Hi CCP! Big fan of your work.

When using the system map, mousing-over any clump of objects immediately expands the clump to a vertical list of all the objects underneath, whether they are bookmarks, moons, whatthehellelseappearsonthesystemmap. And, hey, it's pretty annoying, woo! There used to be a slight delay for this effect, which was pretty damn super, I have to say. It meant that I could swing my mouse pointer around the screen with the sheer thrill of seeing it whizz everywhere without every single moon being listed the millisecond I accidentally got close to it. What can I say? I have simple tastes.

With the immediate expansion, I am forever having to adjust the pointer's position, because a clump of moons will expand by accident and then the focus of what I actually want to point at is lost, such as trying to zoom in and out, or select a probe, or move a probe, or, you know, do what I want to do and not what the stupidly over-sensitive UI thinks I want to do.

If I want to expand the list of objects, I really don't mind half-a-second's delay before it happens. That's just fine with me, I have that time to spare. What I don't want is for me to be wasting my effort almost every time I move my mouse in the system map, which is what is happening now. Can you please re-introduce the small delay for object clumps to expand in the system map?

No probs, hopefully if others read it they might have saved a fresh new install. Isk donations welcome :-p

Im still crashing!
AND i get a renewal notice!

The removal of the date from the UI and requirement to open the calendar has not grown on me nor does this change create more value to the EVE service in my day-to-day game-play.

Yes, I have read the justifications for this change. Makes no difference. I *NEVER* use the ******* calendar. Nor do I wish to as the UI is clunky and takes an extra couple of seconds to navigate.

Please do not do this. Ships are different. I like it that ships are treated differently in the hangar, and wish other views would do the same thing. If anything, I wish that the inventory was more fragmented (eg blueprints, ammo, modules, other), not less.

Also, this module and missile renaming is a bad idea. Adding keywords to identify types - scourge kinetic heavy missiles, 1MN catalyzed cold gas arcjet thrusters (or even arcjet microwarpdrive) - would have been great. But instead we've got a homogenising change that actually takes away information:


(1) before, it used to be very easy to tell which missiles I wanted: Scourge was medium, wrath was large, they were obviously different missiles. Now, I regularly find myself trying to load Trauma into my drake, only to discover that it's actually a Trauma cruise missile, not a trauma heavy missile.

The microwarpdrives and afterburners are even worse. Rather than the meta items having distinctive names, they are now all much the same, except with a "Limited", "Upgraded" or "Experimental" prefix. I challenge anyone to put those names in the correct meta order just from their English meanings.


(2) This may be counter-intuitive, but once one is familiar, it's easier to deal with unique names rather than lists of qualifiers. This is what "branding" is; associating things with names. In "Scourge (kinetic heavy missile)", the keyword is "Scourge" - you can drop the qualifier. In "Trauma kinetic heavy missile", you're now interested in "kinetic heavy", because Trauma is no longer a distinctive term, even though its the most prominent.


TL;DR: go back to the old names, except:

(1) add a keyword to each name (such as '1MN' or 'kinetic').
(2) add a S/M/L size marker to the propulsion mod icons, just as for guns.

I need to jump in here and make a complaint too, for i too have had serious connection trouble sscence the deployment of this addition to EVEONLINE. I have not been able to do any missions with out being disconnected so i just stick to mining for the time being.
CCP,...It gets real frustrating to see that such a beautiful game such as EVE is plagued with problems such as disconnects, crashes and such. You all have gone to great lenghts to make sure that this game is visually appealing but Im thinking that you have over looked one thing that makes any game a nessasety to the player,......STABILITY.

Ive got two accounts, and i mine with both of them most of the time, well atleast lately i have been only because of the stability issue.
Im good with all the changes you have done in game, and scence im GALLENTE,...the Hybird upgrades are fantastic,...that is if i could use them with out disconnecting.

My game time is coming up soon, so ive decided to let my account laps till you all get this issue fixed, for im NOT going to pay for a flakie game.

Ive been in EVE for about 4 years now, CCP, ive always seen you guys take complaints like this to heart and you all have fixed these issues. I will say that this time, the issue is bad, real bad. Ive tested al l my connected machines connection to the net. Ive monitored the thru put and im not seeing anything odd except for when the connectin drops from your end,...its not on my end,..its on your end.

Ill leave this issue here,.....all yours now CCP

Good Luck,..when you all get it fixed,..Ill come back.
Till then,...Ill go to WoT till this is all fixed

Simplification is good, over-simplification is not (ie unifying ships/items).

Also, running Win7 64-bit I had to remove and reinstall twice before getting the latest patch to work. It's the first time I've ever had any issues with an EVE patch. I'm unsure if the issue is even on your end, but if you've received enough similar complaints to warrant a check, I recommend it.

I have the same problem

No, i will try this... what i did was group my weapons and the auto-repaeat worked... when i ungrouped, it stoped working again, then a deactivated it in all weapons and it begun to work again... so now i have all my guns with the auto-repeat option as DEACTIVATED, but they are actually activated, and i had no courage to change again, becouse fire manually is a pain...
