For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

It is a good idea - but how to represent it? personally, I'd like to see the module red (as it is when being deactivated), and the cycle bar ticking down from full to empty. When empty, it goes back to white, and awaits reactivation. This method, at least, would not require new graphics resources.

Or simple timer that will show up when you hover over the module.

personally - I'd like to see the module green on the windup - then red on the wind-down - so MJD's have a green cycle, then a red cycle, then are available for use again..... (I appreciate this may not be valid for all)
failing that - green on the wind-up, then a time to next use in the 'hover-over' info

Your proposed fix is a remedie of the symtom of the real problem... the real problems are the blobs... and thats the symtome of the poor sov mechanics

I totally agree.
Still adding timers to modules are much simpler than fixing something that player base is asking for years.
Implementing pure client side calculation that is capable of managing constant changes of TIDI is quite simple.

Just calculate how many server ticks is needed for one TIDI Tick.
When they pass reduce timer by 2 s.

Shameless advertisement of yet another idea topic for the same subject to show support: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=285682&find=unread

This is definitely a must have for very near future patch!

Edit: Link finally fixed. Damn it CCP, get the text editor for mobiles working! Evil

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

It would be enough to have the same red circle around the module icon like it is currently for mods which are deactivated!

simple idea for a solution, when you select to reload the radial progress runs anti-clockwise instead until the reload is complete. Same mechanism could be used for re-activation timers on other mods to save coding effort
