Science & Industry

first of, great job on the industry UI, and thanks for iterating improvements! its appreciated

I'm a small fry indy with just one alt whose task is to try to pay for its plex each month with minimal time investment;

As a result my playstyle is nomadic/leecher. i have a small stack of blueprints, and when i want to make something, i sit in jita and try to find the cheapest spot for this item within short range of Jita.

As a result; i first look into the list of available teams, and try to check if the ones with the best ME would give me a nice enough discount to lower the cost index;
Basically a team with x ME bonus more or less lower the effective system cost index by x%
when i found a good team in an affordable location, i put my blueprint and ore in my sexy kryos and go build there.

The UI is not perfect for that;

Go ahead, try this workflow (ie first pick a team in team tab then find a facility in the same system); i ll wait ....

Ok do you see the issue ?

When you pick a team ,there is no easy way to know the system cost index, or even if the system contains facilities I can use;

So i need to switch to the facilties tab after selecting my team.

I cannot copy directly the system name inthe search box.
When i am in the facilty tab, even though i selected the team, there is no reminder of the system it came from. so i need to try to memorize the first few letters of the system an put it in the filter in the facility tab, and then maybe realize there is no public manufacturing facilties here.

I never noticed before the crazy spelling of the EVE system names, with systems starting with iy, iy, unless its ii, vaan, or van; was it kh or hk or kk, etc.... slight dyslexya doesnt help

So proposals:

- manufacturing cost index of the system in the tooltip in the team tab
- team location on tooltip on the selected team on top of the blueprint (there is already the useless team name)
- the bees knee: when you right click on a team, an menu option to switch to facilities tab with a filter for this system

while we are at it; why not the reverse, ie when right clicking on a facilty a right click option to go to team tab filtered for this system

also something that been bugging me. why not an industry tab in 'show system info' with all the cost index and available indy activities ?

thanks for staying with me this long!

I would recommend using the note pad you have and take down the names of the systems and casually check the index near jita since most of the time the index in the forge area bounce around like waves.

Just take down the systems you like and then check the teams and check the index ect. I actually prefer seperate tabs so I don't have to much info just sitting on one.

There is info on systems for index its in the facilities tab from what I've seen don't call me out on it but it goes out to 17 jumps and it shows what activities the system has to offer. If you look at the forge area you have 24 systems that provide all activities. You just have to look.
