Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have a couple little ideas that I think would be welcome to the game, hopefully with the upcoming expansion

Current Favorite : "When you 'view market details' highlight your buy and sell orders green or some other color. Making it easier to tell when your order is the lowest price, and stop me from buying ammo from myself [:oops "

(Be sure to copy paste your favorites in your replies. If you have any criticism for an idea, please copy paste and let me know why to help the cause. Post your own ideas, if I like them I will add them to the front page list with your name on them.)

- An option to turn off Captain Quarters completely, for the people with older computers so an accidental mis-click doesn't leave us with a loading screen and nothing to do for the next few minutes

- A right-click option when clicking a locator agent to 'locate' or at least after closing the locate (this person) returning you to the conversation rather than closing it

- An option to view the old 'new' icons for turrets and items, some friends of mine and I rather liked them and didn't have to much, if any, trouble telling them apart

- A mail-like invitation with a link to join a mailing list. To make it easier for me to invite friends to my mailing list

- More color options when applying standings. This has probably been suggested before, but in case it hasn't, there you

- When you 'view market details' highlight your buy and sell orders green or some other color. Making it easier to tell when your order is the lowest price, and stop me from buying ammo from myself [:oops

- Include ship name's in killmails. Just for fun [:=d

- In some place like account management, have an option for once or twice a year to extend your training queue 15-30 days for being away from the game for a while. Such as going on a family vacation. However, should the account be logged on after 24hours after the extension was activated the queue extension will cancel and all skills in the remaining queue that fit in the normal queue will be held but the rest will be taken off the queue. I don't know if there is a technical issue preventing you from doing this, and I can't really think of a way to exploit it for anything other than it's intended purpose. All I know is that I have had this problem before, and it has cost me skill points

- Make the minimized FPS Monitor show your FPS on it's icon while minimized. This probably isn't possible with the current neocom, but in case it is I just don't like keeping my fps graph up taking up my valuable screen and reducing my view of the beautiful graphics

- Make and option to minimize windows the way they used to be, I used to leave a minimized chat on the bottom of my screen. Call it habit, or preference, but I just liked it better with the chat down there for a few reasons. It showed the names of the chat without having to hover my mouse over it, and it's more convenient to find and click in my opinion

- Add a Red, Blue, Green, and maybe Transparency option to overview color settings. Maybe use this for standings as well so I can fill my overview with all the colors of the rainbow, and help me know the difference between a true blue and a new, not so trusted blue, and a small time, not so bad red from a big bad scary red

- Show ships in ship maintenance bays on my assets list, I can lose a t3 from time to time [:|

- Back to the overview again, let me pick colors for mixed details. Such as, in fleet and a corp member, or maybe, in fleet and flagged as a criminal. You could also set double boxes, with a little purple person above a green corp star with the same plain old fleet background or corp background depending on which ever one you have set to priority.

- Graphical settings bookmarks. So I can have presets for a large battle, fraps, and normal. It would help me enjoy the beauty of the game when my computer is under less stress and keep that frame rate up at more intensive times, without having to go through all my settings pre-fight, and adjust during a fight or video

- A highlight, or color change for broadcasts. This would improve reaction time to new broadcasts and keep the fleet in better order

- A fleet bay, for all ships with corp hangars. This would be a hangar for fleet members depending on whom the ship owner would allow to access it (Squad, Wing, Fleet)
