Please reduce the clicks you need to lock / unlock blueprints!

Atm you need 6 clicks to lock and 8 clicks to unlock a single blueprint:
1st click: right-click the bpo
2nd click: select "Propose Lock Vote" / "Propose Unlock Vote"
3rd click: the "Next" button in the vote window
4th click: confirm the vote settings
after that you have to go to Corporation -> Politics -> Votes -> Open Votes (I don't count these clicks because you normally do the only once)
5th click: open the lock / unlock vote
6th click: selcet your vote

and after the unlock vote ends the CEO has to do 2 more clicks:
7th click: open the pending sanctionable action
8th click: confirm the unlock

Solution:

  1. as soon as someone create a lock / unlock vote, count it as a "YES" vote from this char (seriously, nobody creates lock / unlock votes if he don't want to lock / unlock the bpo)
  2. for all other voters reduce step 3 and 4 to one step (and maybe fix the vote time for these kind of votes to 24 hours)
  3. at the moment all open votes are shown as an collapsed list -> make an uncollapsed list with a "yes" / "no" vote button for each entry (sth like this)
  4. same for the pending sanctionable action list -> uncollapse it (there is already only one "apply" button for each list entry




And yes I know my skills with MS paint are bad :P

As someone who had to suffer through unlocking around 200 BPO's a small number of days ago this idea has my full support! If I would have had to do it for my full library I would be still clicking at it!

The most horrendous feature in EVE must be that the open votes screen resets after every vote. So the more votes you have going at once the harder it gets to find the spot where you were in the list after every vote. Like really? The only more user un-friendly thing I think of would be randomly scrambling the votes and making the vote buttons run away from your mouse pointer for it to be a "minigame".

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.

I have to unlock ~800 bpos, fly them to a station with research / copy slots and lock them again ...
