Player Features and Ideas Discussion

depends, the oldest one is the little things aka papercuts

the other is peformance issues

the more recent is about new modules not yet heard of in eve

this one is more in particular stuff a player owns.

Question to the OP

Does this include corporate assests?

So the love of all things amarr consider holy!

Can we get a bookmark browser that is much easier to work with and find on demand?

Issue: Repackaging items is a pain. Every time I refit a ship I end up with a stack of unpackaged modules. When I launch drones, the drones turn into a bunch of unpackaged drones. Many redundant clicks are required to put your inventory back in order. And if you accidentally repackage a container with all of your loot, goodbye sanity.

Proposed solution: Automatically repackage (but do not automatically stack!!!) any undamaged module or drone in any inventory location.


Issue: Fitting multiple modules of the same type on a ship is painful. Not only you have to either drag on the fitting screen or right-click and select fit for every item, there is also very significant lag when fitting modules.

Proposed solution: When dragging a stack of modules on the fitting window, open a dialog box asking "How many of the selected items do you want to fit?" defaulting to the maximum number of that module that can be fit on the current ship.


Issue: The drag-and-drop functionality is very inconsistent across different use cases and frequently also across expansions, both major and minor, without any notice in the patch notes. Here are some use cases to test:

• Dragging a single unit of a stackable item.
• Dragging a singleton (BPC, assembled item...)
• Dragging a stack of items.
• Dragging multiple stacks of items at once.

• Dragging on top of another item's icon or name: singleton, stackable of the same type as the item being dragged, stackable of a different type, container...
• Dragging on top of empty space in a hangar / container / cargohold / structure.
• Dragging on top of the window header.
• Dragging on top of the icon of an assembled container.
• Moving items into a container / cargo bay / structure of limited volume, which does not fit all of the items being moved.
• Moving items into a hangar (for example, a POS fuel bay) which allows some of the dragged items, but not others.

Some possible outcomes:

• Nothing happens.
• An error message is received.
• All items are succesfully moved.
• All items are moved and stacked with other items of the same type in the destination container.
• A dialog box is given asking for the amount to move.
• Only some items are moved.

Once again, which response you get varies depending on what are you trying to move, where are you trying to move it, where exactly do you point your cursor, which expansion are you playing, and probably more.


Just a few problematic cases (there are many more):

Dragging a stack of fuel which is too large to fit into the fuel bay of a capital ship. If you drag on top of the empty space in the fuel bay window, you get a prompt asking you how much to move. If you drag on top of the icon or the label of fuel already present, you only get an error message.

Dragging a collection of POS fuel and not-POS-fuel items into a POS fuel bay. For example, emptying the cargo hold of a freighter carrying both POS fuel and moon minerals for the reactions. The expected behavior would be to move everything that's allowed in the fuel bay, and give an error message. The current system tries to move the fuel in a random order (maybe by internal item IDs?) and when it encounters something that can't go in the fuel bay, it throws an error and stops. The rest of the fuel remains in the cargohold.

Dragging many stacks of items to a container which doesn't have enough space to fit them all. Again the move is performed in an order seemingly random to the user. Whenever this order encounters a stack of items which can't be moved, the move gives an error and aborts. This means, for example, if you have a bunch of items, a large container, and a massive stack of ammo, and you try to move it somewhere, most likely some of the items will move, some won't, and you get an error message. But when you look at the source hangar, the first few items will still be modules which would comfortable fit in the container.

Dragging many stacks of items from one container to another. Dragging on top of empty space always works. Dragging on top of an existing stack of items also usually works. However dragging onto a singleton item gives an error "These items are not stackable" and does nothing.

Proposed solution: Engineer an uniform way dragging items works and apply it consistently to every place user can drag and drop items. The mechanism should have at least these properties:

• Best-effort. When moving many stacks of items, always try to add all the stacks to the destination, even if one stack in the middle doesn't fit.
• Predictable. Work your way through the stacks in the order in which they are sorted in the source container.
• Always try to give the option of adjusting. The operation should only error out when a single item is too large to fit. Every time a stack is being moved, the UI should automatically give the option to split the stack.
• Independent on where you click. Dragging something on top of empty space should always produce the same results as dragging on top of an item (except for when said item is a container).

Unrelated, having a "rollback" function would be a blessing. Several times now I have moved a stack of items to the wrong hangar or wrong can or something, and they got mixed up with other items, even other items of the same type. Even being able to roll back one move would save a lot of pain.

Corporate hangers in ships, pos's, stations and whatever else should simply have a set amount of alotted space, and then someone with roles in the corp should be able to set tabs and allocate the amount of m3 for each individual tab while also being able to name each tab.
Allowing corps to designate the amount of tabs also means that they can allow access to that tab by one person, so that each individual member will have a tab allocated just for them and allowing better security than members sharing tabs.

The same can be done with the corporate wallet.




Individual players should be allowed to set tabs in stations in order to allow them to better organize items without having to buy containers in order to do so.
This could possibly be done with ships as well to better allow for the organization of ammo, modules, crystals, and other items a user might want better organized in their hold.

ISSUE: Stacking window can only make one new stack at a time of x units
FIX: Let stacking window have the following modes:
Subtract: Removes x units from selected stack and makes a new stack (current)
Division: Takes selected stack and divides it into x new ones of equal size
Percentage: Removes x% from selected stack and makes new stack

Bonus point if it does this for multiple items at a time if you have them selected.
Keyboard accelerator keys to swap between the modes (- / %) would be nice too!

Fake edit: Mode to split stack into as many stacks of x units as possible.

copypasted from my other posts:

1. Please remove the 'repackage' operation before stacking items. Make it automatic and invisible to players. The only reason you repackage an item is to stack it, making player do the additional step 'repackage' is pointless.

2.ISSUE: Organising lots of items at many places/too many windows

Another FIX: Comparing to organizing inventory with containers, A FILTER SYSTEM will be way better when dealing with masses of items, like you already trying with the asset window. Just finish that function with a decent GUI instead of the current command line and apply it to the inventory window. Click some check box and filter your inventory display without even pressing enter will be awosome.please reference the filter system in Football Manager.

I also suggest you combine the 'Assets' 'Ships' and 'Items' windows into 1, with the filter option of "only display items between X and Y jumps from me"

Candidate filter keywords:

----Race:A/C/G/M/sasha/angel,etc
----Type:Ship/modules/materials,etc
----Slot:high/mid/low/dronebay/ship modification...
----Tech level Min/Max:1,2,3
----Meta levet Min/Max
----Damaged:Y/N
----Skill qualified:Y/N
----Distance from where I am min/max: jump numbers form where I am, this will become more important if you adopt this filter system to ,say market.
----In hanger or in cargo/container
----Overall invert filter: Y/N. invert the visibility of items. So you can exclude not only Erebuses,but also by all the other attributes. This may be done with a checkbox.
----BPO/BPC: always an issue to address.
----Certain Tag or Name

Please let us name and save our customized filter setting like we do with overview, and let us add multiple tabs in asset windows to use these customized settings just like in overview, you switch the tab, different items appear and hide. The current Assets window and Inventory window can be made into two tabs with simply different distance filter setting, and ships windows is another tab with only the type "ships" checked.

What's more, this filter system can be adopted by the market window easily, making everything easier to find without remembering names or dealing with containers , and make the UI of EVE much more unified.

Get rid of all the separate windows for station hangers, corp hangers, and ship bays and employ the Assets window for all asset management.

Many thanks for all of those good suggestions. It seems to me that we'll be harvesting heavily from this thread. Keep it coming

Issue: Has repackaging been fixed in wh's?
Fixes: allow easier repackaging or remove it from the game completely

Possibly full of win :

when browsing ship fittings, tell me how Many of the modules I have at my current location and how many ships I could fit with what I have
