Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It's quite simplistic to say that desiring this information means you are bad at EVE. This piece of information is perhaps the most crucial when considering the next step in a fight. Having it available at a glance is to the benefit of every pilot.

Can we get some kind of response from a Dev on this one? It is so simple of a change, yet it would have a massive impact on pilot situational awareness.

By never fitting stabs or flying ships with bonuses to warp core strength the E-war panel pretty much already performs this function and is backed up by the overview, so had I ever thought of this I can't imagine actually feeling I would need it. That being said some people fly blockade runners, ventures and whatnot and I can see how something like this could help you so I have no objection to it being included as long as it can be turned off.

For me it is redundant information and my screen has very little real estate left for sale as is so I would find it very distracting if it is actually at all prominent and if it isn't prominent then it would probably be easier to try warping than searching for the green light. This is all without mentioning that it would presumably be lit almost all the time. Think of all the time you are in space, now contrast that with the amount of time you spend actually tackled.

Finally please don't use the words "fight" and "in my warp core stabbed ship" in reference to the same ship. I get what you are wanting here and that's fine but we can make do with actual scenarios, we don't need to make any up. Fighting with WCS is like voluntarily using a slot to sensor dampen yourself in exchange for reducing your ship's CPU output, you are simply not going to do that if you're there to fight. There are three reasons to fit WCS, one is to farm FW plexes without risk of being tackled the second is to get through low sec camps where there are no HICs on the field and the last is to fit to a smartbombing battleship to camp a gate. While I would admonish you to within an inch of your life for the first offense the latter two from time to time can be needed (or at least fun) but again, if you were not going to try to warp away no matter what you would not have filled your lows with WCS.

+1 from me. Anything that gives you easy to view information about what is\isn't happening to your ship without reading or excessive mousing over get's my vote.

For Neuts\Vamps the capacitor could actually flash red to indicate it's happening.

Changes coming in Kronos though so stand by for those or check them out on SiSi.

I was very confused by this idea until i remembered that warp core stabilizers still existed.

The notifier of when you have enough point on you to keep ypu from warping would be feasable, but the notifier on whether or not a bubble has you is not.

The reasoning has been posted before, but I'm too lazy to look it up to link to it. The reasoning is that an active point is just that, an active effect, where a bubble acts as a passive effect. The server makes a single check to see if you're in a bubble when you attempt to initiate warp. Unlike a point, which is an active effect from one ship to one other ship, in order to constantly notify you that you are in the effect radius of a bubble, the server would be forced to run a check every tick, for every ship on the grid, for every grid. You think tidi is bad now?

Yes that's a good idea, you never know for sure when you're out of the bubble.
Most case you need a large view of what appening and where to go, so you cannot have the camera near the ship at the same time.

It's a small and simple change, I don't see how it could hurt. It's true that often you're just flying a hauler and are screwed either way, but there are valid reasons to put WCS on other ships.

Hell , why not.
