EVE General Discussion

+1 for the heroic amount of work you've done

Browsing through this list, I didn't see a single one I didn't like.

That said, I'll be keeping track to help you out.

Added Small Things>Interface>Stations: Option 'repackage' in the context menu for selected items should expand further into 'repackage all' and 'repackage type' context options

Compiled Small Things>Interface>Fitting: When fitting from saved fittings also check the ship's cargo and station warehouses if the necessary mods are not in the hangar

Added Small Things>Interface>Industry&Research: When starting a job, check the ship's cargo and containers if necessary materials are not in the hangar

I'll add it to Crazy Ideas, sorry I'm convinced CCP will never go for training multiple characters at once on a single account, even when dividing the SP/hour. Skilling up multiple characters at the same time can be a pain, but improving switching between characters and giving the skillqueue some love are the ways CCP would deal with it.

Added Small Things>Visual&Audio>Neocom Option to show the names of the items in the Neocom. Small text icon/bar/box that can be chosen to be shown either next to, under or instead of the button icons in the Neocom.


Thanks! Funny I hadn't noticed before, even being Caldari and always having the TO on. Removed it from the list. Remember that for things like these, the comment function in the G-Doc is probably the most efficient way of letting us know.

New update!

We are still looking for more editors. And don't forget to post your fixes and ideas here so they can be added to THE LIST

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SyqOQ09grn4n-JoKm7h9701p9GIRNcW6e1BQG_ZfCSE
(yeah, the forum problems with BB-code are on it as well)

I'm not sure that fully describes it. Maybe:

> When initiating a warp to a gate via the Jump option, ensure that you arrive at the gate in jump range (<2km) and that you jump upon arrival regardless of cloak status.
> When initiating a docking at a station via the Jump option, ensure that you arrive at the station in docking range and that you dock upon arrival regardless of cloak status.

Maybe... thanks! :p

Now that I think of it, they desperately need a public JIRA site or something, where people can submit these things as tickets, have them marked as minor, cosmetic, major, etc., and let people vote on which ones they want fixed first or "watch" them to see if/when they're addressed. You're doing a great job here on the forum with the tools we have though :)

Kudos for all the effort spent in gathering all these gripes in one searchable place. I hope the devs pay more attention to it :)

Having said that, wouldn't it be better to use a bug tracker for this? With all the different statuses you've attached to the suggestions it basically is just a community bug tracker. You could even use Google Code for it.

On another topic, you seem to have passed over (or just missed) some of my suggestions:

• Let a CEO who owns all the shares do stuff without a vote link
• Make all dialogue boxes non-modal unless there's a very good reason for them link
• "Reduce cycle time for propulsion modules" (link) also applies to drone MWDs
• This one is expanded a bit: When someone applies to join alliance, send a notification to executor's CEO and directors (and maybe also personnel managers) and add timestamp and link to the corp link
• "Show info" on location of jump clones link
• Don't log (in wallet journal) one-way, no-isk trades via the trade window link
• Let anyone unanchor an offline POS and modules link
• Agents should know the character's gender, not just assume they're male link
• When trashing a ship, don't also trash stuff fitted to it or in its cargo/drone/etc bays except the stuff that comes with a noob ship link
• Allow injecting any skill, but not allow training it until prereqs are met link
• Increase the length limit of notes and bio link

And one comment on an issue you did list:

• The "weird almost random errors of trying to put stacks of various items in various containers" (link) are not random, it's just an inconsistency between dragging something to a container window and dragging it to the icon.

Just back from a holiday trip. Istanbul is awesome! And just as awesome is the fact that even in such a short time already there are things added and improved by CCP.

Next is a list new updates to the G-Doc. We've added all entries from Grey Stormshadows thread.

Over the next few updates we'll be doing some restructuring to improve the categorization and do some thorough filtering for double entries and vague descriptions.

NEXT UPDATE: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1331347#post1331347

I like it, but are any devs or CCP folks going to see this, or have they already?
