No EFT/PYFA ?!

The in game fitting tools are literally a joke.. Be serious now.

What about an overlay that makes a sound anytime a neutral shows up in local ? Doesn't actually affect or interact with the game client; just a program that searches the pixels on the screen for a specific image and makes a sound if image is found ?

I don't think I've launched EFT in over three years. I tried PyFA once, but didn't like it.

For my current ship, I just bought modules and fit them, and when they didn't fit I bought the cheapest faction and deadspace modules that did fit, and resold the ones that didn't fit.

Of course, those tools use API and the SDE supplied by CCP, so I am personally not concerned about them. I also use EVEmon (with cache scraping disabled) and Aura, as well as DOTLAN.

No way. It would be one account with an increased character limit.

Same revenue, less server load, what's not to like.

if players were forced to one client and not be at a disadvantage to multiboxers, you could start making EVE a HMD game.

I like to take responsibility for creative dev blog graphs.

First there was CCP Punkturis, whom seems to have since educated other devs:

Among her finest achievements, was "Hello Graph" (at bottom):

Look very closely for the watermark.

And then there was CCP Masterplan, the overachiever.

i pay $50/year for isboxxer, it's not a lot of money in my opinion. certainly not inaccessible. contrary to some of the alliance tools which aren't accessible to the majority of the player base.

I don't know what CCP is thinking, when they have people being doxxed and third party apps like tripwire being backdoored to give access to all of the scanned sigs in the universe, but noooooo. lets target window management which is totally accessible, fair, and needed by everyone.

Well, instead of this "no modifying this EVE client that we have no interest in improving" business, they could get with the times and:

- create an interface for the client to provide restricted information and basic window controls to plug-ins
- have a system for the certification / approval of 3rd party plug-ins, so people can create in-game tools
- monetize the access to client plug-ins (it's like fitting a ship, CCP: pay to unlock 5 slots for alliance plugins, 4 slots for corp plugins, 6 slots for general/public plugins, etc.).

I think this belongs in the "horrible ideas" thread, but oh well... "horrible dev blog" thread close enough.

Not wishing to reopen the taps on the ISBOXER flame thrower again but this post is the first I have seen in the whole of the EULA debate that encapsulates the issue for players,, That of User experience, That ethereal experience obtained while playing such on line games as Eve.

The truth here is that the EULA is no longer fit for the purpose it was written for in many major areas, as such CCP has always disguised this by telling the players, 'Everything you need to know is in the terms of the EULA', and replying to question regarding it obvious grey areas by players in a manner such as 'Oh you don't understand the EULA, that is OK we will interpret it for you, your obviously not intelligent enough to get were we are coming from'. while at the same time mashing the ban button daily.

What I have never understood in the ISBOXER and many other utilities debate is why CCP is so shocked to find that people who play an innovative game like Eve are themselves not going to be innovative in the way they play it. ISBOXER itself showed players however many 'Seperate' screens as they chose to operate, the trough of subscriptions which at one time CCP was happy to snuffle in without question for years, But it was only when they realised that players flying ships other than mining vessels were gaining a unfair advantage like that of bomber fleets in the area of player interaction did they suddenly jump up and ban the thing outright, But even there they were shifty about what was said and never really clarified it outright, Now who's not playing fair CCP.

With the current debate regarding P2W in game raging on in other threads it does beg the question as to why, given the desire of players to use these innovative products coupled with CCP desire to make Eve produce better profits margins, CCP do not embrace the ideas and code there own versions of ISBOXER that could be rented by players on a monthly basis, That way they themselves could control the coding as to how they worked and what ships they could be used upon, Banning players that use multiple screens, One monitor or not really is not going to make this debate ever go away in my view.

CCP needs to be as innovative as the players that sub Eve, You built it as a sandbox don't complain when players take your own hype and use it to the best of there ability.
