EVE General Discussion

Camera view options:

1. I like the idea of first person in my ship, but would also be cool to have a clickable option to have the camera always face forward while in space.

2. Also, I generally don't mind the over the shoulder camera view as my avatar, but zooming all the way in for first person would be sweet as well.
- More vanity options: Let me zoom in on my character for some sexy screenshots!

Make smartbombs a little more than an afterthought. Right now there's nothing in game to improve smartbombs than a duration implant which is quiet pointless in current situation.

Simple changes which require no new design. Throw in some other smartbomb implant flavours, like damage and/or range. A smartbomb related rig that does.... something, would be nice. Simple skill that increases range or damage? All other weapon systems have such things.

Slider would be indeed dumb, just lose the kilometers from the input box and make it in AU, there's no real reason you would need kilometers there for anything that you couldn't input in AU as well - and it saves you converting units all the time.

Visible ring... We already know roughly where the scan angle ends anyway even without it, this wouldn't really change anything that much.

boost black ops this ship is 2y fail

Shopping list

List of items and their amounts which could be used to place buy orders or, with approval, bought directly from market. List could be created from blueprints, ship fits or just by adding items to it (drag'n'drop). Lists could be shared in corporation, mailed or used in creation of buy contracts. Most importantly, just as easily as you can add items to a list, you could subtract item amounts by selecting items from search result or hangar contents (eg. right click on multiple selected items and 'Subtract from active list').

For example you're building a pile of Dongles and you have some of the materials already available in your manufacturing system. First you could create a shopping list from the Dongle Blueprint I, add a multiplier N and then subtract items you already have. And as you're busy adoring your new boots in CQ, you just send the shopping list to a corpmate, who is on his way to a market hub.

More incursion centric (which probably needs its own little thread, but what the heck).

* local incursion chat window positioning is remembered. Currently, you need to adjust positioning every time you encounter a new incursion (even when it's the same constellation a few weeks back).
* public incursion BBS service that displays and list available pilots & ships in the constellation. Players may list themselves to show that they're ready, making recruting easier and less tedious.
* ability for FC, WC and SL to check out individual fleet member fittings of the current ship they're flying.
* improved broadcast options - No rep required (or anything equivalent) .... better yet, needs a minor revamp to allow for player customizations.
* better tag options - make it less clunkier
* loot log for fleet members turning wreck blues
* fleet damage logs (if technically possible) - shows the total dmg dealt by each member after a Concord payout
* Concord LP conversion UI - notice you can't delete all numbers?
* Secondary watchlist (if technically feasible) EXCLUSIVELY for logi ships. This shortens fleet logi org time, makes logi ops simpler and improves logi visibility.

General.

* redo the standings lists front-end.
I don't want to have to manually input baziliions unique contacts, corps and alliances ..... and then manually delete them. [insert your favourite swear words]
This is one of the things which will improve the quality of game experience, which should synergize well with the POCO intro - FIND an easy way to manage that!!
One example, remove/subscribe and apply standings via a single master list - which can be imported/exported or exchanged freely.

so true! most of my scanning time when dcanning in combat is done at sub 1au ranges. Yes ranges over 1au are used to initiallty pinpoint if someone is at a group of celestials or in a midwarp safe but even so, DO NOT change it to linear increments it'll just destroy people who rely on dscaning in combat.

plus wtf is up with people scared and confused bout AU's to km's? yahh 1 AU is exactly 149 598 000km but jesus, if ur adding up multiple UA's then just use an approximation!

150 million km for example.. then all u have to do is add up 150's or even 15's. not exactly rocket science!

Make smartbombs look like there's actually exploding something.

Like in this, my favourite, video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlZ0EcsneSg

They probably are using some really expensive smartbombs,
but there's no reason the other smartbombs shouldn't look as good.

Less.Right.Clicking.

There are so many places where unnecessary right clicking is used (like when selecting an agent).

With touch screens becoming more and more common it would be nice to see better interfaces with less needless right clicking to help facilitate some new technology on the user end.

Either that or an alternate touchscreen layout that can be toggled.

This way I can pretend I'm a helmsman straight out of Star Trek! ;p

There's a big reason why it's not AU,
simply because sometimes you have to measure in kilometers.

Stuff below one AU distance gets shown in kilometers on the overview too
and if there's something on the next grid only a few hundred kilometers away,
with AU you would have to enter 0.000xxx AU ... which just isn't feasible.
