Could you also consider increasing the distance from which you can look at a ship/object?


This is not something we have planned at the moment, we are doing this due to the massive size Citadels will be.

Some team, in the future, might decide to do this.

FOR GOD'S SAKE FINALLY....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've only been saying "remove grids" for 8 FREAKING YEARS. And this is the first step since the beginning of the game in 2003 towards making grid-less space....

Good lord... maybe we're gonna finally have a decent game.

The UI update we deserve

There are some potential areas that could stop this from happening in the next release, but we are going to work hard at getting round them so we can give you MASSIVE SPACE! Shocked

I like the grid sizes and the new view point of the ships so you can see the scale of ships much better…
BUT… When you zoom out and it goes from a close view to the tactical view the camera is no longer anchored to your ship which is dumb.. It should stay anchored to the ship till you manually right click and drag the camera about so you can quickly zoom out to look at something and then zoom back in and its still looking at your ship.

You should post this feedback over in the camera thread as it is not related to grids.

But thank you for posting. P

This is something we would love to know if you have examples of. It is something we are checking, but with the amount of systems and moons in EVE, we might miss it. Ugh

I'm curious what the performance and network load implications will be, since the client has to deal with potential by factors increased amount of stuff in the overview and on screen. Maybe you should introduce those super grids first for citadels only...

We are not super concerned, we will be performance and mass testing to determine if there are any, but off the tops of our heads we think it should be ok.

We need to introduce them before Citadels so we can iron out any potential issues before we actually have things that rely on them. Testing so far is looking pretty good, aside from the known issue, which I will actually add to the thread in a better format.

Hopefully I do my job properly and we break them in new and exciting ways before we hit TQ. Ugh

One can't say that you guys don't have any humor. If a few years of interwebz taught me anything the crowd will break a product faster, more complete and in the most ridiculous way possible that the poor provider could never think of.

So yeah ... good luck with that.

I note that while Querns has pointed out a problem it's not as bad as this makes it look. Because grids cannot merge and cannot overlap, only two of these will have two moons on one grid. All others will have a gridwall between the two moons - either roughly equidistant, or 7800 km from the first one to establish its grid. This could cause issues with the moons close to 7800km apart, but it won't be that there's two moons on one grid.

Great work... any chance now that the grid is bigger we can get more then 250km max target range?

There are so many ships and setups that can in theory target past that but we are cutt of for some silly reason

Are you going to fix some of the NPC's? It has been a while, but I remember coming across some NPCs on stargate gates that didn't seem to have a lock or weapons range limit (ie was being damped, jammed, and shot from ~500km away)

Cool change, big grids are awesome.

Have you made sure that it's not possible for sleeper sites (combat anomalies, data/relic sites) to spawn on the same grid as each other?

It would suck to want to do capital escalations and have two sites on the same grid, forcing you to escalate both of them at the same time and either not do the second site, or do a single wave in site 1, then a wave in site 2, etc.

Idea:
-Signature radius and sensor strength affect distance that a ship will show on grid. Gives your ship a "footprint" similar to how probe-able you are currently.
-All ships show on grid under 250km regardless of stats.
-Combat recons get a role bonus where they are not visible on grid above the base 250km, and keep their d-scan immunity.

Example:
-Jump in to system in a cruiser, see a carrier 2 AU away on your grid, as well as several towers, and that's it.
-260 km from you, a Crow can see you, but you can't see him. Your footprint is bigger than his, and his is small enough that he doesn't show past 255km.

Edit - More ideas:
Low-profile bubble. Requires a higher anchoring skill, but doesn't show on grid outside of 250km.

Note: all items mentioned here would still show on d-scan, just not on overview.

any planned changes for bubbles re: how far they pull from?

currently any bubble on your destination grid on your vector pulls you to the closest bubble, obviously with much bigger grids the potential distance pulled can be much bigger

admittedly you could make bubbles very far on grid already, but it involved a lot of grid manipulation and would not persist through downtime

also wondering about the ESS, as currently you need to extend a grid 3001km from a station/stargate to place it on grid - which results in a very powerful bubble as it warns you in local when something lands in it
if grids are much bigger can we expect them to be modified too?


also abou the moon thing, i've had poses on the same grid as station undocks before (until downtime), it's not a big deal load wise and its kinda cool to see
the only issue is you can gun up to infinite range with the tower (unless this changed with brain in a box) so you can make sentry guns do strange things
