EVE Information Portal

One thing that's always annoyed me, especially in the heat of combat, is your menu system being reliant upon you being absolutely exact about it. Take BMs for example. When you right click, can you not make it so the menu stays there until you click off the menu rather than it vanishing or moving to a different option if you move the pointer. Like how an internet browser works.

Also the notification messages. Do they have to be active windows that you have to dismiss with an "O.K."? I understand the need to make AFK people aware of reboots and stuff but how about it being delivered as a notification or at least something that when you're trying to warp off because you're being primaried, you have to then click O.K. and end up being CCPd?

Don't know, if it's already in here, but anyways:

Please fix the window text of the Fleet window. It ALWAYS tells you the wrong squad.
And while you're on it, fix the Fleet window, so that it does not re-render the whole Fleet member list, if someone joins/leaves. It's a pain in the ass when you scroll down the Fleet member list and a refresh throws you back to the beginning.

Yaw - check

Pitch - check

Roll - Wahhhh

OK, I know this will be somewhere areound item 396,457,32.2 in line... but still, tossing it on the pile

Oh, back in the day (WAY, WAY, WAY back in the day) there was a kinda blue glowy radar thingy as part of the UI...
If that was indeed a 3d render of objects in near space, and was good for situational awareness....... Yes please :)

Forward and skip or random buttons for the main screen in the CQ.

Mostly so I'm not seeing the same ummm artistic nature film on the screen each time I dock.

+1 to everything that's been said about drones, and I'll add that we should be able to assign a "launch" hotkey to drone groups.

Also, if there are more than 5 drones in a group then non-damaged ones should take priority. Example- I have 10 heavies in a group, 5 of which are deployed and coming under fire. I recall them and redeploy, but the same banged-up drones go out instead of the 5 that are untouched.


The warp + jump command has issues when your ship doesn't have enough cap to complete the warp, as the client isn't resolving the command properly. Example- I select a stargate on the overview and press D to warp + jump, but the ship only goes halfway. If I press D again or even right-click the stargate and choose "Jump", nothing happens. The client doesn't realise that the command has effectively failed and is still waiting for your ship to jump (which isn't going to happen), so it ignores subsequent reissues of that same command. To continue your warp you either need to override the warp + jump command with a different one, ie warp to 20km or dbl-clking space, or you need to give the stop command (even if your ship has already stopped) and then reissue the warp + jump command.

Oh my god this^ so many times ive been asking what happened or how? Please.

Shortcuts still need work. Sometimes they don't work. If the item you have selected is not on your overview the shortcut does not perform any action. Sometimes you need to hold the shortcut key and then click on the object to make it work, which can be hard when things are moving fast or you are interacting with the 3D viewport.
Approach and Align should be a contextual shortcut key just the same as dock/jump/activate. Using the clunky on-screen buttons can be slow and linear as they might be far apart and your mouse can only click one button at a time.

Preferably shortcuts should allow the play to interact with things in a more simultaneous and flowing manner much the same as an FPS style game, where the player can select an object by clicking on it once and then be able to perform action on it by pushing different keys.

For example:
And FPS game - can sidestep, run, jump, crouch and shoot all at the same time or in quick succession.
EVE - approach, orbit, lock, shoot, deploy drones is currently slow and can only happen one at a time in some cases.

edit: most of these issues are prevalent in space and combat and the shortcuts should be hooked to the selected item window instead of seemingly on the overview.

Asset management is in general slow, and features are not implemented uniformly. I'm glad that this is getting some attention and am looking forward to this weeks patch.

Suggestions (some of these are repeats no doubt):

Features:
-Recursive asset searching (i.e. searching for a thing searches station containers as well)
-Allow creation/destruction of bookmarks, reprocessing of materials, repackaging of items, and refining of ore from within a container
-Audit logs pick up more than lock events
-Global settings for secure containers. (Not client specific lock / unlock)
-Increase 1000 item cap in containers
-Allow filtering of orders tab (like most other tabs allow) in the wallet.

Optimizations:
-Fix a bug where you cannot split stacks in full containers without generating a 'this container is full' message. (N+1 thing?)
-Improve lock / unlock item times.
-Improve item stack times
-Inside an alliance POS bubble one gets an access denied if trying to initiate ME / PE research from the Blueprints tab. However, from the Installations tab, one simply clicks on the installation, brings up the list of blueprint and starts the job. It would be nice if both tabs allowed jobs to be started as the blueprints tab is arguably more convenient. I'm not even sure if this a client issue, however.

Thoughts:

1) For science and industry, the assembly line selection window should remember last settings - having to constantly reselect the station/system/region/constellation from the drop downs is an annoyance, especially when kicking of 10 jobs that require the same clickety clicks.

The window should remember the last settings and save a few clicks in the process.


2) Container mechanics improvements:

- Having a gauge on a containers will tell me how full they are, percent or graphical, whatever works.
- Being a miner and hauler, emptying 20 or 30 GSCs in the hold of ship by opening each one, do a select all, drag its contents to another container, can become real tedious. I'd love to have a command that empties all containers at once without having to open them.
- allow drop on a closed container even if the contents don't fit - instead of rejecting the drop, make it behave like the partial drop we get when dropping an item on an open container - popup the partial drop window to select the quantity that will fit - that will save having to open the container.
- add one more option to the container context menu for "auto stack all". When like items are dropped in it, they automatically stack, saving an extra step to righ-click and select stack all. This option could be turned on or off by container.
- use a different icon for station containers vs regular containers.

3) When a target is selected, highlight the corresponding slot(s) [high-med-low] linked to it. Example: using a Noctis with 8 targets, 6 of them are tractored in, 2 are salvaging, it would be nice to know which high slot is doing what to the target by clicking each target. I realize the icons on the targets allow me to turn the high slot off, still it would be nice to know which of the slots is being used by which target. Currently, I only can tell which equipment is used by target.


Cheers!

Append Signature code to bookmarks


When bookmarking a sig from the scanner window can we have the sig code appended to the name please. Would save a bunch of time for most people I've spoken to who need to keep track of the sig code rather than searching for which of the 6x Forlorn Hubs was the one wanted...
