EVE Information Portal

I second the quote above, I am annoyed that I no longer have a SOV browsing menu - World / Region / Constellation

I am also annoyed that the Owner of the system I am in is no longer prominently displayed on the screen

I have also submitted a bug, Industry level 3 system, and the large anomaly has not spawned. I was just at the I-Hub and confirmed everything, and I also confirmed it at server up after patch.

Yeah and its GIANT there is too much space above and below like inbeween system info and autopilot/destination info.
Too much blank space and logo too big.
Even in hisec?
Lets us customize our own damn UI guys we use it. Noy you

gratz fozzie,eve is now officials a game of scammers,gankers and griefers.hope you are pleased with your achievements

bring back greyscale and you could **** the game completely between the pair of you

I would like to thank CCP on the new batch of skins for T2 ships.

The pricing is no longer all over the place! The frigates and industrials all cost the same, and cruisers are all the same.

I have purchased 6 skins to use in my fleet, and as long as the prices are acceptable, I will continue to buy in the future.

I assume next week we will get battlecruiser skins, and perhaps the week after battleship?

Looking forward to the new ones!

Gotta say, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Entosis capture animations. Even while capturing a station, there's no real impact to what we're doing. There's the Entosis beam, and a grey circle showing progress. By the way, that circle showing progress doesn't actually show the countdown until it's about 1/5 completed. Kind of annoying.

I'd like to see the Circadian Seeker animation on structures as it "scans" stuff while we Entosis Link something - that would at least show a larger scale of the effect we're having.

If we complete the Entosis cycle, the beam just shuts off, and the circle resets to full. That's it. No drama, no big explosions... The old station reinforcement animations showing shimmering energy waves aren't even there anymore. Somewhere deep in space (or a timerboard), a timer ticks down, but you don't see it like you would on a POS or POCO.

Definitely like the changes to the new scanning map. The "snap to" feeling is getting there, with less inertia while swivelling the camera around signatures. The new mouse pointer is a little bright, but a HUGE improvement from the circular one.

*takes a deep breath to rattle down all the things and stops short* Wait...
Is... is this for real? Did I skip patch notes on this? *checked ingame before server went down for the long haul*
Weeeeell... okay, close. We no longer have ridiculously expensive Frigate skins but saying they all cost the same is sadly not true. But it sure is an improvement, don't get me wrong. A long overdue one.


Anyway where was I... oh yes:
I can honestly say all these 4 are straight improvements, especially the inertia. It feels a lot less sluggish now. While that does not make other problems of scanning disappear, it is one thing less to worry about. And the fact that you are not disabling the old map yet gives me hope you are still going to address these problems without ruining the map experience.
The performance of the map has increased as well as far as I could tell. This is another huge improvement, thank you. Performance was and still is one of my top things about the starmap. I still don't get the same high framerate I get with the old map though, but I hope we're getting there eventually.
I still would like to have a "true north" option for the flattened and 3d map to go back to one unified rotation. It helps tremendously to direct people on the map if everyone is on the same page and it also helps your very own self tremendously to keep the map as you are used to.
And no, don't get me started: there IS a space north in eve. Period.


1) Except it doesn't. Sometimes it simply doesn't follow and sometimes it does, and sometimes it follows so stupidly that you end up docking in a system and suddenly the map jumps to this.
Also the word "can" implies a choice, yet there is no choice. It always tries to center my position on the map, and god forbid I nudge the map once a little, and the entire thing is gone again and I would have to click the button to get where I am again.

In the Old System map when you entered a system, it was by default centered around the sun and kept there unless you centered something else. This was great behaviour. However, I see merit with the new system so I propose the following change:

Give us OPTIONS for the follow-mode, located at a small downwards pointing triangle beside the "Focus current location" selection to indicate these options, which opens a little drop down menu. The options would be:
Self: Current behaviour (follows myself until I nudge the map)
System: Old map behaviour (centers to the sun of every system you enter)
None: Not following at all.

This would give us the best of both worlds.
I also like how the movement is smooth and not the 1-second sloppy refresh time it once was. Although "smooth" is a matter of definition. It still hobbles, wobbles and jumps erratically instead of the old map which is a flawless movement. Maybe it is because the framerate is still not as good as with the old map or maybe it is a render problem. I think it is the latter due to the thing trying to center on screen the entire time.

Now, let's go to 2)
Your stacking markers are still behaving erratically. In fact, I still have the opinion that this entire consolidated stacking is a bad idea and brings nothing but irritation. You are fighting a design choice with a design choice. We only "need" a black area below the icon because the map background gets in the way and the current shining star is stupendously huge for reasons I don't know. I said it before and I say it again:
Either REMOVE the star background completely, or give us the option to toggle it on/off OR make the starmap background fade to black the more we zoom in. Because that would make sense. Look at the old map. Once we have a nice solid black, there is no need for ... well... more black that is obstructing other things.
Last but not least the biggest problem of stacking is, it messes with your spatial awareness.

Also, give us OPTIONS what we want to have stacked and what not. Make it a little checkbox menu thingie just like one we already have up there *wink wink nudge nudge I know you can do it* If I had the option to allow stacking on everything EXCEPT stations, beacons and scan results? I'd be in heaven.

Actually they have addressed this issue quite a while ago, you can uncheck them in the dropdown selection of what markers are to be shown or not.
This removes the black probes from the view and they won't ever be in your way again c:

That said... I wish it was the default option to have them disabled. CCPlease?

Aaaannnddd....the servers are down. For a while now.... Hopefully with quickfix patches....

Just because I thought this was incredibly ironic:

CCP stated one of the reasons for the terrible restrictions on ship color schemes was so that T1 ships didn't resemble T2 ships but here we now have T2 skins that can make the T2 ships look like T1 variants... Maybe we should revisit the whole ship skinning restrictions and start releasing things for more than just individual hulls and start expanding it like it should have been done in the first place like for a whole race's hulls or for a whole subset of a hull class regardless of race etc.

It was a pretty lame excuse the first time around, and now CCP just made sure their previous excuse was 200% completely worthless. Way to go CCP.

(and no, I'm not going to dig around in the forums for days to quote the exact instances, I'm not getting paid to do CCP's job so I'm going to stop doing it)

When I saw this sovereignty video I clapped my hands very hard. It was this freeport mode for stations that will bring extremely juicy situations to EVE battlefield. This also promotes battleship use since entosis link uses lots of resources and battleship has the most resources available. Capital ships can deliver subcapital ships to battlefield and station medical services provide endless supply of clones!

I have even idea how to improve this. Make all contested stations and freeport stations visible on map so everyone can take advantage of situation!

thank you. i didn't know that
