All in all welcome changes IMO. I would add or change a couple of things though.

The skill queue similar lists (charactter sheet) could really use a 'collapse all categories/expand all categories' button. That way it's a bit quicker and simpler to find something almost halfway down the list if you know which category it is in.

I would also rename the 'online' and 'offline' labels because I think they're confusing. Changing 'offline' to 'AFK' is probably the quickest and easiest change to do.

what labels? they're only icons

plus afk isn't really appropriate because you're offline when you're not connected to the server..
in my mind, afk means that you're logged in, but not paying attention..

I've noticed some people in here think Team BFF just recently started working on little things. I just want to point out that we have been doing so for a year now but I guess it somehow got lost in "bigger news" last year.

Here are dev blogs from CCP Soundwave from last year that I think you may enjoy reading (if you haven't already)

Ah. I confused those icons with an AFK indicator, which is also something People Have Been Asking For.

Compact member list in chat

When you‘re out and about shooting other pilots in the face, the most important part of information in local (other than the smack talk) is the standings icon. So we added an option to see a compact member list. In the compact list, there‘s no portrait but instead the standings icon is at the beginning and it‘s about one third of the height of the detailed list, so you can see way more pilots in the list. Since we‘re sure you still want to look at the nice portraits of your friends in some of the chat channels, the setting is per channel. You can access it via right clicking on the tab.]

I'm a "local is an omniscient intel tool" hater and I'm not sure what to think about this change! New CCP stance on this issue? Hope not!

On the whole some quite significant QOL improvements I feel.
I think the chat change is my favourite, closely followed by overheat (though I'm almost certain I've it set to go on right clicking the module What?

). It'll certainly be nice to get access to more of my screen without losing the vital information from chat.

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.

This or the sorting works for me, part of me feels it'd be nice to even be able to filter out the corp/alliance/blues if we choose to, that way we only see the ones we need to be concerned about, combine this with the numbers and we have nearly all the detail we need instantly on hand to assess the situation. If we're curious which corpies/allies/etc... are in system then we can disable the filter to see.

(I actually like the idea of you seeing yourself in a different color)

This made me thing if the best troll ever... Make every female character's text appear pink on their own screen. (But realistically, it probably wouldn't be hard to implement or make it configurable. If I want to look blue to myself, that should be just fine.)

Personalised chat colours could be a nice little improvement...
*As in each user gets to decide what colour their chat comments appear in, might even be worth extending to being able to set the colour differently in each channel.*

Joking aside it would be nice if L5 skills were highligted in the skill sheet in a similar fashion to the currently training skill is (although obviously with a different colour).

Isn't there already the ability to highlight partially trained skills? If so there must already be code there for highlighting skills other than the one in training, so highlighting lvl 5's shouldn't require too much tweaking of the code.

May you pretty please add ability to see current damage level of used laser lenses in cargo? ATM I have 4 scorches and no method to see if they're badly damaged otherwise than juggling lenses around

I'd imagine the miners might also appreciate that one, some sort of graphical overlay on the icon in the cargohold to indicate how badly damaged an item is (basically tint a larger and larger portion of the icon red).

Wow this is some great stuff!!! Big smile

With the new chat windows option will there be a setting somewhere to allow us to setup our prefered default settings for new channels/chats?

Any chance we will see the search box added to the Science and Industry blueprint tabs sometime soon?
It can be a chore when adding remote jobs and scrolling to find the needed blueprint.

Hats off to BFF!!!!

I realy like shift+click to overload modules, but compact chat member list is pure win. Is there a possibility to add sort feature to chat lists? Now people are always sorted alphabetically, i would love to sort by standing.
