Instead of having to exit the game completely and log back in to switch characters please give us the option to exit to the character select screen? it would just make switching characters a little better...

Absolutely beneficial to my gameplay. Hell Yes! I was annoyed some time ago that this ""simple" feature did not exist, but i forgot over time.
Remove JumpFreighters/CloakHauler/CloakTrick and make a new T2Freighter(mjd+fleethangar+dock+T2resists-JumpDrive). Because we need more opportunities for piracy, escorts and decentralised economy!

Once a connection has been made, both the server code and client code make a lot of assumptions that the characterID will not change, and it's very far from trivial to change that (otherwise we probably would have done that a long time ago)
This is a post from 2013 when the new character select screen was implemented.

I have played a lot of MMOs. EvE is only game that makes you log out completely and log back in to switch characters... it's not game breaking but it is annoying.. Maybe it is not a "Trivial" change, and i'm not a programmer so i couldn't tell you if it is or is not. But i'm surprised it wasn't implemented from the beginning... They give someone 3 character slots and assume their not going to switch characters.. ??? You know what they say when you " ass-u-me " right ? haha!!
ooh well i figured i'd just toss the idea around... maybe they can get in in on a future expansion down the road somewhere..

Hey, Why not just have a "change character button" that closes the game instance and opens another, new one ;) would be a tiny bit more comfortable than to manually start the game. Depending on where you got your icon, restarting can involve quite a few clicks and double clicks. |

you can leave the launcher open and signed in so all you have to do is press the play button to have a new instance of eve open |

This has been suggested a couple times before, and is not possible because of legacy I think. |
