Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You should have seen the Brain in the Box presentation @ fanfest, then you would not write this, haha... when its released, restate your request.

Oh? They are fixing it you mean? Have a pointer to that presentationm if there is any?

Suggestion:

In the Corporation recruitment tool, can you add a requirement for a corp to select a "prime time" or most active hour.
And let that be a searchable criteria.

To help when searching for a corp when you play in odd hours / AU TZ / want to know when a corp believes it will be most active.
As most corps list their timezones as 24 hours, its a mute point.

This could also lead into / be a feature when alliances choose their 4 hour window in fozziesoz.

Could you re-arrange the add contact dialog? https://imgur.com/oVMdsd9 There's probably a better layout than what I have there; "send notification" is still pretty close to the accept button.

A recent stupid loss that I had could've been avoided with a little at a glance UI improvement.

So I'm in Wspace and the call goes out to quick roll a wormhole chain that has hostiles in it. We were all for PVP, but at that point was set for some Sleeper PVE and ISK making (got to pay the bills ya know). I jumped into a communal rolling battleship with two other pilots and look at both my module overlay and a brief look at my fitting screen to confirm mass readings, and see this in my midslots.

Cap booster or Shield?

and Cap booster or shield?

Hmmm, cap boosters are vital part of keeping some BSs functioning and I see my lowslots filled with armor for increased mass and warp off to the hole...

In the end, due to a goof by our scout, I got jumped by a hostile gang, bubbled on the hole and scrammed. In those seconds, nowhere did it occur to me to use those Cap boosters... my cap was fine... I used my highslot neuts and deployed ecm drones... but there were too many locks on me, and the neuts were unbonused...

Only to realize on the lossmail that those were X-Large ancillary shield boosters, that would've let me hang on long enough for my back up to arrive. (My head did not compute a dual-tank wormhole rolling Apoc it seems)

Why does the entire Battery icon override the Shield Booster Icon when its loaded in both fitting and ship UI? Keep the Shield Booster Icon plainly in your face visible on the UI and Fitting screen and the 4 battery slots the same on the right side of the icon are good enough to indicate the current module battery load status.

If someone had tooltips disabled, they wouldn't even see it with a mouseover, they'd need to show info.

So please, CCP Karkur, adjust the ancillary modules UI.

Suggestion: Add Faction, Tech 2, and Tech 3 tags to ship portraits in the combat log

Keywords: UI

Note: It would be nice to have the same tags for the combat log that ships have on the market, as it would make searching for a certain killmail easier than reading the small text. I.E I am looking for an Ishtar killmail but it is difficult to differentiate it's portrait from the Vexor's.

alongside some mass add character too contacts/watchlist would be nice

Suggestion:

I tried searching this but had no luck, so apologies if this has already been suggested.


The ability to use plastic wrap (or something similar) to create packages with unique names. The contents of each package would have a volume that is equal to the total sum of its contents. The package can be given a unique name. The package is a single item, and has to be"unpacked" like the current plastic wrap to retrieve the contents.


- Already an existing mechanic in the game (See courier contracts)
- We all have a **** ton of plastic wrap in our hangers


Example Use case.

Player A, B, C ask me to pick up some things from jita and each give me a list. I buy Player A's things, and plastic wrap them and call it "Player A", I do the same for Player B and C. End result, I have 3 items or packages which I can move to our staging and contract to each of them with ease.


Currently, to accomplish this under current mechanics - we have to use an alt to fail a courier contract (so that our stuff is plastic wrapped) to keep things separate when doing bulk jita trips.

1. Not sure if it has already been suggested however, I would like to see a feature where the Yellow Box turns into a Green Box when it's a ship that is positively affecting yours (Ie repping, capping). Purple if it's boosting (Remote sebo's, etc)

2. Give dreadnoughts the ability to set a number to their siege modules of how many cycles it will run. Like a 'Set Cycles' tab when right clicking the module. Same with a triage module.

agreed, but not just those. all modules that have charges loaded should have their original icon displayed along with the icon of the charges. this will be difficult and I don't know if or how, but in some very specific scenarios it is inconvenient to tell what that module is when it has charges loaded.
