So let me get this right. In three weeks your small team made more positive changes than were made in the entire previous expansions ??????

You all might wanna consider retaining bodyguards if you ever attend one of those eve-meet things because the eve basement playerdwellers are gonna want to have your babies.

JESUS H F*CKING CHRIST!

Some of these changes are just amazing. For instance, the bomb explosion in the tactical overlay..are you kidding me!?!?!

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..


Damn. This exactly.

Also, have you ever been flying along, and your camera randomly rotates to something random off in the distance? You probably hovered over a target icon by accident. That feature is gone now. No more random auto-panning to targets.


This is really not good. Maybe I'm the only one... I use this ALL THE TIME. Talk about a huge nurf to the dynamic visuals of combat.


Everything else is stunningly awesome.

I think these are some of my favorite changes coming out this expansion. Great job, dudes!

I can't wait for the next time CCP decides to unchain you from your oars, and let you loose on little things like Gojira trampling Tokyo.

Don't stop now! Keep going!

Just imagine what EVE would be like if you guys had been doing this kind of stuff for every patch.

i have one suggestion for industrial pilots, if you have time. and if not maybe the next expansion

the ability to select more than one print for manufacturing so i can build/invent 10 prints at once to cut down on all the clicking.
that is involved.

just my 2 cents.
keep up the great work




Yes please!!

With the friendly J-Bridges showing on the map now, will auto pilot use the bridges as routes instead of just gates? Maybe make a toggle options "Use friendly bridges" ?

I like making things explode.

CCP, you most likely noticed the large amount of goodwill in this tread. The Team BFF efforts had the same reaction, fixing these little things had a big effect. But Team BFF seemed to get re-focued on bigger stuff, and the papercut fixes got lost, until now.

I think Team Papercuts needs to persist and be a permanent part of the CCP organization. Any Dev can sign up for a 3 week stint in it. They go in, do fixes that can be done in 3 weeks, then go back to their normal team. Make it say a three person team, one of which is replaced each week from the sign-up list. This way we get a continuous stream of these little fixes. After all, they seem to have the biggest impact to the player base.

Very nice changes.

CCP should let you guys out of the WoD cage more often.

Are you guys by any chance the lead programmers in the WoD project?

Awesome... simply wonderful!

CCP, give this team 3 weeks off more often!!

got to ask and i know it is a long shoot but any chance you could add bottons to the fitting screen to open these multiple kinds of bays
i.e 1 for fuel 1 for ore 1 for ship hangar 1 for corp hangar

eve is about sin

With all those stuff coming to an "EVE client near you" with the Winter Expansion (i.e Crucible) I feel compensated for the lack of content of the Summer Expansion (i.e Incarna).

As they say in my country "And the Saint needs bullying" (to perform a miracle, e.g to get things done).

I think there's something to this statement. New features are nice and all, but these kinds of quality of life changes NEED to take precedence. Honestly, what took so long? Continue these kinds of things as major press items and instead of having threadnaughts based on how stupid a particular feature is or how NOT well thought out it is, we can have tons of people complementing developers that responsible for some of the most intuitive changes to date.

Like another poster, I would like to retain the camera panning ability as a part of the advanced camera menu. It shouldn't pan unless you specify that you want the advanced camera options.

Good job Atlanta team. They need more 'side projects' like you to get these kinds of things done. Well done.
