Hello,

Not a rant thread or anything, just puzzled bout

Why can I 'Open drone bay' on ships that cannot hold drones - like the bestower as an example ?

Agent finder
- Why does it not show all agents available to me ?
- Why dos it not show the few level 2 agents available to me ?
- Why does it only show agents in Minmatar 25 jumps away and not the ones like 4 jumps away ?

Why is the 'outer' clothings see through when viewing toon in full scale and in capt's quarters ?

*I might add more to the list later on.

/Q

It sounds like a little F12 and bug reporting would be more constructive than this.

Well, the outer clothing glitch is probably an issue with your drivers or graphics card. I've played games where I had heat issues and everyone rendered their hitboxes as glowing white cubes. It was funny for a few minutes but was an obvious sign of a serious problem.

I don't always use hax. But when I do, it's because I'm an NPC.. http://i.imgur.com/PUZou.jpg

Also sounds like you have the wrong parameters set in the agent finder, check to make sure you have the correct region/faction etc set up, agent finder has always worked great for me. That being said, you can always go to this site for an easier to read format:

http://eve-agents.com/index.dxd?AgentName=&System=&Region=10000032&Corporation=1000120&Faction=-&Division=-&Level=-&Skill=-&Locator=1&Storyline=-&FWAgent=-&Sort=7&Direction=0

sorry for wierd link, thats how its set in my browser currently

Drone bay popping up is probably just for ease of coding. Having to separate all ships into drone and non drone bay ships would be another block of code that would have to be written, debug- OH GOD PROGRAMMING FLASHBACK

@ Eso
Thx for that useful post. I will have a looksey next time I'm online.

@ Valenty
Also thx. I tempered a bit with the gfx settings which seems to solve a bit of the see through thing, but not 100 %

@ Aihwa
U prolly right about the coding assumption. Just found it amusing. Now u see it, now u don't :)

Why, when I look up a corporation in my corporate panel to see if they're at war, and I'm looking dead at the corp's info panel to make sure it's spelled correctly, do I get the return in red that no such corp exists?

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.
