Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A Drone UI tweak.

When I drag a drone group to someone in my watch-list they should assist that person. You can leave other actions into that right click menu (or allow configuring what is the default drag action through the right click menu).

Logistic drones dragged into someone in watch list should go out and try to repair it instead of assisting.

Fighters should be assigned by default.

Don't know if this has been suggested before or not, Make the Trade window remember where its moved to like all the other windows.

The autopilot route system is nice, but a few tweaks would increase its usefulness.

I'd like to see the Autopilot accept a destination as a final waypoint, so that when you Optimize Route, it stays as the last waypoint.

Useful for traders, collecting datacores from research agents, setting up roams, and I'm sure other uses as well.

The optimize route feature is much less useful when your final destination is closer than your midway points (i.e., the system you are currently in), or lies between them.

Also on the topic of autopilot routing, with multiple waypoints that share a path/cross paths, it would be nice if you could determine which was the next system in the Overview. The highlighted icon is helpful if you aren't crossing your own path, but is less useful if you have 2 or more exits highlighted on a longer route. Yes, the next one is highlighted after jumping or undocking, and they are always in the autopilot info panel, but that is (by default) on the opposite side of the screen.

Another nice add on would be the ability to avoid empires instead of listing individual systems. If I am shoot-on-site in Caldari space (such as, a Gallente FW pilot), I have to look at each system in my route to make sure that I'm going to live through the trip. Or risk the surprise (even if not autopiloting) of finding myself under attack by the navy when I am only going through their space.

And finally on the Autopilot route, it might be interesting to be able to share a route (waypoint list) within a fleet. For instance, scouts would know the next system on a roam, stragglers would be able to catch up without a constant banter of "we're in Fliet, now we're in OMS, you're so slow we're already in Hevrice". My suggestion would be the route of one fleet member would be shareable, and the option could be toggled on or off. Probably easiest if that role was attached the Boss or the top person in the fleet hierarchy (Squadron/Wing/Fleet Commander).

Suggestion : Improve Ingame Browser

Suggestion, maybe off topic, there is a problem when you have to boost a fleet mate, scan res for ex., but when the red target come and the boost open fire he shoot the mate taking scan res bonus, lol. If you can fix that "friendly fire issue" in any way i will love you more and more.

Suggestion: A timer for gatecloak at top left

Keywords: ui, timer

Note: It would be nice to have a timer which showed how much time we had left before losing the gate cloak.

moderate or managing panel in corp mail like every else mailing list in game.

Suggestion

Why doesn't the Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU) have a "Loot All" button?

Cheers

Suggestion: highlight what I have selected on the small icons at the edge of the screen when it is outside the screen.

Keyword; ui, space awareness.

BNote; I did some moon scanning the other day, and just finding the moon can be cumbersome, when it's actually hard just to locate it because of all the different directions it can be in. Have the small icons be highlighted Clearly, so you know in what way you need to look

Suggestion: fit/unfit weapon groups in 1 click

Keywords: fitting screen, weapon groups, fit, unfit

Note: fitting and unfitting full racks of weapons is generally a tedious work. When fitting, you have to drag and drop (or right click -> fit, which by the way you can't do with Mobile Depots) several times, while just selecting all the weapons (or the stack of them) and drag/rightclick-fit them at once would be much easier. When unfitting, the popup "you'll have to clear the group" simply likes to appear randomly: sometimes accepting it once ungroups everthing, sometimes it doesn't and you have to accpet the popup a max of 8 times (!) or even offline one of them and unfit one of the online ones (2 popups).

Oh, and todayI just discovered that unloading ammo to cargo while weapon modules are deactivating (blinking red) makes them reload automatically when they finish their last cycle! I guess that wasn't intended... had it with artilleries, don't want to know what it feels like with rapid launchers...
