  • Suggestion: Make the 'alt+b' shortcut toggle the in-game web browser instead of simply opening it.
  • Keywords: Shortcuts, Web browser, UI
  • Note: NA

---

I use the in game browser constantly for things like Dotlan maps, Siggy, wormhol.es and I usually have multiple tabs set up just the way I like when I play. So it really pisses me off when in the spur of the moment I click on the close button instead of the minimize one and loose all my tabs and intel.
I'd really like to be able to minimize it (not close, minimize) with the same shortcut that I used to open it. It's already the case with a lot of other windows and shortcuts ('atl+w', 'alt+a', 'alt+r', 'alt+i' etc...) so I don't understand why it can't be the same with the browser.

suggestion: add vertical tactical overlay view that crosses the current and rotates with camera
keywords: ui, pvp, fleet, solo
note: this is what the tactical overlay was meant to do

i use the tactical overlay all the time, and it is terrible at anything that is very far off the horizontal plane you are on. if it had another plane on the vertical that rotated with the camera, as in always facing you, it would suddenly be usable at any angle.

Suggestion: allow module activation to break gate cloak
Keywords: ui, navigation
Notes: currently only movement commands break cloak

This would also allow blockade runners and other cloaking ships to go from game-enforced gate cloak to ship-cloak, without need for rng+lag games. As a "side" effect this would allow them to finally function properly as designed (vs. over-sebo-ed gate camps).

Suggestion: add an option to have the quickbar and browse left-panel tabs to highlight items that your character has existing orders for
Keywords: UI, market, highlight, orders
Notes: currently you can only filter browse for available items, by skills, etc., quickbar not at all. The 2 My Orders tabs are slower to use and don't allow grouping of items.

- - - - -

Different colours could be used if you have a buy order/sell order/both. A further option would be to filter down to only those items that you have orders for, not just highlights.

This would be useful for station traders as well as anyone else with large numbers of orders. Especially for items with a lot of orders where you need to scroll to see if you have an order that's just "fallen off the front page" or for players with varying stock, as clicking through and checking market orders directly from the market window (details-market data view on the right, not my orders and doubleclicking, then clicking back to My orders...) is generally faster than double-clicking in wallet-orders. Also, neither window that displays your orders directly allows for grouping, unlike the quickbar (player-customized grouping) and the browse view (static grouping by market group).

Suggestion: In the "My contracts" menu add "All" as an option for the "status"
Keywords: menu, contracts
Note: It makes it a lot less tedious to keep track of your dozens of contracs.

In contract window when entering who to make contract to you can select partial or exact search.
It would be very nice if that choice could be remembered. So if I always want exact match (maybe because I always choose from history) I don't have to always select it.

Ctrl + W closes a lot of types of windows. It's a pretty good feature. One thing it does, though, is it closes some types of chat channels amd it closes them even if they're stacked with channels like the corp channel or local channel (channels that Ctrl + W won't close). What happens then is that the tabs for some types of chat channels are closed, but others aren't affected by it.

Sometimes, when there are a lot of windows open, it's nice to just hammer Ctrl + W until they're all gone. If you're not careful, though, you'll also close most of your chats. That just doesn't seem optimal.

It would be nice if Ctrl + W wouldn't close chat channels at all. Or, atlernatively, maybe it could be set to ignore player channels that are stacked with system channels? I'm not sure how it affects conversation windows, since I make sure to never hit ctrl + w when one of those is open. Ever. The best thing, though, imo, would be if Ctrl + W had no affect on chat windows at all. It's not like we open dozens of those at a time or anything, anyway, so it's typically not that laborious a process to maunally close the ones you don't want.

There is also something odd that goes on with the focus when using Ctrl + W to close windows. Sometimes you have to click on the next window you want to close before Ctrl + W will work, other times you can just spam Ctrl + W and it closes one thing after the next, continuously.

How about an option for players to set their corp titles to public or private (as far as display in the character's show info window goes) similar to the decorations settings?

Even better, there could be three states. 1) Public 2) Visible to corp/alliance members only or 3) Private.

It might be interesting to have those three settings for decorations, too, but for titles it would really be nice.

Suggestion: An option to disable wallet blink when buying items, as well as when donating to another player.
Keywords: ui, wallet
Notes: When I buy something, or otherwise move money out of my wallet, I don't need the game telling me that my balance has changed.

Suggestion: Remember position of "input" windows
Keywords: ui
Notes: When for example dividing stack, or selecting type of silos, the windows are always in the center of the screen. I would like it to remember its position when I drag it somewhere else.

  • Suggestion: Allow Battlecruisers to enter Medium FW plexes.
  • Keywords: Battlecruisers, Faction Warfare, Balance
  • Note: An issue with using Battlecruisers in solo/small gang roaming in low-sec is you can't enter plexes, thus don't get many fights.

    Suggestion courtesy /u/Dei-Ex-Machina on Reddit, from this thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2vv78t/suggestion_battlecruisers_in_gated_fw_complexes/

    So, one of the biggest advantages Cruisers have over Battlecruisers when roaming in low-sec is that they have gated FW plexes. Grabbing anything larger means you'll miss out on any fights from anyone using these plexes and wont be able to use them yourself.

    Suggestion: Remove the "ISK" word from the numerical columns in the wallet.
    Keywords: UI, Quality of Life, Wallet, Journal
    Note: The word "ISK" is in four columns in the wallet that are numerical data: Price, Amount, Credit, and Balance. This makes it so that the columns, when copied from the journal into a spreadsheet, require a bit of extra work to be made into numerical data. Removing "ISK" from these columns would allow the data to be pasted into spreadsheets without further steps to make it numerical.

    Suggestion: Contract out of containers from anywhere
    Keywords: UI, QOL, As_seen_on_Reddit
    Note: Not my idea, but dang if it doesn't need to happen!! Boon for people wanting to help other corp mates, and for that matter, anyone else in EVE, but have so much to give from that just leaving it all lying around on the hanger floor is simply not practical. This needs to work for personal and corp hangers.

    Suggestion: Minor ship-fitting window rework
    Keywords: UI, fitting, resize
    Note: Add the ability to minimize the *ship side* of the fitting window, so the real-time stats can be utilized without having the massive window open when undocked. Additionally, being able to pin & resize this half of the window would be a welcome addition.

    SUGGESTION: Monument or Debris Field for Vak'Atioth

    KEYWORDS: Atioth, Vak'Atioth, Jove, Jovian, Amarr, debris, monument

    NOTE: this was an important event that remains strangely undocumented- though it was a long time ago, it would be nice for there to be a monument to it Smile

    Suggestion: Ability to backup keybindings to a file and reload bindings from a file.
    Keywords: Keybindings, Keys, UI
    Note: Much like overviews, Keybinds often get reset when the game gets corrupted, or on a new install. I have mine setup a certain way and it's a large hassle to rebind it every time. Bonus points as well if it remembers UI elements like the target anchor.

    Suggestion: Add option to disable auto-scroll in inventory division panel.
    Keywords: UI, Inventory
    Note: I keep dropping items in the wrong container because the view scrolls at the last moment. This is really annoying but also unnecessary, because I can already use the mouse wheel to scroll

    You need to add a way for us to see the refinery rate of a station without having to have something to reprocess.

    This is especially frustrating in the middle of nullsec where i don't know how they have upgraded the station that I am in.

    • Suggestion: Bring back LOG OUT and make it a different option to QUIT.
    • Keywords: log out, quit, character selection,
    • Note: Quick selection between characters

    ---

    Very simple. If you 'log out' of an account on your PC, you are taken back to the screen with the different accounts for the PC right? It would be nice if there were a Log Out button on the ESC menu which took you back to the character selection screen.

    Peace!
