Player Features and Ideas Discussion

- Some more hairstyles, particularly for men.
- Some new clothes, military style would be great (the Sterling shirts are a good example)
Keepin' it simple

You can session change by leaving / boarding your ship.

Gameplay: Option to cancel a target lock in progress. If you start locking a target (say a beacon) by accident having a key option to cancel the lock would be awesome as some events span 90 seconds+

Suggestion: Add tech level and faction sorting to all blueprints
Keywords: blueprints industry sorting UI

Add sortable attributes to blueprints and blueprint copies. Sorting them via filters is tedious and only modules can be filtered using "II Blueprint" filter. T2 and T3 ships can be sorted this way, why not blueprints?

Currently nothing. If the target is still locking I haven't been able to cancel the action, It can only be unlocked once the action happens.

Changing velocity of your ship using keybindings is way to slow to be any good to the game. Either the feature should be removed, or you could improve it.

Set each velocity change to a fixed 25% of max velocity, for each click.

like 25% - 50% - 75% - 100%, for each time you press the keybinding.


The way it is now you have to press and hold the keybinding for like 30 secs to get from 0% - 100%, even in a frigate...

Suggestion: Keybindings need some work

Keywords: Keybindings, Improve gameplay

Note: Keybindings like TAB and thumb buttons on mouse fx. TAB is narrowed down to only Tab Between Edit Fields, which is the general keybinding for exactly THAT in everything computer. Other games do however succeed in binding it to other stuff, while still maintaining the general function.

Also if i assign the thumb buttons to something game related, i cant use it in the ingame browser for forward and back.

Make the keybindings work so while browsing through the different windows - they will have the general keybinding function. But once you click in space, they can be assigned to something else, like tabbing between targets, set full speed and stop ship with thumb buttons or w/e.

Been playing for a long time now and there is still one thing i wish that would be added to the game since the radial menu was added.

the delay option was great but sometimes it seems to flake out and brings up the radial menu right away as it it is set for long delay. This does get a little annoying at times but I also understand that many people are able to use it with great ease

I wondering if it is possible to add an option to turn off the radial menu.

Suggestion: Add a setting to change the date format
Keywords: Date format
Note: To me yyyy/mm/dd is just very odd and sure other are use to it other way in there home countries

How about letting us drag corp names from the standings section of the character sheet into chat windows to create a link to that corp.

When you talk to a locator agent, and the box pops up to enter a character name, it locks out all other activity, like the save location dialogue used to. How about changing that? Also, the messages received from locator agents would be great if the system or station names were links.

The ship restrictions pop-up for missions does the same thing. It'd be nice if this one didn't grey out the screen and lock out other activity, either.

How about adding more types of standings settings, possibly not even linked to the -10 to +10 system, so we can add different colortags to different types of potential targets, I mean different groups of players.

We could use a way to adjust the number of times a medal was awarded. I may have mentioned this before, not sure. Say you are accidentally awarded a medal twice. If you delete them, then re-award it, it'll show up as being awarded to you 3 times, even though the first two were deleted.

Add repair services to all stations. It's sort of unthinkable that minor repairs wouldn't be available in any major station.

Multiple jump clones in a station!

Let all the old channel change messages persist in the local window. Then we can look back and see a chronological history of not only what was said in local chat, but where it was said.

Make it easier to lock down and unlock a large number of blueprints at one time.

Separate the roles for anchoring things in space and configuring containers in a corp hangar.

The default widths of different overview columns could use some looking at. Anyone who's played long will have them adjusted, but a new player turning on the corp and alliance columns, for example, is going to be surprised how much screen real estate he's giving up for a 5 letter ticker.

Add the ability to pin a target or targets to the top of the overview. (Separate and different from fleet broadcast moving them to the top.)

The default arrangement of overview states lets a fellow alliance member appear red if he has low sec status. That's needed fixing for a long time. Sure, it can be sorted manually, but there are some real dumb meatheads out there. I don't think anyone will disagree with that.

Tone down the bright glowing gas clouds in missions. The pale blandness of "UI Modernization" makes that even more desireable.

For the character creator, how about adding a straight ahead pose to the screen where we take the photo. You know, just like the one on the screen where we tweak settings and create the character. It could have similar default lighting, too, for people who want to just take the snap when they get to that screen, instead of playing around for 20 minutes trying to get back the look they had on the previous screen.

Make separate market groups for large, medium and small mwd's. For ab's, too.

Why not have rigs in the market grouped by size first, then type. If I'm buying rigs for a fit, they're all obviously going to be the same size, and that'll save some clicking.

For overview settings regarding npc's, add the missing ones to the list in overview settings (Sleepers), and separate out some of the types for more granularity. (I'm borrowing your words now. It's a nice word.) For example, if I want to see Mordu's ships in those crazy data sites or whatever they are (I went there to kill someone, not to run the site), I have to have Faction Navy NPC's turned on, which means I have to see more overview clutter at stargates and stations.

Focus is never really completely in a window. I posted in another thread about the possibility of toggling scan filters on and off while typing numbers into a bookmark name. Also, if you're typing a note or motd or something while in space and try to use ctrl+b to bold some text iti'll pop up a 'save location' dialogue instead.
