EVE General Discussion

Is eve a modern fps now? Is that why every god damn ship is brown? ffs

Thanks everyone for your feedback regarding the Shift discussion. As pointed out here, there already is a setting in the Esc Menu related to reverting Shift behavior, so it might make sense to have this behavior tied with that setting. Hopefully those that already use that setting will also want the Inventory Shift function to be reverted.



Interesting point, this would solve it very gracefully. I have added it to our Iteration plan, thank you.

UH! I hope you do not mean the “Merge “Items” and “Ships” into station panel” checkbox on the General Settings Tab of the ESC Menu.
I know this checkbox. But it is absolute no solution because after checking it - ALL windows are really merged into the station panel.
THIS is absolute not helpful. Helpful would only free moveable windows. Not a collection of tabs within the station panel. Station panel has nothing to do with inventory or windows.

Please do not try to exchange "Unified" with "Merged".

The idea to bound a window to something that not belongs to, would not be an improvement. You should spare your development time and bring just the autoshift to open seperate and independent windows. Never bound a window on something. Just own windows, adjustable in size and position.

yes they are!
do you think I should write a micro dev blog on it next week when I get back from vacation so everybody notices?

I don't know what but you're talking about, unfortunately, but I can take a look on Monday if there's already a bug report on it?

<3 u too random man on the internet

basically, imagine having your assets in Amarr open on the left side and your assets in Jita open on the right

you drag one of your stacks in Amarr to the right and it opens a courier contract prompt

~the possibilities~

1: The hulk needs a bit bigger ore hold (doesn't have to be much)
2: Change one ore mining amount bonus to a cycle time bonus.
3: Improve the capacitor generation a bit to cushion the extra energy use caused by a faster cycle time.

Especially point 2 will make it more distinct from the other ships in that it takes many smaller bites, instead of a few large chunks. This makes it less prone to ore hold overrun that would otherwise be a serious issue and also enables it to mine activity with less ore yield loss because there is only half a cycle left in a rock.

Obviously, it will chew trough crystals faster, so give it proportionally a bit more cargo hold then the Mackinaw.

Otherwise, as things stand, there hardly ever will be a sane reason to use a Hulk, given the advantages the Mackinaw has over the Hulk.

Udl - CCP continuing to slather makeup on a pig. Static windows for in station operations - that's all that's needed. UdI was trying to solve a problem that actually exists in the Assets UI.

The way a miner friend of mine put it, the Hulk becomes worse for solo mining but better for fleet mining.



Isn't this just extending what that option applies to? What does it break?



Something that might improve communication is more micro-devblogs. A lot of forum rage could be prevented with this. Even a locked thread saying "No, we haven't forgotten about x" every now and then would help. I think a lot of recent Unified Inventory rage came from the fact that dev blogs were being pushed on it, then suddenly they just stopped. In other words, yes, publish it!

I notice Team Avatar are still waiting for theirs to be approved by CCP Unifex. Granted, vacations/sickness will slow things down, but wouldn't it be better if approval was only required by team leads (assuming that's not how it's done currently)?

No. Even when they blogged about it, we still raged at them. Doubt that's gonna change. The rage has quite a great deal to do with the off hand way that every concern about it was waved off as us "not giving it a chance". Go look up the original thread. It starts out with a bunch of "Wow! That's cool!". Then the day it's released on the test server, you see a bunch of "Holy ****! What is this abomination!?!?"

Of course, being on the test server, people expect garbage, and thus, it wasn't really rage, just pointing out that it sucked. Following that was a great deal of suggestions that would have made the system workable (ignoring the lag issues). Then one of the dev's posts in the thread "Goes live on Inferno next week!" and the rest of the thread is everyone who tested it BEGGING CCP to not release it because it wasn't ready. THAT is why there is such a level of hatred. They didn't bother to fix it when they knew it was a broken pile of ****.

Also, really doesn't help that the most requested features are simply a return of lost shortcuts. That **** should have been hotfixed in same ******* day. It's a god damn short cut. Is your code REALLY that ****** up that you can't bring back shortcuts in the right click menu and neocom? Why the insistence that we use the damn tree to navigate when using the neocom shortcuts and right click menu are more natural AND what the player base is used to? You even bury the damn neocom shortcuts so you don't confuse the new players, and the rest of us will just simply remove the Inventory from our neocom, and put back item hangar/ship hanger and whatever else we want.

Having 1 checkbox for 2 things that are completely unrelated? How is that extending anything?

This is another example of why this particular dev shouldn't be allowed to touch UI stuff. He has no concept of usability and workflow. Has he even ever played EVE? You know, just to see what all the hubbub is about?

Do you use your show-info windows the same way you use inventory windows?
Do you use your inventory windows the same way you use show-info windows?

Why in the ever loving hell should they be forced to behave the same way, when they don't have a goddamned thing to do with one another? 1 checkbox? Are you freakin' kidding me?
