EVE Information Portal

It would be really handy to have the Jump Bridges on the map for those entities who have set you +5 or +10 as selected by the alliance. Though I imagine this would take a bit of alliance roles reworking.

Or, integrate the agent finder with the map. The assets window could do with inclusion as well. Hell, they could put a miniature version of the map icon after stations and systems and gates wherever they come up to show them in the map view, or you could right-click->show in map, or maybe it could go into the circular pop-up menu thingy.

A fleet view would be amazing: you would see whatever the FC (who controlled the map) saw, highlighted with whatever she wanted to highlight.

Finally, +100000 for a replacement not just for DOTLAN, but for the various wormhole mappers. It would have to be different from the other map view (maybe only 2D, to keep the lore fiends from getting too excited about positional information) but it would be so incredibly nice to not have to use the creaky in-game browser, nor to have to go to an out-of-game browser, to do the basic bookkeeping associated with WH life. The map could even auto-fill the system name and effect!

Whole lot of awsomeness comming in this release!



Hint : combine two good improvements, we can now decide if bookmarks in a folder show or not in the sensor overlay, would it be genuis if this functionality also applied to the solar system map, when you start scanning. bet we W-Folks will love it :)

Those pictures are sexy as all hell. I mean, daiyam! Been waiting to check this out.

In principle, from what I see on sisi it's a nice remaking of the map system. But I don't want to lose functionality from it either. That is what a map is for. Attractive as it is, seamless as it is, what it looks like actually is a fractal tangle of Xmas tree lights. Maybe it looks better with TQ data, but everything seems just very dim, and unspecific. I understand that's something to calibrate, accounting for occasionally extreme data.

I like it being seamless, but I'd like it more if I had two buttons to activate (f10, f11 say) - one for jumping to current system map. Because they're used for different purposes. One is (largely) navigation. One is tactical (or otherwise finding people, or their stuff). This of course not how the current map works, but it is the one utility improvement I'd ask for, so I can always deliberately open the 'right' map.

What I see as a problem in the solar system part of the map is what is (currently) missing; maybe you know this, it is a beta but it's important enough to mention. Please refer to this old system map (of nothing in particular, probe placement to demonstrate something that doesn't matter) > http://i.imgur.com/Nku8p.png < ; this shows what I need or want to see when I am using the system map;

- probe bubbles. Yes, I'm sure you know about that.
- exploration sites (I also presume on the way)

- celestials - planets/moons. Yes, I care about the location of these tremendously.
- bookmarks - yes I can see them in space; I can't make 20, and trim them that way without an overview; and support orientation, as well as labels for important things etc.

As the latter two are not of interest to people that only do level 4 missions I feel they're the most important to stress as important to people that play eve. These are go-to sites for combat probes in many situations.The answer of course is, like the old solar system map in allowing people to set their own level of clutter tolerance. Maybe this is on your todo list. I'd like to make sure it is. If there already is a button for that, I didn't find it, and it should be on my todo list.

There would be a gold star in it for you if you added a directional scan cone control/overlay and/or a probe group snap-to-nearest central object function. That would be awesome.

I'm not sure time is best served by remaking dotlan. Surely we already have one of those. Maybe you have ideas to extend the idea that can't be API accessed, otherwise I don't see the point.

Kind Regards,

One who actually uses the maps.

It's right under the rainbow... just need to find the unicorn!


No, but really! This is looking great!
Can't wait to try it out and am looking forward to all the new added features in the coming months!

It looks nice, but I cant use it until it is accessible from within anokis. Switching modes will be too annoying on the fly.

Interesting. It will be interesting to see how a dotlan-map looks ingame.

Feature request:
Favorited Filters ('starred') bubble to top

Those three you always go back to anyway.
(And that hide away in a tooltip now of all things, which is less directly accessible than the window was before.)

This is such an awesome idea.

Being able to see (via labels) Where your assets are stored.
You can of course always use the asset window, for this sort of thing. but doing this with a visual represntation is very usefull.

I've often had to see what way was the shortest by using eve dotlan, by manually putting in each waypoint.
