EVE Information Portal

Your list is utterly incomplete. Using market tracker websites as well dotlan are far more widespread and far more important features than whatever you listed in your list. Without the IGB, I am now forced to use an out of game browser for all of that, which means constant cumbersome alt-tabbing around or use of window mode which does require tons more performance from my PC.

And if you do not endorse overlays, you better change that. You remove a vital ingame tool and have no plans or ideas to replace it properly.

We all knew this was coming, overall I am looking forward to not having to make my stuff support Chrome 3.0 ....

However I do hope that this means that the CREST team will put certain things a bit higher on their priority list than they are now. A lot of very useful features are gone with IGB.

Now I have no idea if the design goal is to bring much of that back at all as having CREST interact with the game directly to do these old actions seems very odd but i'm going to mention them anyway.

My personal wishes would be:
- Starting conversations: We currently use this to easily reach out to new players).
- Opening mails with pre generated text: We currently use this to answer much asked questions of new Horde members.
- Creating Contracts: This feature is/was such a timesaver, a 2.0 feature to fully fill in a contract would be amazing.
- Header info: The header info was very useful for analytics as a corp / alliance but I can understand that goes byebye, what is a bit of a shame though is that currently there is no way to see if someone browsing is online in EVE. We've used this for some deployment features in Horde. Currently do not see a workaround as location endpoint in CREST gives last location even if offline (last time I checked).

We are not saying you cannot use them, just that we don't support them and if they break... /shrug contact their dev not us.

That's a bullshit.
Now we will have to minimize eve client to go to a browser to check information that we need during scanning, combat, running missions etc because overlays are not the same as IGB.

Overwolf is awful. Anyone who recommends it should be forced to run missions in EVE for their ISK.

I, for one, have been waiting for this day for a while. I purposely avoid the IGB, and have for a long time. If I see a link today, I copy the URL and paste in a browser.

For WH mapping I already use a separate browser, as tedious as that is.

One suggestion...could you guys implement the game automatically putting URLs into the clipboard when clicked as well.

Edit: I rethought this. Instead of automatically adding to the clipboard, maybe there should be a third option..."Close and add to clipboard".

I use a sandboxed browser that can share a clipboard, so a default browser will never work for me.

Of course they do. I want to see the map ingame, while I check other things and actually keep being able to check other things and do not have to alt-tab out of the game to check an external app. Like what kind of reasoning are you even using...

Your devblog also misrepresents the functionality of overlay browsers. Important things like bookmarks are missing. But that's probably also just "/shrug"

One of my favourite tools from the IGB was that I could link fittings directly from our doctrine page.
Would there be a way that we can do something similar with CREST by giving them the option to download all fittings within the corporate/alliance doctrines.

Right now I can simply put them into an HTML page within the auth, but after this it'll be really frustrating to import fits as new member (or after an update).

Please put the developer time that frees up in "Little Things", like contracts for example.

you already stated it, as you don't officially endorse any, by removing the browser altogether instead of looking into readily available alternatives, you force players relying on instant knowledge in often edgy situations, to use something that might not always work and for which you are not responsible. :)
