Totally awesome ppl - you have done us proud

I would have a favor to ask though, could you take a look at the possibility of assembling and fitting ships (already owned and in hanger) with mods and charges (also in hanger) via the saved fitting screen.

Here is how I think it could work:
FC want all his ppl in Rokhs with T2 Smartbombs and hull buff tanking for this special mission. He sends out the fitting and tells ppl to turn up in that. Fleet member who has just got in from work (done his honey-do list) and can spend some relax time pew-pewing wants to jointhe fleet thats leaving in 10min.

Not a prob, as the saved fitting sent out by the FC has a "compile ship" button and the ship and mods are magically slung together and he is ready for the fray, complete with the charges loaded.

Sounds to me like this is what they would do in the future - and so what I would like to know is how hard would that be to put together

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Wait..

You had 3 weeks to 'help out'' and managed to add more usable features than the whole of ccp could do in 3 years?

Impressive..

Holy crap, that's a fantastic list of changes your bringing to us guys !

Make a PLEX marathon funding for team papercuts, so that they stay working on EvE for longer ! I will happily donate my 380 millions ISK (or so) to help them keep providing good stuff :D

It should have been made before, maybe, but it's getting there and that's what counts !!!

Thanks for your hard work guys !

hard to put into words how great these little improvements are

a 'loot all' button? no more click-ctrl-a-drag during those epic lvl4 salvage operations, yaaay!

and anything that adds functionality to the tac overlay is f-kin beautiful!

thanks again!

With the new jump bridge maps in the Galaxy map all we need is 2 things now.

Autopilot Route to use jump bridge systems for shortcuts

and

No need for exact location of jump bridges to be shown in map, if after corp shared bookmarks alliance shared bookmarks are implemented an alliance could share JB bookmarks and keep them updated in game more effectively.

This combo would be amazing!

CCP Anthelios: I love you.

Being able to have "reppies" and "shooties" separated while preforming logistic duties is absolutely amazing. Now, I won't show up on a blue's death-mail when I accidentally send my light drones on him in my Guardian. Yes, I carry attack drones on my logi. Twisted

Thanks!

Though, is there any way we could get pan-to-target back as something that a person might do on purpose?

I used that "feature" and the only problem I had with it was that it didn't work all the time. Never could figure out what exactly triggered it (besides howering the mouse over the target as that alone obviously wasn't enough).

The good news: There are still employees at the Atlanta office (maybe we could get CCP Guard down there to film on-location one of these days!)

The bad news: Well, there is no bad news. Just lots more good news (my salvager is in love with the "loot all the things" button).

Until the POCO mess gets straightened out, I'll reserve that kind of praise for the expansion. As for this block of changes - best thing to happen to eve since the introduction of... damn it... There is no new feature that stacks up to how happy this makes the entire eve populace.

Lots of fantastic useability features.

Do NOT give that list back to BFF! Keep on chipping away at it.

I would love to see you guys doing periodic releases of PaperCut fixes. Lets say every 2 months or so.

I'm absolutely baffled by how much work was done in only 3 weeks.
At this rate, EVE could be exponentially better in just a few months.

This might be the first dev blog comment thread I've ever read that did not contain a single whine or troll.

There is much positive Chi here. Color me suitably impressed with all these little things. The final patch notes are going to take hours to read.
