Please redirect these skills so they make more sense:

Armor Upgrades will now be: grants a 5% bonus to armor hit points per skill level

Shield Management <--> Shield Upgrades

Shield Upgrades will now be: grants a 5% bonus to shield capacity per skill level.
Shield Management will now be: grants a 5% reduction in shield module powergrid needs.

I have to say, I hate seeing the CSM as a middle-man, here. That's a good way to lose some wonderful suggestions that don't happen to agree with their agenda, or that they feel will be a "waste of developer time that could be better used elsewhere." (Things they don't deem to be important.) Of course, the majority of CSM members are probably in no way qualified to make that judgement, but that unfortunately won't stop some of them from doing it, as history shows.

Also, any time you have a middleman relaying someone else's communication, it is going to be changed. Usually unintentionally. That's just how it works. And that's why having these threads where we can communicate directly with the devs is so damned awesome! It eliminates that problem entirely, so there actually is communication, not just the apparency of it.

Keep the CSM in the csm sections of the forum, and leave these threads between the players and developers! That's my two cents.

- Suggestion: To be able to share notes from the notepad with your characters on the same account.

- Notes: This would allow the easy sharing of information/notes between characters, especially when in Industry you may have more than one character building components for a large project. The information on how much of each thing or indeed any notes could be shared between 1 or 2 other same account characters for easy access of information.

I have two suggestions.

In the skill qeue window, how about adding "remove" to the right click menu of skills listed in the left side of the window, where all injected skills are listed by category. Clicking on the actual qeue on the right side to remove skills is ok, but now that the list can go up to 50 skills it can sometimes take some reading to find the skill you're looking for. The left side shows how many levels of a skill are qeued up, but doesn't allow for removing them from the qeue directly from that side, which would be a lot easier in some cases, or at least a lot quicker.

When creating multiple bookmarks with the same name in the same system, how about having a feature similar to the way filenames work in newer versions of windows. If I make a bookmark called "spot in Jita solar system", and a bookmark of this name already exists in my people and places for the system I'm in (most likely Jita ), the client would name it "spot in Jita solar system (2)", and the next one would be named "spot in Jita solar system (3)", etc (without my having to manually type in the (2) and (3)).

Ok...three suggestions. How about a way to turn off any and all forms of auto-approach. I generally never want my ship to start approaching something when I click or double click on it. This gets really tiresome when boxing and clicking to switch focus between multiple clients and a web browser, for example.

I would like the watch list to be modified

Can we have an option where pilots in pods are not shown in the watch list or maybe greyed out or change colour?

Just some way of distinguishing that they are no longer in a ship

Suggestion: dont open new inventory screen when dragging ship / container node
Keywords: UI, inventory, containers


When I drag a shipnode from the inventory tree outside the border suddenly and magically a new inventory screen popups. I cant recall a situation where this was the intended act. Rather add some other context sensitive and usefull action to the drag motion.
For example : drag ship from inventory to chat : post link with fit
Drag ship/container to other inventory screen : try and move the ship from one container to the next.
Drag to fitting window open in fitting window
Drag to market.add fit to market quickbar
...

Regional Market window

The Quickbar has a maximum width.

Some items names are wider that it and part of the name and/or the aditional text is lost.

It's important to know that the intended recipients of the suggestions are still checking on them from time to time. I know it takes time away from development, but like the spouse might hint, some attention is good even if you're busy/you told them you love them just last year/you remembered their birthday 6 months ago/etc.


(And yep, I'm still big on the additional station backgrounds and new high, low and null sec worlds)

Suggestion: Having mobile warp disruptors become unanchored through the hacking minigame. Clean up space clutter and create gameplay with one single change.

Keyword: hacking, bubbles, minigame

Suggestion: Make fleet- and wing-boosters work no matter in what order they join the fleet
Keywords: combat, pvp, fleets, boosting ships
Note: As it is now, fleet and wing-boosting ships has to join fleets in a certain order, and it also ties in squad commanders and how/when they are assigned, to make boosting ships work. This makes forming of fleets take much longer than necessary. When entosis-sov hits the servers, it will be VERY important to have the capability to quickly form response-fleets. The UI and client functions should help and aid the FC in this, not put up unneccessary obstacles. This bug has been around for "ever", so pls have a look at it for the "little things" before Entosis-sov is released!
