Enhancing the world map

The world map provides those who know how to use it with incredibly valuable information for those who know how to use it. Despite websites like dotlan adding extra functionality and streamlined viewing it too is lacking.

To enhance it's uses further could we add a "hide values greater than" and a "hide values less than" to the map? For instance if you click jumps per hour it shows you with colored dots all the jumps in systems all over new eden. But with this I could type say 50 under hide values greater than and all the orange/red dots would disappear. (the star system would still be there but there wouldn't be any colored dots over them.) That would leave only the systems with 50 jumps or greater displayed.

I do see how there is a chance this could give players who know how to use it too much information, but I'm not exactly sure it would be game breaking to add.

While we're at the topic of improving the star map:

I would like to see the option to toggle factions/regions/constellations so I can only see the stars I care about and not have half the universe rotate around in the background. Outgoing jumps should still be visible if the relevant lines are active.

WTB world map in its own window. Not the little thing to the side that already exists.

I would like to see a world map where you could look at the universe, a selected region, a constellation, a single system or even down to a single planet.

At each level I'd have filters and views appropriate to that level. (You don't really need to see how much Felsic Magma all players are pulling off every planet in the universe, do you?)

I'd have the map be filled with relevant information for the Universe and not specific to Eve, but to Dust/Legion and Valkyrie as well. They want to integrate other titles, great - sharing assets is a good thing.

Oh cool and while we are at it, maybe show on the map who is in which system at any given time and in which boat she or he is in so I don't need to ask all those quiet and shy people in nullsec, what they have and bring the right tool for the job..

Errm, I mean the best ratting ship for my isk / hour since we all get paid the same per hour even if we are just afk-cloa- oops, sorry..

This would be awesome for solo pvpers and could not be abused by us at all, what could go wrong?

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

I'll assume sarcasm here...

No, I'm not advocating giving out specific detail like that at all (although it'd be a useful place to output information from deployable intelligence gathering structures/upgrades - provided the access permissions were done right, but I digress).

No, I'm talking about looking at regional data at a universe level, constellation data at a regional level, all the way down to the nitty gritty of objectives for dust players.

Perhaps it was my example - one I used to illustrate the different needs of the different scopes, not one I actually proposed adding. let's use the "Pod kills in the last hour" filter, as that is already in game and should not get me more flames.

Just in case...Thermal hardeners active Big smile

At the Universe level, it should only display the data for each Region. If you zoom in to a Region, you get per Constellation numbers, zoom in to a Constellation and you get the per System numbers. Beyond that the numbers change to clones killed per planet when looking at a System, and clones killed per Installation when looking at a single planet.

It's about cleaning up the mass amounts of data presented, and merging the data and UI for the different spin-off titles - not about being able to see who's flying what from the other side of the galaxy.
