Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Though if i could set these up to give off different notes for different systems and have a string if them down the amarr-dodixi pipe so that they play "the girle from iponima" to te rest of my corp e v e r y time a war target went that way youwould be onto a winner.

Not to sound like an ass, but I'm still struggling to see the problem. Everything you just listed (add in tripwire, zkillboard and pirate's little helper to your list also) are just tabs in a browser or simply overlays. You never have to see all those things maximized at once.

If you're on a single account you don't need audio pings, you're looking at the screen. If you have multiple accounts it SHOULD be harder to keep track of everything. As a rule I dislike ideas where the game makes up for player effort.

Likewise, more than you know.

Again, I wonder at the future development of Surveillance structures in EVE. My idea here was to build an extremely limited use, small-scale, moderate range version of what I theorize the surveillance structures will accomplish.

As Gadget and Lyra kind of pointed to: If it was a deployable that had restrictions on placement, skill level, etc, and even then could only directionally scan (say, max FOV of 30 degrees) to a max of 5 AU, and even then could only notify you visually to a maximum range equal to your remote sensing skill, or a portion thereof, you still get something pretty powerful. And as you put it 'flips the game', in exactly the ways you suggest.

What about POS or ... citadel-sized anchored structures? What could they see? What intel would they provide?

[Edited to add] Let's flip the model a bit. What if instead of a visual pop-up or audio cue, all it did was give you a remote camera with a zoom. What if it actually let you watch the gate?

Damn you, Ralphie!

This is me. When you are paying attention you dont need multiple monitors. Why should people not paying attention get something that benefits them so much, whilst people actively playing the game get little to no benefit from it?

This idea, like audio notifications for a full ore hold, is asking for hand holding mechanics for afk miners, at the expense of active players. Very disappointing in such a competitive game.

I understand the thoughts here but to be honest all I see is someone hanging onto the only thread he can find as a reason to not allow this. If we change the notification from an audible one to a visual one as Gadget suggests then it takes the whole AFK boost out of the discussion.

Change the notification to visual and remove the audible and I like the concept.
