Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Quoting for truth.

Possibly an option so you can see currently researched ME/PE on a BPO.Something like little red numbers for ME and Blue for PE. Stackable BPO would be good, I invent and research a good bit, and thus finding the good BPO to put on copy/research or production is often painfull.

Tags would be neat, certainly.

Posted independently for discussion in this same forum:



Today, I was thinking of some joke posts to pull in F&I. One of them was to suggest to CCP to color code the text on all modules with the now-standard WoW quality colors. If you don't know what that is, the joke would have been lost anyway. But my gist was to talk about how great it would be if people were spouting their 'purple' fit Navy Geddon's.

Then, it hit me that this might not be a bad idea. No, the WoW color thing IS a bad idea. But putting an option in the new upcoming Inventory UI where you could assign color codes to items by usage, fitting, or meta ... THAT isn't a bad idea at all. So here's the breakdown:

Allow players to customize the way items are displayed in their own inventories (this is a private setting, like UI settings). This includes setting the color of the text, the color of the item background (i.e. behind the lettering, essentially), or setting an item to blinking or subdued (barely visible, greyed out).

Now, to sort these, we're really getting into the juicy part. Allow all three options (animation, text and background) to be used under the following headings:

- Meta: Goes to that WoW idea, but it's pretty simple. You set which meta gets what color. If you want meta 1 to be grey, meta 2-4 to be white, meta 5 to be blue, meta 6 to be green, etc. Whatever color options, you open your inventory, and the meta of the item is instantly identified.

(I know for a lot of veteran players this option isn't that useful. Listen, except for a few ewar modules, I know just by the name what meta an item generally is and what I'm looking for. It's not that hard. But for new players, it can really be a ***** trying to understand our jargon)

- Market Value: This allows you to color code items with the market in mind. Want to blink any item in your inventory which is currently being sold at or above average market value, or near estimated value (which is damn near never market value)? How about greying out 'junk' which isn't being bought for even it's mineral worth?

(I seriously want this, but I can sense ... and actually kinda agree with ... arguments that this takes a lot of the research and skill out of the market system. Would love to get other opinions here)

- Fitting: If the item can be fit on your active ship (available PG/CPU or slots). If the item is in part of your ships saved fitting. If the item is part of ANOTHER saved fitting (so as you don't use all of the parts of your best fleet ship accidentally).

(Simple and direct.)



So, what do you think? It doesn't filter, it doesn't put things in tabs or folders (both necessary as hell). But it would definitely help.

Please add or support the addition of more KEYBOARD shortcuts to the UI. Eve has alot already, but its missing them for some of the newer features. WiS should also have more simpler shortcuts

Many aspects of the UI are painful having to click everything. I honestly hate using the mouse more than i have to... I far far faster with the keyboard.

Examples.

• Pressing enter on a dialog should be able confirm/decline in some smart manner.


• Right clicking an item in the storage should have keyboard shortcut similar to what you would see in a menu of a OS application. Quickly selling an item should be right click on said item, press S, press enter to confirm the sell. (since the batch sell doesn't seem to be an option...)


• Selecting a PI building such as a storage tank, or a extractor, press del to decommission something and enter for the confirmation window.


• Right clicking on the couch in the Stations should let you automatically sit rather than having to hover over it and the click on the sit button. I don't know if this part belongs under the WiS thread though.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I'd love to see a container or something that we can use to sort our ship hanger. For instance, I use cans to sort blueprints, items, etc (most of us do). Why can't we have this functionality in ship hangers? It gets to be a pain when you have 5 of the same ship and 3 are for pvp and 2 pve and you have to quickly swap ships. Or times when I'm looking for my haulers and I just keep missing them. I know the search is there but putting all my mining ships in one sub-hanger would be really helpful.

Can you please make it close when you loot a container instead of just keeping your inventory open in space?

Its been bugging me ever since you changed it to this new form years ago. I hate that it just sticks there when I don't need it at all.

At least make it an option for it to auto close after looting.

I would like to plus wun a few of the above posts.

\o/ colourcoding meta levels! \o/
\o/ useful containers! \o/

Also allow us to auto-fit ships using stuff from containers.

And a browsertab-like functionality for containers would be welcome - much neater then having everying on the left of the screen.

it is not inventor ui but i didn't know where to put it and i put it here it also ui issue think if you improve that it be nice

now to change scan probe range you need to grab and drag blue spahre or righ click at selected probes and you get first menu with 4 options; recover probe, destroy probe, deactivate probe, scan range. when you go scan range you get all ranges option to chose, my offer is to delate secend menu, delete in first menu scan range option, and put in first menu all ranges form secend menu so you have all in first menu

Add the ability for corporation assets to also appear under the standard 'Assets' window as a secondary tab for those who have access to view those hangars or locations (including POS).

Add a log to the Assets window which shows when an item moved under each tab, and where (into a ship hangar, moved by a certain player, the date of the move, etc).

This is the Inventory UI thread, first off.

Secondly, CQ wasn't killed. A bunch of players throwing temper tantrums got their way and put CQ on the backburner. But it still has coders dedicated to it, plugging away.

If not already posted, simply allow us to create folders to store items in. For example,

Create a folder (Can,, room, whatever it should be called) and allow me to sort out my weapons, from my warp scrablers, from my ammo.

Maybe have preset filters to show only "ammo" or only " weapons"..

I'm new to the game, but can see if you spend a lot of time in this game, years, you can get a HUGE pile of stuff.

Also maybe allow a MASTER inventory, to show what you have EVERYWHERE... maybe a new skill book to train.
