Camera offset doesn't work in Captain's Quarters -- check. This makes CQ almost unusable with multiple monitors.

Also, the "Join fleet?" pop-up does not follow the camera offset either.

Oh, and also, when you disable the "Load station environment" setting, your ship will always appear at the middle of the screen, regardless of the Camera offset setting. Again, it looks very bad when EVE spans on two monitors.

Since the recent improvements to the camera drones and consequent redirection of stargate structures to point to the star to which they travel, I have noticed (even more) that the camera will reposition itself (facing 6 o'clock) every time you jump. This makes it very difficult to appreciate the movement of eve's stars and stellar nebulae when you jump, since your relative view perspective is constantly thrust back to 6 o'clock and you have to reorient yourself needlessly. If you could please save the relative camera position through a session change, I feel it would make a great improvement to the visual dynamic of jumping.

Allow people to issue "In Position" / "At Location" /"Travel To" broadcasts while docked in a station. Not sure why you can't do this.

Planets in the science and indy tab should show the capacity of your spaceport, so that you can know at a glance when you need to attend to your planets.

There should be a nice way of switching between characters without logging out, or logging out without shutting down the client, etc.

Deleting past corp events might be nice.

The option to have a title private would be good (if there isn't already... there might be...). I'd rather not give people outside the corp free intel.

The whole process of using a jump clone needs to be redone: Skills should be the last failure notice, not the first one. If skills are the only obstacle, then the computer should automatically pause,jump,renew skills, rather than the user doing those steps... um, you probably should be able to clone jump with a session timer, since you'll be doing it from stations only, right?
(Not sure how clone vat modules work).

etc. etc. etc.

So many damn problems with the game. I wish you luck in your quest, it's a noble one. :)

Standing

Allow for players to pay 200mil for 1 point of standing gain for characters that are in negative standing with that empire faction. availability of this feature should end at 0 standing from -10


No, the implementation of your general idea is very silly. It has to use diminishing returns.

The first +1.5 to standing should cost 500 million ISK.

The next 500 million ISK buys you only +1.2 to standing. +1 to standing for the next alf billion again.

Next half billion buys you +0.8, then +0.7, then +0.6, +0.5.

After that it should get tougher. +.45, +0.4, +0.35, +0.3 and +0.25. That's a total of +8.15 standing for a total of 6 billion ISK. With your scheme, +8 standing would have cost 1.6 billion ISK.

After that each full billion ISK buys +0.05 standing up to some point, probably a mx of 17 installments for a total standing modifier of +9.0. This is a fixed standing modifier and so has to be agnostic as to whether the pilot's current unmodified standing is positive or negative.

So basically, yes the idea is sound. It would make EVE a better game if pilots could bribe their way to standing. And yes EVE does need more money sinks. But no, big no, your price point is far too low.

The ability to rent out POS facilities to all comers, or to positive-standing friends only, as chosen by the corp who owns the POS. Seriously. EVE needs this a whole lot.

I'm talking research facilities and production facilities.



From what I've heard, some kind of individual-basis storage module at a POS would also be welcomed by a lot of players. Limited to corp members and rent-paying corp friends, of course, and with a limited number of personal hangar slots per module (rather than infinite personal hangar slots if you just anchor one such module).,

When broadcasting for cap in fleet i find it annoying there isnt a broadcast option to say cap is full.Most of the time in fleets we use the in position broadcast to let people know we are good on cap,but we also use this in incursions to say we dont need rep.I would like the option when broadcast for cap to be able to right click the need cap to select to say cap is full or cap is good or something.You could just add another icon for it but i dont know if people want too many icons to click on there.

Expanding on this idea, add broadcast messages for "clear" (shields/armor/cap clear)

Probably the biggest little thing that annoys me right now is certificates.

Could you please implement an option when I am awarded a certificate that I can click on the little message and it takes me to the certificate? I would like this so I can see what I need to do to get to the next level.

Also a search option in the certificates window would be a godsend.

Thanks,

I dont feel like reading through 95 pages to try and find if someone has posted this before, so apologies if it has.

I have a gripe with the ingame text font sizes.
I use a resolution of 1650x1080 on a sizable 40" screen.
This makes for some great gaming, but leaves me with the problem that I either have to squint or lean forward to read any text on the screen.

I have already set the font sizes and everything related to it to its highest setting (largest text size), and even tried reducing the resolution almost to its lowest setting, yet still find myself having a hard time at best reading the text on the screen.

So my request would be, if its possible, for larger text fonts.

The alternative would be for me to move even closer to my monitor and I'm not too keen on doing that.
As I am nearsighted I already use glasses, so there is little more I can do on my end unless someone knows of something I havent thought of yet.

Thanks for mentioning it
I thought I had, but after checking I found it was still only set to the default 100%
Set it to 125% and that helped.

Better warping options.

Why do I need to make book marks all over the place in each system. Book marks 300km of gate for observation points for example, safe undocks.

Every pilot has to go through and make a ton of these stupid little book marks all over. This is in addition to safe spots. These tacticles are a pain in the but and not fun to create.

Adding an area where we could by text set warp to a gate at 300 would be huge. Or even the ability to simple warp 200k/m straight ahead(would have some min dustance)

Better maps. Dot lan maps are required. Having these in game would help a lot. A quick map of everythig within 5 or so jumps would be huge. Or even have it show a route and everything within 3 jumps(would zoom out but you could zoom back in)

What would be really cool is if FC's could see sucha map and where there scouts where on this map. Even cooler wouldbe if the scouts could added labels to the FC's maps.

FC's often ask for X's in fleet.

A better option would be something that auto tallies the results.
The sytem would post the question and would tally the results by ship class.


Eg) Who is in xyz-123 x up.

43total x's
10bs's
25 bC's
8 logi

Save's FC's from counting the x's/

1. When you put something into reinforced there should be a right click menu option for "Add to Calendar".

2. Sorting in chat channels. I want to be able to sort by standing instead of by name, for example

3. Change or add an option to change how the overview 'state' filtering works:
Currently any object needs to be in agreement with every possible state in order to show up on overview, well except for 'fleet' is seems. For example, if I have ticked the 'is in fleet' box but not the 'is in corp' box then no one from my corp will show up on overview when they're in fleet. This makes it impossible to set a FLEET ONLY overview (useful for a lot of things), since everyone in your fleet also satisfies different conditions, for example negative sec status. So you need to tick the neg sec status box for a fleet member with neg sec to show up, but then anyone who's neg sec and not in your fleet will also show up.
