EVE Information Portal

Then what do you have say for all the feedback that was given in the very thread YOU created while it was on SiSi, CCP Surge??? Most of the criticism so far was listed MANY times in that thread, how would reacting to that be a 'knee-jerk'? You've had the feedback for weeks now (close to a month)....

This whole thing smells of a very arrogant Dev team that is too prideful to take good constructive criticism. I called it the moment you guys stopped responding to the SiSi thread and said you would push this to TQ and never look back. Please prove me wrong.

back on topic:
Yep...icons are still just has hard to tell player ships from neutral NPC's....and there is still no clear progression of ship sizes...pretty much everything that you've already been told, but have buried your head in the sand because it doesn't fit within your idea of special and pretty.

Not if you drink too much and accidentally undock.

not at all. the new icons are not distinguishable, or in basic english, you cant tell what the fck they are. All you should need to do is to have a quick glance and know exactly which is which. With the new icons you cant because too many of them are too similar.

That's half of it. Turning NPC's upside down would do the rest.

Drones are x's
NPC are trigangles pointed down
Players are triangles pointed up.

That way you could keep or lose all the extra types and details, because it ceases to matter on the whole.

Please change the Planetary Interaction mechanics to pre-carnyx - specifically the fact that before I could just double-click an extractor and it will open the extraction window. Now I have to single-click the extractor, click the extract option and then the extraction window opens.

It's a small think, but when you make the bulk of your ISK through PI it does add a certain level of frustration and makes the process even more tedious than it already is.

After Watching a "Blob" run from system to system taking down the station services of our corp., and forcing us to either run around repairing the services or have none, Two STARK REALITIES were reached.

You have not created a scenario that will allow More and Smaller Corporations to enter Null.... You have not created a situation that will take systems from the "Big Corps" from lack of use. Sure there may be some culling, but over all, the Only thing that I see happening is that you have Perpetuated an Already Large Power Vacuum into a point of Frenzy. Essentially you have created the perfect storm for END GAME. Players will not and do not wish to be "Fire Men" all day. As in, having to be reactive constantly. And the largest Blob Wins.

With in a half hour of seeing this new new mechanic in action, I saw the bleak Death of EVE as we know it. You have created One item more important then all others in the game. The Entosis Link will be the One Item More Important then any others. In order to "Protect" the Entosis Process, You will need a BLOB. Once that realization is reached by eve players...... then it leaves One Scenario....... The Biggest Wins. I Blob your station effectively locking down the inhabitants, I send a smaller blob to begin the flip, and since the station won't be involved it is like poss bashing, without the lengthy process.

In the end, this is a trophy for the Biggest Corporations PERIOD.
The services go down....... While the blob fights...... the station flips.......Reds Enter station.........Buy the Market.........Even if the reds choose to leave..............The Biggest Corp Wins.......... POWER VACUUM COMPLETE.

You have to double click the extractor slower in order to get the extractor to come up. Click, pause, Click. Yes. It is annoying.

Why a change, to the speed, in which you double click something to make it come up was implemented is beyond me.

No **** the largest blob wins, that''s how it works and will always work, no amount of balancing or "direction" will change that.



I was unaware that it was possible to flip a station in a matter of hours.

The level of juvenile crap in this thread is unbelievable. EVE players on the OS X platform have (and had for years) serious issues like clients freezing or crashing, and here some brainiacs are "threatening" to unsubscribe because they don't like getting used to a modified set of icons? Go ahead, quit playing EVE if you like, and good riddance.

But make the NPC ships distinguishable by something other than colour. Colour AND something else fine, but not colour alone. Up/down arrows could work, I'd have to see it in-client to know.

In 99% of cases, I do not give a flying scotsman about NPCs. If the representation of NPCs in the space scene conflicts with the clear representation of player vessels, then the UI has been downgraded for my needs. I'll end up hiding them (as normal) and then swearing profusely on the 1% of occasions that I actually care that they exist.

From an aesthetic perspective, I'd prefer the space scene to be beautiful to look at and only ever obscured by pertinent information. So the more complex and messy you make the brackets the more likely I am to hide them just on taste grounds.

I'm now pretty much set on hiding the icons column in the overview, as it is now effectively useless to me and at 90% scaling it makes it look like my monitor is broken. Not something I wish to see ever.

So, I suppose on that basis, I'm not going to see these new icons anymore whatever CCP does. That's actually quite comforting for me right now, but it is probably a bad indication of the fitness of this product.
