...different orbit distances are now bound to a particular ship! So, for example, you have an Enyo and you set the orbit button to blaster range (~2000m or so) and then you suddenly decide to jump into a Tengu or w/e, and set the orbit distance for missile spamming goodness (~50km) - if you jump back into the Enyo the distance will be 2000m, not 50km.

(Unless of course this has been here all along and I've never really noticed it, in which case I am stoopid and you may make gentle fun of me and my moustache!)


Good job CCP!

It's new :) One of those little things they snuck in to fix little annoyances. It's in the patch notes.

I too love this. Leads to me not getting blown up because I set my orbit distance to 2500 for my pulse frigate, then went on a bomber roam in lowsec for some nice BS rats.

I have not noticed this, but it's a fantastic idea.

CCP! Keep adding little things like this so I get pleasantly surprised!

I've never found myself really using this as I always Orbit at 7500m even if it's the same ship.

+1


Being pleasantly surprised is always good! Losing your boot.ini less so!

More of the former, less of the latter!

great, but it would be nice if it followed the ship, not the ship class

i have auto sleips setup for 20km engagement range, and arty ones setup for 60km engagement range.. so i still end up having to change it all the time

My personal favorite is the fix for the various cargo windows to a ship staying open when you dock/undock.

e.g. the Orca's ore hold and corporate hangar stays open now. That was really annoying.

Also, UI scaling. I use 3 monitors, 3 clients. My eyesight is repairing some of it's damage now.

+2

having two Hawks and two Harpys one for close range, one for longer range and you still have to keep changing your orbit radius all the time, which can lead to unwelcomed surprises if you dont pay attention.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!
