So I just notice the IGB header for ship name only updates when you change ships. Is this new behavior?

When changing ship name in space the IGB header isn't updated, even changing systems or docking. Even changing the name in a station doesn't update the IGB header.

CCP FoxFour - can you comment on this one? I am not expecting a fix for IGB but it is probably something to keep in mind for creating CREST replacement for IGB Headers.

Yea, the IGB header wont be fixed but it's already not an issue in CREST. Even tested to make sure. :)

They are working on a CREST end-point that gives up-to-date in-game location info we typically can only get from the IGB headers. :)

hmm ok, wouldn't that be a rate limit issue if we query every 4 seconds for 1000 users? when is it likely to happen? how long will igb stay? am i busted without sso implementation? so many questions =)

My suggestion would be have a client side application for uploading location information, rather than having the server query it.

Woo! CSM XI!

ofc but thought rate limits would be per app but that would not work well. sometimes i type faster than i think which does not work well aswell.

This is one of the problems I have for removal of the IGB, its a useful in-game tool even if just for things like evehq buy orders or looking at someones skills without alt-tabbing and a godsend to lots of us without second monitors. Even if we don't update the header information I would hope to see some sort of IGB just to look stuff up without removing us from the game.
