So I thought that this would have come up already since the Kronos release, but the last thread I could find was from 2012 (Reference: Old Thread)

It would be nice to be able to toggle between preset/saved broadcast settings vs doing them on the fly in the middle of a fight. This mainly applies to hot swapping logistics and dps ships and implementation could range from drop downs to toggle buttons, whatever is easier. This isn't a big request afaik but would be a nice tweak to the changes from Kronos.

Yup and then you're stuck following overview if you're set wrong

Non-WH specific things:


Overview:
Setting up the overview correctly is a pain.. This should be made easier, less tideous. And if you say "all ships" would be great that when CCP release a new ship, its automatically included in that overview ;) It's great that you can tweak something to the amount of detail that is now possible.

If CCP are not convinced this is needed, ask them to once set-up an overview for when flying logistics (on a character that also has contacts with standings). Big smile


Fleet Broadcast settings:
The ability to save your broad cast settings, maybe even tie them to a ship type or even integrate it with the overview. Even if you just had a right click dropdown menu to select 'armor logi' or 'shield logi' or 'dps' etc would help: set-up once, save, and you got your custom pre-set broadcast settings.


chat channels:
The way the interface is set up now, if you get too many (corp, alliance, local, your intel channel, a logi channel, some public channels, than maybe you have some social channels etc), you can't read the tabs no more, or they are just hidden.. or, it blocks your entire screen. Also chat channels seem to change positions every time you log in.. "local" sometimes is not the first channel, and alliance/corp is somewhere in the middle.. I would like to be able to adjust the position as well.

Possible solution: Would be great if you could group some chats in one tab (public channels of other corporations), group a tab for private convo's, have the tabs not horizontally next to one another, but vertically (so you can read more than jsut 2 letters).

Email:
Would be great to have a search function in your email. And I personally (but maybe I am the only one), would like to be able to not just tag an email with a label, but to just drag them to a folder. Also, would be great to improve mailing list moderation.



the fleet broadcast stuff made it on to my list of stuff to try get sorted if thats any help to you
