Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This right here I still think would be the best implementation for this. It's simply a name tag on the systems your alliance has sov for, so that they can be marked allowing everyone else in the alliance to know.

Perhaps when a leader adds a tag to one of your controlled sov systems, it sends out an alliance mail to allow everyone to know. It could simply be

"Under attack 1"
"Staging area"
"trade hub"

even if you don't give systems a specific tag like that, you can give them a tag that is much easier to remember.

A lot of players like myself have problems remembering numbered and lettered systems, so we leave items in stations there so we can set the destination off of our assets tab

But if the system had a memorable name, like

"Sad Panda"
"Big Scarry Bear"
"Shawshank"

or something along those lines, it would be easier for us to remember that name and what exactly is at that destination, whether it be our ratting system, the border zones, mining systems, trade hubs, etc. etc. etc.

The numbers and letters system isn't working, so the quick fix that doesn't give the enemy a tactical advantage is allowing hidden alliance tags that show up on assets, overview for gates, system info in top left. Pretty much anything that shows that system's name has a quoted name attached to it.

nooo, a really bad idea.

1) I want to remember systems and their location, not that today BWF- is in geminate and tomorrow its in delve and former BWF turn into something different. If I set a destination I love to know where the system is without looking into infos and checking maps, dotlan and stuff to make sure i'm flying where I actually want to go.

2) I would not like living in a universe full of systems named like "pen1s", "umad", "trolololol" and similar ones...

In your part one you referred to remembering, in earlier posts we discussed and concluded that there will be 2 names Permanent(location name) and the Custom name together in one that you will see on your overview. If you can't remember the location name that's not the games fault that's you.
Part 2 is a little funny to me cause you are not the first one to mention this, if you don't like the names you are probably in the wrong Corp/Alliance cause people name lots of stuff like the Corp itself, your Char name, Stations, Ships, Cans, Alliances,.....

I have good faith in this idea, but I am not blind to the drawbacks either. So on that note if you don't like something don't just bash on it, come up with a solution or an idea you can add to the general discussion

There is so much more to this game that requires fixing, changing, buffing, nerfing, implementing etc that to set programmers to change this, a totally cosmetic and pointless thing, would be a disgrace. This is just high sec pubbie bullshit.

I do not know why you criticize my idea if that's your issue, maybe you should take some initiative and point out the bugs and post em up do your part instead of putting people me me down cause you think your bad ass. last time I checked (now) I am doing my part, what about you Mr. Critic???

Sorry I can't please ALL

Ok dude I do not know how CCP is doing and what their workload is(I wish I worked for them it would be awesome and i would have a clue hows it's like)..But from what I see your issue is with me, not my idea. I don't $h!t on your threads and ideas and if they are good I'll support them and try to put in some input. What I will not do is put your idea down even if I think they are dumb, cause that's not going to help you or the game, I'll ignore it and move on, unless I see a way to help you and suggest something then by all means I will.
I'm not going to play politics with you, I play EVE that's plenty politics for me. Here in the forums just be somewhat respectful and constructive (I'll check your posts and read them, maybe you have a more important issues you want to point out ill try and help but you'll never see me post something on those issues involving stuff off topic just to show off my "smarts" and make you look stupid), it's childish

What proof do you have that they're under supported? It's obvious CCP is moving towards asthetic and visual changes to please customer base. Look at WIS, that helped fix problems right? No, it's marketable though.

I think you assume they're overwhelmed and thus haven't made the changes *you* think are important, when in reality they'd rather spend time increasing marketability, a key for that in MMOs is customiztion and personalization in the game. The map already updates sov changes, char names, alliances, corps, this wouldn't be a huge endeavor.

But the prefix to the name would still be unoriginal and completely unique. (the highlighted and underlined part below) It would just be more helpful for the sake of comms by saying "Nightmare on Elm" system instead of sounding like a cyborg and not saying "No, not VR5-KLJ, I said meet me in GR5-KLG"
