Overview Windows

Simple Quality of Life Request...

Ability to "Drag Out" overview windows so that it is possible to view multiple overview presets simultaneously. Directional Scanner (and any other related ui to the current overview) works off of a "Primary" Overview window, which is denoted with said name and can only be minimized (like current overview) but not closed.

This change enables the pilot to track two or more overview settings for a myriad of tactical and practical uses. Fleet fights particularly would benefit with the ability to build multiple overviews that would be easier to maintain and use than current fleet ui.

Personally, I'd like to see watch lists and the fleet ui be largely rolled into the overview ui as a single, cohesive unit that is highly customizable...but that's a different topic.

TL;DR

Overview Preset Tabs can be dragged out to form a separate secondary, tertiary, etc overview windows - enabling pilots to see their various presets simultaneously as opposed to having to click between tabs.

"Primary" Overview window (the original) will have same title and, as current, can only be minimized. Additional overviews can be closed or re-attached to the primary overview window, much like all other windows in EvE.

Whoops - did not see that Karkur's little things thread was still sticky. I only saw the corp little things thread.

Posting this idea in that thread since it is a 'little thing' QoL idea.

Devs, feel free to lock this if you so choose. Thanks!
