Hello

I'm a new newbie, I've tinkered with Eve off and on, and lately pretty hardcore. With all the new UI changes I got a idea you might like. A visual effect to ship fitting in a station; when items are placed on or off the ship, there animated robotic arms that do the work to the ship! Like a automotive assembly line, robot arms welded, bolt on parts. I mean ship building one of the funnest parts to Eve right, this makes it a little more interactive.


Also I would love to see ship painting, and custom emblems to put on ships (like your corp logo on the hood of your ship), not sure if the community is interested in that. Just ideas, please don't burn this newbie for talking Smile

Good ideas.

A great place to post them is in EVE Forums » EVE Technology and Research Center » Features & Ideas Discussion

Interesting. I think that CCP has already given some thought to decals for ships.

On the robot arms fitting my ship, will I be able to see this from the balcony of my CQ? I'm kidding! I'm kidding!

I had an idea the other day of an improvement, instead of heaving to open the fitting window, then click browse, then corporation fittings, I think more right-click options should be added to the neocom to shortcut the process a bit.

Like rightclick on fitting icon -> open corp fittings.

Just saves a couple clicks and an opened window.

Oh, and while they are making more and more drag-and-link functionality, I want to be able to drag from character sheet skills to chat window, pl0x. For whatever reason that doesn't work when just about everything else in the game can be dragged and dropped.

I know this has nothing really to do with the OPs idea, but it reminded me of a papercut.

Can't wait to dual box my Dust toon and EVE toon on the same machine!
