Grendelsbane	Posted - 2007.10.18 13:19:00 - [1] Hey, CCP. I'm going to be blunt. Your ship piloting interface sucks. You can click everywhich way in space and sometimes your ship simply won't go anywhere - and I'm talking in empty systems, not the Jita 4-4 undock lane. The accelerate and decelerate shortcuts don't do anything at all for a stationary ship, and even if they did, if you try to bind them to anything that is actually useful in a hurry you get a window telling you that you really shouldn't do that. Since when are my key bindings your business??? If my ships takes off when I try to type, that's my problem, not yours. I can easily imagine there are technical issues preventing the use of joysticks or whatnot, but it'd be nice to have some hotkeys for at least 50% and 100% throttle so I can at least get my ship moving. Trying to click tiny-arsed buttons in the GUI doesn't work well in practice.

Everything is fine and dandy now _____________ Entering the Intergalactic Summit forum is like walking into a Startrek convention; All you see are a bunch of nerds and you go "WTF?"

Barbaro55a Caldari Os Lobos	Posted - 2007.10.18 13:28:00 - [6] I'm going to whine about the quality of this whine. It sucked big Sweaty Wrangler Balls. Originally by: ISD Valorem If someone has hurt you out of game then please talk to family, friends or Police (if necessary) Kind regards Valorem

Yea, it'd be totally sweet if I saw the inside of my pod. It would look like a quivering biomass of crap and you could see the pod wall. That would totally be interesting.

You could do a live web cast from inside your POD as you slept. I'd pay for that.

Grendelsbane	Posted - 2007.10.18 13:41:00 - [10] I have a perfectly huge monitor and excellent eyesight already - I fail to see how this is a "sub-par whine" when it's such a simple matter for them to fix. It's not like I'm asking for something to be nerfed or crying that something is unfair.

Barbaro55a Caldari Os Lobos	Posted - 2007.10.18 13:54:00 - [11] If you want the buttons bigger in the foreground, you'll need the beutifull backgrounds nerfed.

Winterblink Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.10.18 15:03:00 - [13] The only thing which irks me about flying around is the whole "double click in space to fly in that direction" thing. It works great, unless there's lag and then sometimes your double-click never registers properly. Would love if it there was a deliberate single click action option (like control-click or something) that did the same thing. warp drive active \| nature vraie

For right now we pod pilots are forced to spend all of our time in the pods. You should read The Jovian Wetgrave to see what happens when we are removed from the pod currently. I have heard rumors however, that scientists are working on a method to sever the pod/brain connection more gently allowing for frequent excursions out of the pod (lol @ RP explanation of walking in stations XD) -=^=-
