Fix overview states

Please consider fixing the states logic governing the overview and make standings a lower priority than the other states. Why?

Because as it is, I can not set up an overview that shows me only, say, people whom I can legally shoot in empire.

In this case, I would like to be able to tick just WT's, criminals, suspects and security statuses of -5 and have only those show. But that can not be done because I have to indicate standings too for anything to show up. But I have typically not set standings to random -5s or suspects or what have you. And as soon as I tick for instance [Pilot has no standing] practically the whole grid shows up on that criterium alone and the filter is in fact useless.

The current logic makes sense only if you update standings even on chance encounters in Concorde territory. Which of course is not practical at all.

Please look into this, CCP.

I have this to say.

In regards to halfwits in game and other threads claiming you can have JUST (fleet members) on your overveiw:

Try it if you like, if you can get ONLY fleet members on the overview tab, no matter what their relation to you (standings/corp/alliance/war state/sec status/supsect/limited engagement) I will be more than happy to buy those overview settings off you. Unless you've attempted it yourself, bugger off with your input.

Here is an example:

(Ships are the only selected types) http://i.imgur.com/2Al1u6C.png "Suspect" is clicked, but he's not showing on the overview. You must also have his matching sec clicked, and his standing. BUT, doing that shows everyone else with that standing and sec. The overview is backwards, and it should be a higher priority to fix.

You can only choose what you do not want shown, not what you want shown. It would be nice to get a clear answer from ccp, as the overview is one of the most important interfaced in most pilots' eve career, and it needs a major fixing.
