EVE General Discussion

Nah, nothing for constellation dude.

We can't mute ppl on eve voice in player chanels

The player ship icons could use some love. At the moment they are just a box that tells you that the ship belongs to a player. Of course there are minor differences, but it's literally a matter of a few pixels.

The space could be used more efficiently with tactical icons for ship classes in the style of Homeworld or Supreme Commander. This way you could easily see the ship types and free some room from the ship type column in the overview.

tech II cyno mod... lasts 5 min and 2.5 min on a recon...

you need cyno theory V to use it...

The ability to recover toons that got deleted,
for a charge of like ... 50 bucks. :)

That's pretty expensive, but it's absolutely fair considering the fact
that the toon got deleted on purpose. :)

I would still like to be able to see the fleet bonuses being received. It would be nice to be able at the very least see the bonuses in the tooltip.

Also, the compare tool needs to be improved and made more readily accessible. If we could open the tool, and drag modules from the ship, hanger, market, etc to compare it would be great. Right now its hidden and difficult to use.

I believe InterBus still needs a LP store, please correct me if I am wrong, have not looked lately.

Things I’d love to see in EVE.

Keep making it easier to play, without making it tactically or strategically less complex.
Keep making the windows function like they should from 5-10 years ago.
Make it easier to find things, add drop down lists, let me sort with more options, etc.
Make drones easier to use, make the drone box more functional.
Try to eliminate right clicks, especially with functions I would need to do quickly in a combat situation.
Make the UI easier to use, especially the HUD in combat, specifically the Heat stuff.
UI better, then better again.
Give some love to CEO’s and Directors, fix corp tab, well almost everything.
Balance Faction Warfare, check back in 2 months rebalance, repeat as necessary until tactics, effort, and strategy are what are determining the outcome, not who is best at exploiting the game in unintended ways.
4th Assault frigate bonus
Smuggling
Bounty Hunting
Texas Hold’em poker in Incarna
2 ways to mine, the current chat friendly way, and another more active way.
Always have a way for an independent pilot to harvest all their own materials, such as a ship or module that could ninja mine a moon.
T3 Battleship, T3 frigate, T3 modules take your time though.
Have all highslot modules that have an effect, especially missile launchers have a “turret”
Go back over the last 5 + years and just put in good versions of the features you wanted to but had to cut. But only after the game is balanced and working.
Cheaper T2 rigs
More destroyer love, as in tier 2 destroyer.
Custom ship skins
Fleet formations
Sort the show info windows so it is easier to compare ships and modules, such as having all the resists given in order, optimal and falloff listed together. Put the info you need in combat at the top.
Boost Lowsec
More Epic Arc missions, or long mission chains, with story. Bonus good voice over for the story so you don’t have to read when shooting pirates.

Custom warp destinations, for some reason the ship won’t go x distance, in xyz direction when I tell it to. This is dumb I should be able to do this. Maybe have some minimum distance this would work for, so we still need a stealth ship, ceptor or good planning to warp on top of a sniping fleet on grid.

Dream stuff:

Give all the various factions at least 3 faction ships a frigate, cruiser, and battleship.
Have all the T1 ships have an Empire Navy faction equivalent. Or at least add another frigate, a destroyer and battlecruiser.
Unnerf the Black Ops and Marauders more, so they are more viable in PvP. Or make a tier 3 tech 2 battleship that is meant for straight up combat with strong T2 resists, fitting and such, without some fatal flaw that smaller T2 combat ships don’t have.
Nerf Projectiles so they are limited to Explosive and Kinetic damage, in line with all other guns. Or rebalance and buff hybrid and energy weapons
Rebalance Amarr ships with laser cap use bonuses to give them actual 2nd bonus, feel free to make them 10-50% more cap stable while you’re at it.
Eventually have some subcap ships with 8 8 8 layouts
Possibly not limit ships to 8 slots
Ship Crews, at least officers. Eventually.
1 to 3 ships for each race that are as good/cool as the Alliance tournament ship, maybe a million or more LP and a really high required standing, not everyone will ever have the chance to fly in the tournament or be able to afford to buy one afterwards, but everyone should be able to work to get a awesome stat ship, and others would be able to make them cry.
Make tracking work right. A ship orbiting a stationary target shouldn’t be suffering for its own movement, we have tech from 30,000 years in the future, and the ship can’t account for its own movement?
Midslot module that does to missiles what a tracking disruptor does to turrets. Or if you love Amarr just add it to the tracking disruptor.

Something I never understood, why did Minmatar develop web bonuses to slow down slow Amarr ships, instead of tracking disruptors to disrupt the most turret heavy race? And why didn’t Amarr develop web bonuses to slow down the fastest ships? That just always seemed backwards.

And a bunch of stuff I can’t even think of and may edit in later.

Bribe Concord? i was thinking something like social V and Fast Talk V with a -10.0 costing a cool billion isk to be set to zero, and make it an adventure in game to bribe concord some how.

I was also thinking of a solution for all these windows.... It is difficult to describe but I will try my best. I was thinking that the chats overview, selected items, fleet, drones, watch-list, scanner, and cargo could originate in a small orb that uses holographic looking method to present all these semi transparent to transparent borders and information, and perhaps turning the long lists of people and objects in a smooth high tech Rolodex kind of fashion. Then upgrade the capacitor to feel more like space ship hub, maybe even modify it to different class ships...no sense in a frigate having the same controls as a carrier or battleship.

Chat Windows -A New Layout Idea

The tabbed window approach works for many windows, however for the chat window it has always seemed rather clunky to me.

I was looking at it and the thought struck me that it might look and operate better if the tabs were arranged vertically down the side as opposed to horizontally across the top.

This would allow the full text for the chat window to be displayed and for the list to grow/shrink as appropriate. Giving the user the ability to expand/shrink the tab section would also be handy so that the user can choose to lose some of the window text in preference to more screen space or vice versa.

It would also be an idea to allow for the shading of the active tab and window to be different (in fact this would be a good idea for ALL tabbed windows) in order to make the focus more prominent. The setting of the active tab colour could be an option available on the same menu as the 'blink' option.
