I used that, the small font has the same height and just a tinly smaller width than the large font. Any way to just put the font I used for years and that was practical to use?

Moreover, could you put the font option elsewhere? IE the drones window is just below the overview window and it could also use the smaller font.


Finally, please implement SHIFT + minimize => old behavior with minimized windows at the bottom.
Some windows are just so tiresome to open 50000 times showing the neocom (I use it auto-hidden), locating the icon and stuff.

We agree and changed it so now you can double click anywhere on the agent entry to get a conversation window. It will be deployed soon

1) I'd like to have my BIG undock button back.
1a) I'd like to have my ship and items buttons in a more convenient place. As of now is like seeking for my pantaloons pockets when I need to scratch my nose.

2) I'd like to not see 15 identical blue (!) icons in the neocom. At least make those windows icons different or put their windows caption or something.

3) I'd like that the "small" font in the overview was small because it saved space, not to take the same space while just being harder to read.

4) I'd like a SHIFT + minimize function that makes windows minimize like once. Now I have to wait for neocom to appear (autohide) AND then go all the way left and find the little and correct icon. It just sucks.

5) I am missing the old item names. What about you ADDED an easy alias instead of removing known cool SCI FI names and replaced them with Dr. House's hospital themed "trauma"?

6) The PI circles draw erratically if at all, sometimes I get white big boxes in place of them. I am using nVidia 570 + super-latest drivers on Win 7 64 bit.

7) Even when the PI circles draw, the launchers often draw their fill status wrong. IE I empty them, the numbers say they are empty but the "circle" shows it's border like they were still almost full.

Thank you, thank you, thank you my huge-dps-heavy-tank-Hawk is now just awesome!

Smooth as can be really.

Downloaded patch from the client, auto-applied. Started client, update #1 immediately popped up. Applied & re-started client. Total time 15 mins max.

Opened client, logged in, love the new look of the NeoCom. That and the compact player list in chat are real winners for me, frankly.

I miss the silly old module names though - they added a little spirit to things and I for one am still going to look at their attributes to decide what to fit where. Let's not take all the laughs out please :)

So, job done: thanks CCP.

Why I need to do this? I had certain icons enabled in my old neocom, including calculator and notepad, which weren't there after your crappy update. It is not our job to reconfigure every *ucking character after you mess up with the settings.

Several windows have been reseted also again.

Yes *uck this. If you disable all blinking also the wallet notification is gone. I want to get rid of entire chat button. It wasn't in old neocom. I don't need it.

AND HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO MINIMIZE MY WINDOWS TO BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN SO THAT I CAN SEE THEIR WINDOW LABES LIKE BEFORE??? *UCK THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yes I am pissed as hell.

My 0.02 isk about minimized windows:

Absent being able to see the *names* of minimized windows without mousing over their buttons one by one, having a bunch of identical looking buttons on the neocom is pretty useless.

Example: I have 3 cargo cans open, which button is which? They all have different names, but their neocom icon is the exact same.

Also, why do some non-minimized windows appear as buttons on the neocom (cargo cans, scanner display) while others do not (overview, selected item, drones window)? Why do I have a quick way to access cargo cans from the neocom but no quick way to access drones or overview? If hostiles come out of warp suddenly I want to bring overview to the front fast, but there is little call for a cargo can related emergency

Heck, why do non-minimized windows appear on the neocom at all? I liked the old functionality where minimized windows turned into little buttons and non-minimized windows did not. Easier to tell which is which IMO.

Finally, there seems to be a bug regarding minimized window icons sometimes appearing as a blue "i" instead of their proper image. The browser does this a lot, for example. Having a bunch of blue "i" icons compounds the first issue above about not being able to distinguish the buttons by name anymore and having to rely on the icon visuals.


EDIT: note that most of these complaints are minor nitpicks compared to the overwhelming awesomeness from this patch that is the ability to bring a shield ship out of an SMA fully charged for immediate battle!

I guess it will be better after getting used to it but with some improvements to the new neocom, there came a few nuisances with it.


- As many posted before, the way chat channels are organized now is plainly annoying. Before, I had channels minimized and could read which one was blinking - now it's just a mess.
- First thing I did when logging in was to get rid of buttons I never ever used on the old neocom - guess which one was among the first? Right: Chat Button - unfortunately, I can't remove it.
- Two of the most used buttons on the neocom - items and ships hangar - are locked at the bottom of the neocom next to the undock button - one of the first things I tried was moving them up. Please make them movable.
- Regardless of using different colour schemes when multiboxing, my first look went up to the character portrait when switching between clients, which is too small when I have the neocoms width set in a manner to meet desired button height.
Being able to configure button height separately of neocom width would be nice, so I could have a huge character portrait but am still able to fit lots of buttons under it. So you have a small button and empty space to the right of it under a huge character protrait - kind of like the old expanded view.
- The clock should be movable and scale with the neocom - I'd like a big clock somewhere in the middle - having that option would be great.

As it is.. this Neocom is absolute in no way customizable as you guys announced .

- Confusing
- No names for the button
- Too small charpic
- Sh!t Chaticon cant be removed
- Icons for items and ship hangar are fixed on a dumb position
- you cant set names of groups
- ...

Roll Back the old neocom. And abandon the new one. It is useless and crap!
Roll Back the names of modules and ammunition. Who was the dumba$$ at CCP who thought this was necessary or clever?

And please.. Respond to the critics of your mess. You have asked us and now deal with it. Otherwise dont ask! The last patch was 90% crap. You have changed thinks which where NEVER a problem. Sh!t!

The neocom has needed a face lift for quite some time. What is missing in this iteration, however, is the basic premise needed in accessing information; simple, intuitive, and fast.

Any changes to the neocom really must keep these requirements as the primary focus.


As well, I find that I must agree with many other players regarding the module name changes. As challenging as the old names were to those of us with poor memories, they added a lot of flavor to EVE.

I would suggest that the names remain as they were, and simply tack a descriptive designation onto the end of the name. I.E.: EM, Kinetic, Thermal, Explosive, 1MN, 10MN, 100MN

For instance: Catalyzed Cold-Gas Arcjet Thrusters 1MN

This would keep the flavor of the game and be a big help to the newer players (and those of us with less than adequate memories.)

As to the rest of the work CCP is doing to enhance and improve EVE, I heartily approve. Keep up the great work people!
