World Shaping Stargates are now named solely for their destination. This means it will now display 'Destination' rather than 'Stargate(destination)'.
WHY ? |

WHY ? Reason is probably that you can see destination name without needing wide Name-column.

No but you see, I really liked to name my ships : Stargate (Jita) etc.
I swear to you that it confuses the **** out of people who just make a quick d-scan and don't pay attention to much.
More than once I have been able to drop unnanouced on someone thanks to that. |

Seems typical CCP. Instead of fixing scaling issues in the overview, let's randomly remove something that increases name length. shiptoastin' liek a baws |

Many people had expressed their desire to return back to the old, pre first attempt at localization, representation of stargate names which is what we are doing. I jumped at it because I dislike having an icon for a type on the overview and then the typeName in both the itemName and the typeName fields.
Are there any specific areas where you think you could confuse a stargate name with a solar system name without having any other visual context to differentiate between them? I'd be more than willing to look into it once everything is good and stable. ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it. |

Nope, I was more hoping that people would confuse my ship with a stargate when skimming through their d-scan.
So all in all, the change is probably welcome by most. I myself dislike it because it will probably affect my possibility to ambush people. But that's just me really. |

I think people might pay more attention to a ship with a single name like Jita or Rens than Stargate (Jita) or Stargate (Rens).
99% sure about that. |

You should use a bracket or some kind of identifier for sorting this column so that stargates stay near each other when sorting the column.
Or did you think of this and just mask the word stargate?

Could be simplified to [planet number]/[moon number] [station name]. No need for the planet name (since they're always named after the system) or the word "moon". |

That is actually quite simple to do and we could easily retain the system names in search results to facilitate station search by systemID. Only real annoyance would be player owned outposts who are handled a bit differently.. but it's no biggie.
I'll of course probably forget this suggestion in the coming hours as I'll start dealing with deployment fallout. It wouldn't be a bad idea to start a thread on the topic so we can gauge the general reception of the idea and send me an eveMail with a link to it once it gets somewhere. ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it. |

I couldn't have said it any better, I was looking at this yesterday just wishing they would do this.
Now if CCP could just increase the number of Icons to be more meaning full on the overview then just cruiser , industrial then life would be grand.
Then just look at icon see ship type (ie Amarr logistics) glance at pilot name and call primary :) |

Swear people will cry about ANYTHING. Make a gate filter on your overview if its such a big deal and then shut up.
(in hindsight i probably realize 50% of eve idiots still don't know how to make a filter properly.) |

Why not do both?
Seriously...
Give us the option to turn on the usless word stargate, or turn it off. |

How about just designing the whole thing? Yes, EVE's UI really is that bad. UI Iteration isn't enough, we need to start from scratch |

Did I just interpret this correctly in that you made this change because of technical clarity rather than usability studies or UAT which pointed towards a necessary change to make the game more playable or the UI better from a player's perspective? 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284286 |
