EVE General Discussion

Also, a way of seeing the size of the ships relative to a person would be cool. You don't always realise just how big these ships are sometimes.

Low sec:
Privateer tickets from different states (could be extended to pirate factions) allowing you to be 'blue' to state or pirate factions and can NBSI as a result for low sec

Am not into industry much but some ideas:
Moving ships and melting them is more effective than moving the raw materials, doesnt quite add up
Freighter (and JF's) can't move packed containers, why not?
Containers that you can put rigged ships into so they can be put into freighters
Moving firms - stuff scattered everywhere, be nice to pay some movers to help stack it (yes I know about courier contracts)
T3 industrial - add on components like containers for moving, mining complexes or even some PI modules

PVP:
ship tactics: formation skills which when a FC warps a fleet the ships arrive in set formations.... (snipers up back, logi's 20km back from fleet centre, tacklers up front...), using a number of formation options....
better fleet interaction window, can move (drag and drop) people into wing/squadron slots, assign roles
Defence perimeters - planetary defence stations (with guns and drones only for ship v ship and maybe marines for Dust514)

Corps:
Shares and stock options, open up a stock exchange?

Walking in stations:
a 'home base' that you can customise, if in a null sec station it can be lost....

Bounties:
Alliance and corp mates cant get the bounty for podding your mates, make it easier to hut people down as well (locater agents need more press and support)

Dreaming:
Planets are fully manageable, run industry (R&D versus commodities for the populace versus infratsructure versus exlpoitation, taxation...SIM planet?), set the politcal system, (like the old masters of orion) have an alliance setting... alliance setting is like the keys to the gates of the city, but in this case the planet... sovereinty based on planet alliances, one player per planet, so now you need many people on board to manage large systems.... (more like medieval fiefdoms with the king trying to herd cats)

1. Extend war-related cooldown timers from 24h to 48h (bandage till war decs get looked at)

2. Mechanism to publicize your Player Owned Customs Office tax-rate, preferably that can be seen when they mouse over the CO's icon in space (way to attract PI players to your planet if you allow public access)

3. Assault Frigate 4th bonus (still waiting on that)

4. Electronic attack ship buff and balance, lower sig + greater speed, some need fitting (sentinel), lock range (kitsune locks lower than a merlin), capacitor (keres, kitsune, maybe sentinel) adjusted

5. Black Ops: improved HP/resists, relook at the bonuses for certain ships (Sin, Panther come to mind), fuel use (not just the size of the bay but how much fuel ships burn as they go through. It's not only too bulky but too costly), CONSIDER moving to a common fuel source to put ships through the bridge (liquid ozone, heavy water, etc) instead of racial isotopes to make fuel logistics easier

6. Help the drone bay remember if it was expanded or not. Having to reopen it constantly is a tiny thing but can get aggravating.

Quick fix:
In science and industry, on the joblisting, when I have it on "any active state" ordered by completion time ascending, if I switch filter to "delivered", the completiontime is in reverseorder to what I had before.
Minor issue, but quite irritatating. Should be a quick fix :)

Contact watchlist popup improvement. When small pic of the user is shown when he gets online, show labels that are assigned to that user.

Make carrier ship cargoholds 2.5m ³ in size insteaf of 1m m³

Carriers are mostly used to move into battle zones.

But they are too small for battleships or battlecruisers.

One machariel will fill more than the half of a carrier.

MAKE CARRIER CARGOHOLDS BIGGER SO WE CAN BATTLE MORE

Really bugged me from day one and still does. You can actually see them pass between the ship and the camera...

When the fleet order system is used, it puts a little crosshair over the target for things like 'warp to' and 'target' etc. Currently, the box around a target is grey, and the reticule that goes over the top is also grey. Could you change the reticules so that they are bright green or some other high-visibility colour? You could possibly even animate them a little just to help people spot them easier.

The directional scanner really needs some love too.

• Could a transparent circle be superimposed over the view to denote what area of space is actually being scanned at the time? Obviously this should only appear if the scanned area is smaller than the total size of the screen.
• The little lever to denote the scan angle gets incrementally smaller as you move towards 5 degrees, for no practical reason. It gets really fiddly to adjust it at that point, so could this be changed to something where you can easily select the scan angle?

I could post dozens here, but these popped into my head first and I'm sure others will cover a lot of little things

P.S. I know it's not a little thing, but BlackOps ships should totally be changed into anti-capital battleship-sized stealth bombers, armed with citadel torps; they would rock

First of all, he was right. I did not think my example through and he fixed it.

Second. He was right to read the intent of the "little thing" suggestion instead of being **** over my lapse.

Third. I wasn't around then but I now know that at some point, someone went to the trouble of changing the cue. Perhaps they wanted it to be more usable?

Fourth. It is not a complaint. I actually don't care if it's changed. In a way it's like a mini-game to root through my skills finding the ones with 3% trained. I am being sincere. There are much bigger fish to fry in Eve. (Remember - "little things")

Fifth. If I could drop Gallente Carrier I in the cue then I could also drop GC II and GC III which is not negligible. Even at worst.

Sixth. Even though I might only be one hour late to work if I wait to put a skill in the cue in Eve, I do not consider it "reasonable". Nor would my clients. (I do, of course, dare to speak on their behalf.)

Seventh. Far too much space in this thread has been devoted to such a small idea. Sheesh...

- A warning message when you undock with an non up to date medical clone, an alternative to this is to open the medical upgrade windows as soon as you spawn in your new clone

- Colors is the overview, we need more color on it, for example color station where you have asset in it, color them when you have mission to turn in, color them when you don't have docking right on it (IIRC station are not colored by blue/red tags by corp owning them)

- to fix bounties: to prevent a character to pod himself with alt/friend, give them huge penality, i was thinking loose of skill point just like been poped without clone (maybe revoke med clone once they have low status then they need to make med clone in pirate owned station ?) To prevent abuse of this, one can only put bounty on someone when he have kill right on it. I may agree this will change a lot on suicide killing and pvp in low sec, but either you make it working or just remove it because at this time this is just not working at all.
