of leased lines to study the efficiency of production in times of 10-100.
