In the 'selected Item' window of the game client, would it be so hard that when you pushed the 'Approach' button a 'ETA:0m42s' would show up in the namebar of that window? Obviously if you are chasing somebody and they are going faster then it would be a red negative number, if you were not moving relative to the target then it would be a grey 0, and if you were accelerating towards the target then it would be a green positive number. Perhaps this has been suggested before, as it seems such an obvious and useful function that should not be that hard to implement.

This would have been better in the little things topic but hey +1 anyway.

Just remember unless it really impacts gameplay or is more than just a convenience it needs to be in the little things topic. It stands a VERY good chance of being seen there anyway.

So, you're too lazy to do math, that's what you're saying? This is seriously basic math; remember those "If a train leaves the station heading north at x MPH and another train is heading south from another station on the same track at y MPH, how far along the track will they crash and explode?" homework questions?

It shouldn't be that hard to get a rough estimate of how long stuff will take to approach in your head without CCP needing to add more clutter and unneeded features to the game. You might not have an exact number, but it's plenty close for everything I've ever done.
