Going by the screenshot, it looks like the visual difference between a scram and disruptor isn't as significant as say, afterburners and mwd's when that little change took place.

Looks good.

Any chance you could give us the "center camera" checkbox in the d-scan window back in Kronos ? I really miss that checkbox. Shocked

Another thing:

Drag&Drop items from one channel to another in the same chat window. At the moment, my way to do this is to drop it into the textbox of another chatwindow, change the channel in the first window and then drag&drop it from that "clipboard".

But what if hovering the cursor with an attached dragged item over a channeltab causes the chatwindow to jump to said channel? So you would grab the item from the first channel, hover the cursor over the tab where you'd like to go *channel switches* and drop it in there like always.

Really awesome stuff! Is it possible to get a reload timer for the micro jump drive, too? =)

Reload timers, when you're in tidi, are so important Smile



Now we can watch the reload timer not cycle right in massive tidi like guns/reps. :D

I actually try to do this all the time but it never works :)

oh nom nom nom! Survey scanner icons! One step closer to improved UI for miners (now all that is left is actually being able to use the survey scanner to get detailed info about the roids you have locked too - eg amount left).

And still waiting for the chat invite windows to show if it's a channel invite or pilot invite...

I think I look forward to little things almost as much (if not more than) the huge features during each expansion. Well done CCP!

As specified, nothing earth shattering, but each of them make New Eden a better place.

Good stuff

Why not center your camera with the existing camera tracking widget?

Should change the blue on the icon to red for the scrambler.

might be nice as an anti MJD indicator

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

3> you Karkur. I think it would be better if survey scanner was 'real time' though rather than having to click it that way you could make the lock on icons react better. It will still be confusing having delayed lock icons on rocks that dont exist

As others have stated, please, pretty please add a cool down timer to the MJD at least. It's a pain in the ass not knowing exactly how much time you have left before you can activate it again.

In my opinion it's distinguishable enough, and you need to hover your mouse over it anyways to see who's scrambling or disrupting you.

In any case, very nice changes with the little things. Sadly, still no MJD timer. Straight

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Thanks for highlighted alerts in broadcast history window! \o/

It took just 1.5 years of me asking for it in every thread =)

Info Window Cleanup

In recent releases we have been cleaning up the Show Info windows little by little. In the Rubicon expansion we grouped the four damage resistance attributes for shield, armor and structure (hull) for ships and drones, giving you a cleaner and more consistent view of them. In the Kronos release we continue with that work, and now we group the damage types, sensor strengths, as well as other resistance attributes for all items, making them easier to read and reducing the clutter in the Show Info window.


Just a small thing to show info window, if you look at damage controls. it has positive values. If you look at Hardeners / plates / amplifiers they have negative values... can we get that all positive or negative? Or does that link to whether it has stacking penalties or not?

when can we have drone control range put in the attributes tab????????????

We have discussed it a little bit, so hopefully we can change it one day.
