Greetings, CCP Dolan here to bring you a new initiative from my favorite Internet Spaceship Council, the 8th Council of Stellar Management. Please be aware that this feedback thread is integral to their "Reasonable Thing" project, and as such I will be moderating it accordingly.

The CSM and CCP are excited to hear the community's ideas and feedback and look forward to the results of this awesome crowdsourcing project. You can find a link to the CSM Guest Blog here.

Keywords: UI,Map

Keywords: UI,Map

Suggestion: Change the system colors of adjacent regions in the 'Region' filter so you can actually tell the difference between some regions.
Keywords: UI,Map

Suggestion: Place systems/lines in the foreground of large labels like the region names instead of covering up some systems completely.
Keywords: UI,Map

Suggestion: Enlarge the labels for constellations.
Keywords: UI,Map

Suggestion: Enlarge and differentiate landmark name labels from solar system name labels.
Keywords: UI,Map

Suggestion: If a buy order is placed above a matching sell order within range, the transaction should pay at the sell order price automatically.
Keywords: Market

Suggestion: Improve the order placing mechanics so you can put multiple quantities of an item in one buy/sell order without having to stack the items together first.
Keywords: UI,Market

Suggestion: Remove the "Regional Average" statistic and replace it with a "Universal Average" based on the new price keeping system.

Suggestion: If you hover your mouse over an item in the browser/market data/groups/etc, display the universal price.

Keywords: UI

And a couple of mine:

Suggestion: Improve right-click menus by implementing the Amazon Menu Hack
Keywords: UI, menus
Note: See http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-dropdown for a complete explanation of this improvement. Navigating multilevel right-click menus is a pain in the butt, but this cute hack that Amazon uses makes them much easier to use. If this could be implemented, it would improve every right-click menu in the game.

Suggestion: Every list in the game should have a filter box.
Keywords: UI
Note: Local, Overview, Guests in Station, etc, etc, etc... if it's a list, make it filterable.

Suggestion: Rework the jumpclone UI.
Keywords: UI
Notes: I _HATE_ to use the current one. You need to stop your skills, you need to get out of your ship, you need to double check of there are two clone on the current station etc. It also could be a good idea to combine the Jumpclone UI in a smart way with Implants UI.

Why is it even possible to jump and distroy a clone? It should not be possible, there is a delete button for that.

Suggestion: Fix / remove goddamn dust clouds from all deadspace dungeons.

Note: "It would take a single programmer about 1 afternoon to remove them/It would take a single programmer probably more than 6 months to fix them" @CCP Zorba. Players waiting for this fix for 1.5+ years.

Suggestion: Improve PI processor management and routing with bulk commands.
Keywords: planetary interaction
Note: If I have several processors on a planet, let me shift-click select them to set up the recipe I want for all of them at the same time.

Based on what I've seen from configurations, it's very rare that once a route is set up, that it needs to be changed. In addtion to routing specific resources, let me select storage for input and storage for output, and have the processor just take whatever recipe I've decided on, if I don't care. Yes, it makes things easier to manage and quicker to react, but it greatly reduces the tediousness.

Suggestion: Some kind of anti-cloak probe/module/POS device/sov structure/?????
Keywords: Cloak, Balance
Notes: This has been going on for so long it's a dead horse that's beaten way beyond anything even remotely resembling what might have been considered a living organism, but the fact remains that cloaks are one of the only modules that don't have a counter beyond getting lucky.

Suggestion: Allow copying of all client settings (overview, window positions, chats open, etc) across characters and accounts, preferably storing things server side (but client side would be ok).
Keywords: UI, client, settings
Note: players currently use a third-party utility to do this, here is a (slightly outdated) public thread -- http://forums.ponywaffe.org/topic/4701-garpa-uniform-interface-copy-overview-etc-settings-to-every-char/ -- also I brought up this issue at fanfest and was told a dev would look into it (see Q&A video for "Improving the Player Experience" session).
