Edited by: Kitarie on 17/05/2008 19:55:55 Hello friends,
I just had an Idea that could make a pilots life easier (imo ;) ). Why not integrate a tiny window with only a textbox and a "set destination" button. You could type in the destination that you desire and set your ap immediately. No more klicking with the mouse required.
type => enter => ap set
good / bad?? feel free to discuss. I would love such a feature
/edit: forgot the reason why i love it: up until now you need to open p&p, type, searc, right klick, set, close window ... too many steps
...infiltrating enemy lines... |

This function already exists... in a slightly different form.
Type the name of the system you want into any chat box. Or even just the first few letters like "Ours" to get to Oursulaert. Then highlight the word "Ours" which is easily done by double clicking the middle of the word. Right click, and Auto Link -> Solar System. If you happened to type something that is common to a few systems, it'll offer you choices. If there's only 1 system that matches, then it'll automatically make a link you can Set Destination off of.
Just clear the text box afterwards, or your next sentence will link to that system too.

it's also pretty darn quick to just go to your peoples & places and search the solarsystem there...
I don't see much point in reducing the role of the mouse, because you have to have the mouse for everything you do in eve anyway.

I personally like the idea, if I need to move out of a system fast and don't have time to link it in the chat box it's easier just to type it and hit ok. It should come up with systems that you can quick select so you don't have to type in large names either.

Why? That would just make me move my right hand to the keyboard, I can't properly type with one. I got enough bookmarks around to find everything I regularly need.

If you're in a hurry to be somewhere else (possibly running from combat?) then are you really wanting to type anything at all? You right click empty space, select the first object you can, and Warp To. Or if you're smart, you select the first object you see ahead of your ship, so you don't have alignment delays.
If you aren't running from combat, then you're really not in that big of a hurry that you need instant gratification.
The whole type large names comment... makes me think you want it to suggest systems from the beginning. So you type "O", and it pops up with every single "O" system in the game. Which could be Oursulaert, or some 0.0 system like OB1-QQ. So the game will lag out as it scours the server for any O systems. Then you type "u", and it has to filter the entire list over again...
Just accept that you need to take 3 seconds to plan ahead. Set a destination before you enter mission space. Or warp to the first acceptable option. Or... let go of the mouse for a minute and type 4 letters. It won't be that bad, I promise. =D
