Funny how you're always participating in the other threads not having to do with programming, and yet you're the software director.

Or maybe not for all of the people who can't play Eve because you released a launcher that was not sufficiently tested...

Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round.

All very nice - keep up the good work...
A question: Is it possible to click the character name in the application window to check info on random dudes and dolls sending applications?

I don't think I implemented it that way but that would be a super good idea and I should make it so!

The watch list. Smile

Would it not be possible to have the background of the persons name to be utilized as feedback for the 3 status bars. You could have 3 colours (changeable for those who wish it but identifiable by there position) that are the background colour behind the name. Easy to see and you could also allow the ability to set them to flash if they change and have a red border flash if they go below a set % overall on there ship HP.
This would reduce the amount of GUI real-estate by 50% in respect of this feature as well as providing a more appeasing and easier to utilise information as the eye's will only be focusing on half as much information and the relevant information being as a background coloured status bar. Be much better on the brain and seems a shame with a game that demands graphics cards that have more processing power than all the original PONG games cabinets ever made, yet still seem to leverage that old black and white health bar's.

Whilst were about it I'd also like the option to automatically remove people from the watch list if there in pod's and to automatically add people in FC,WC,SC positions. I'd also like to be able to remove people in pod's from fleet in those positions and automatically move to next best person into those positions from there respective tiering, but I can accept a certain level of micro-management.

Blueprint filter is a big improvement as is the fix for remembering the location when setting up lab jobs so a big thumbs up on them.

This should be easy to do, I'll look into itSmile

If you are taking a look at the LP store some method of buying multiple of the same item would be great.

Blueprint filtering ftw!

Target Shield/armor/hull is nice, but maybe it would be possible to display these things permanently, without having to hover? Just an idea. To reduce clutter, this would only be displayed for the currently selected target.

Thanks for the small things guys, keep up the good work!

Hi CCP Punkturis, got a request from the web developers out here...can we pretty pretty please get CCPEVE.setDestination() for the IGB to set destinations to stations as well as solarsystems?

We were so happy and overjoyed when we could set destination in game to a station. But the IGB apparently did not get the memo. Any chance of that poking its head up in a nearby sprint?

I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon

I've forwarded this suggestion to the developers responsible for the autopilot feature.

Seconding this idea and giving mad props to CCP Punkturis for so many responses in this thread and following the thread for almost two days now! Big smile

I feel like this could be achieved without the currentlySelectedTarget modifier and without using any screen real estate by simply putting the % (or even absolute Cool) display on the sh/ar/st bar itself, rather than off to the side where it could cause obstruction.

If the color contrast between text/health bar was properly managed, we could see both clearly at the same time, and we would dance.

Ha! .. finally, searchable blueprints. That took years CCP.
+1 to those improvements. Small but high impact.

On the watchlist, top on my list are:
- distinction between shield and armor bars. Logi pilots who swaps between shields and armor can easily tell you that repping shields is easier on the eye.
Put a blue/purple bar for shields maybe? or implement some sort of background pattern?
- background flashing instead of foreground flashing of pilots that are being attacked. Easier to discern at first glance.

Can someone please make a video of him voting in 50 open corp votes, upload it to youtube, call it "fanmade trailer" and link to Punkturis? Big smile

Excellent changes! Keep 'em coming.

One question: Why not put the % of armor, etc. up all the time (or only when not 100%)? I'd love to be able to see it w/o having to mouse over.

+1
Just put them inside the bars, 0-100, no need for decimals/percentage symbol even.


Also the cake was not a lie, it's just that being a girl, having a crap day and feeling a little downSad, well CCP Punkturis....

really like the watchlist changes, nice to see some stuff happening there :)

one suggestion though: it would be awesome if i could select multiple pilots and drag&drop them to watchlist in one go.
then i could do sth like: click in logi channel userlist, ctrl+a, drag them all to watchlist, never let a fellow logi die because i didnt see its hp

Some feedback on the blueprint filter (excellent addition that it is), I notice that trying to filter CORP bp's does not work by typing into the corp tabs filter box, but it DOES work if i filter in the PERSONAL bp's section. This then filters both personal and corp at the same time.

for example:
filter "thrasher" in corp tab - no change
filter "thrasher" in personal tab - both tabs now filter on "thrasher"

otherwise works very well and I like it very much.
