Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I don't see why it couldn't be a drop down menu where someone could select anywhere from 2 hour to a week (anything beyond that being forever). Give the person who created the bookmark the ability to set it himself. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm fairly certain you currently do not need roles to create corporation bookmarks, so I don't think that any of this would be need to tied to any additional roles.

What would even be nice is to add the drop down menu to the probe screen and have a save bookmark button right beside it so you could save it to the desired length of time.

Some ideas for the drop down menu for actual times...

2 Hours
8 Hours
24 Hours
2 Days
4 Days
1 Week
Forever

What would be even better is if you could select certain sites to be defaulted differently. So you could have wormholes set automatically to 24 hours, and grav sites to a week and your personal bookmarks to 2 hours so you clean the wrecks up behind you.

You really wouldn't have to. As an example, you set it up where when you save the bookmark if it is set to have an expiration, the bookmark would get put into say a 60 minute window block database when it is supposed to expire. You then expand these databases out to the maximum save time and, then when it comes time for them to expire, you just clear that database. So realistically if you had chosen a 2 hour expiration window, it would really be a 2 hour-2 hour 59 minute expiration window. The important thing would be to have a hard limit of how far out you could set them to expire.

Sort by whatever you are attempting to edit.

With that said, I'm still a supporter for having an option to have them expire.

You obviously don't realize how ridiculous that sounds. There's a massive gap between your "make everything easier for me" schtick and the base code necessary for the game to function. Exageration to the point of absurdity does not make an intelligent argument.


This is where proper bookmark sorting applies. Wormholes rarely last more than a day, so the bookmarks under that folder can be deleted when more than 24hrs old. Relic and combat sites likewise don't usually last long, so they can also be deleted when over 24 hrs old. Data sites eventually get run, so delete those when over 48 hours. Sure, there will be a couple valid bookmarks deleted, but it not like it's difficult to probe them down again. Only an idiot thinks you need to go verify every single bookmark before deleting them.


The ingame calculator has no relevance what-so-ever to bookmarks. You cannot claim the sky is green, and then try to prove it with a horse. Just learn how to do things the right way.

You speak of intelligent argument, yet you resort to smear campaign and clinging to unrelated details.

Again, not a very intelligent argument calling your opponent with names.

And trying to derail the conversation and denigrate with it with unrelated details.

It has been stated that current tools are being used for bookmark sorting and deleting, but they are found to be tedious to use, thus the need for better less tedious system. If you can give me at least one argument that doesn't rely on calling players lazy or how you personally don't need any improvements?

I can live with this.
