It's just voice chat, should maybe have made that clearer in the picture Smile

Only CCP is blue in chat, sorry Blink


Hah, yes, I fail at reading! I see it says voice chat icons now.

Shame about the blue being only for CCP, but thank you for your prompt reply Big smile

I almost cried with joy when I saw the change made to the watchlist..

You have made every logi pilot's "Bestest Devs Evar!" list.

These are some great changes and they really make me happy, keep up the good work!

Couple things though:

Question: How can someone be blocked but neither online or offline?


Also, since your making changes that affect the local view, I'm just going to go out and say what I think many would really like that would be most helpful in local, counts of how many pilots of each standing type.

Even with the compact view, if you are in a fleet of 100 and you jump into a system with 175 reds you have to do some scrolling and tallying to figure out even whether you might want to run or fight. But this is precious time you might not have and it would be really helpful to know that immediately.

You will obviously never see the offline icon in chat but you will see it in your contacts list.


Since when?

I do have offline Chat Icons a lot... sometimes I had it even as the Char was online...

When you add someone to your contacts, you can select to add them to your watchlist (which then makes the notifiaction pop up when that person logs in or logs out). If you don't do that, and block him, you can't see if he's online/offline but you can see with the white icon that he's blocked.

But SOMEBODY has to have the role of counting those people in a fleet right?? Blink

Just three words.
You. Are. Awesome.
It's nice to see that such small things bring so much joy. More than some really big things. I mean, REALLY big. Big, like, Tech 2 Supercapitals... or Ubercapitals (1000% the size of a Titan)... The things that make you say "Hey, wait! What's this junkyard that is occluding my outpost? Why can't i zoom out farther& Oh... Right... Matar Deathstar... Someone bring a salvager, please?" and then "Well, at least i can see my local".

Nobody wants to be that guy though. If you're against showing the exact numbers, how about the ability to sort the list by standings and the ability to choose what gets shown on the top. I know you'll hear endless complaints about local, but if local is the issue then fix local. Don't hold back UI development and usability improvements because of it.

1. All good stuff. Both the watchlist and the overheating changes will improve my logi-your-butt-back-from-on-fire experience.

2. With regard to the shift-click to overheat, will it work on the icons that indicate that you have an active module on a given target? For example, could I shift-click the RR module icon next to a target portrait to overheat that repper, or do I have to shift-click the button? I'm assuming the latter, but the former would also be really nice for a future iteration :D

Shift click overload is my favorite feature of this patch. After playing on SiSi for a bit I constantly find myself trying to shift click overload on Tranquility.

PS: any chance to make the "overload queued" effect more visible? A more intense green and faster fading in and out maybe?

Looking good guys.

Would it be possible allow us to share the blocked pilots from when you right click > block people? I am thinking being able to export/import these between corp members for 'ignore Jita scammers' list :-)

xml export like the overview would be fine

Keep up the good work :-)
