Delay time is clearly the issue.

2 seconds minimum.

Please add proper delays to the mouse-over effects on in-space brackets too.

Please?

Pretty Please?

As well, sometimes people are going to HOVER over a module in anticipation of some event that may happen in the un-foretold future. Possibly for hours, and the tool-tip might get in the way at that point.

Perhaps this issue is just the tooltip itself. Or the location of the tooltip. You could just have it appear above the modules rather than "linked" over it. Make it look more like part of the interface as a HUD element.... let me try and draft something.

So, instead of it obstructing the general "Module area", it just looks like a statistics display as you hover over, and when you're not hovering over you can put some other info there?

Just throwing that out there.

and AGAIN ... just like in the fitting window ...

only dps, no alpha.


Or how about separate suggested DPS and alpha values for each resist for targets based on distance, sig, transversal etc.

I hope you guys will still use them, but if you really don´t want them, you will be able to turn them off (so it's new awesome tooltips or no tooltips).

I hope that will work for you guys :)


How did a simple disable function miss launch? Did you guys really assume that people would be ok with huge windows displaying next to no useful information would be accept by the masses? Also it's very buggy and the tool tips windows often get stuck in the top left of my screen...

Anyway, i'm glad to see that you're correcting your short sightedness.

This makes too much sense...my head hurts...I think I'm going to pass out. Big smile

Seriously though, how difficult is it to do a different icon, simply and concisely showing the damage type the hardener improves? Similar to the faction/tier marker in the corner, only in the opposite corner. And if you wanted to go totally crazy, you could even make this a toggle in the options.

EDIT: Oh, never mind. This is probably going to fall under "dumbing down EVE" header for most people, and I don't need any more hate mail. Disregard please.

While not trying to sound like an ass, didn't you guys REALISE that a large number of players wouldn't want 5 acres of text every second they want to activate a module? I mean, surely one of you must have come up with a "wait, shouldn't we make this optional? Some people might not need it or due to their UI setup might actually be hindered by it. Perhaps a yes/no option or a way to disable the icons so it's text only or perhaps put in a delay (which can be selected by the player)".

Didn't anyone pull you back into the reality that not everyone needs to have basic info spoonfed, shouted at them through a megaphone?

let us set the delay ourselves and everyone will be happy. those who want to turn them off can just enter a delay of 60 seconds and that should do it ;-) and those who like the instant info can just keep the 0 seconds delay it currently is

Good point about the tooltip not showing alpha. Knowing the cycle time would be useful as well.

A new version of my proposed "condensed" tooltip:

Damage: xxxxx.x || DPS: 308.6

here is mine:

this tooltip assumes that new players don;'t know what they fit on their ships. That is pretty offensive, imho.

And why the icons ??


The tooltip assumes that sometimes you might eg fit three active shield hardeners and not remember which one you happened to put in which HUD slot Smile



And we disable this how?

Or did you ASSume we are all assholes and all want this ****?

So missing, alpha, cycle time, telling us "hey ******, this is a X gun and you have Y number of ammo loaded"

PLEASE give us an option to disable these mouseover boxes for modules.

They're annoying as hell. I can see they might be useful to somebody new, but I don't want to see them.

Or a several second delay as somebody else said. E.G., three seconds with your mouse over the module icon triggers the mouseover box.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

(as Soundwave says, we might end up going just with a delay, we'll see tomorrow if we feel we need both)

What about repair amount? ehp in lowest resist armor per second would be nice. same for shield boost in lowest shield resist

while (CurrentSelectedTarget.Status == ShipStatus.Alive) {

     _myShip.FireAllGuns(CurrentSelectedTarget);

}
