... I mean, what is the purpose of this bar, if to Lock the one who is EWARing me I have right clic and browse the menu?


Wouldn't it be just smarter to:


You clic the icon, then 2 things should happen:

1) If you have the target locked,you should select it.

2) If you don't have the target locked, you should lock it.



The intention is nice, but it totally fails the purpose, to select the one that is EWARing us we still must go to the overview.

it does. REALLY ?

The problem comes when you are being affected by two or more targets. Which target should the client lock onto?

The client could lock onto the closest target, but you might not want the closest but you want the Falcon. So this is why you get a little menu.

2) If you don't have the target locked, you should lock it.

I see... and what would happen if 4 people were, oh lets say, sensor dampening you. When you click it, it targets all 4? What if the max for your ship is 3 targets, it takes 3 at random?

I agree, it would be really nice if this thing allowed us to target people, but this was covered in the thread that discusses the dev blog on the subject. The short answer was, they wanted to do something like that, but couldn't in the timeframe.

** EDIT **
Aw, someone beat me to the post.

So it should load a single icon for every single thing that is happening to you.

3 Target Painters,
3 ECM Jams
2 Warp Scrambles

So, instead of just 3 icons, you want a total of 8.

Seems about right. *facepalm*

Clearly you haven't played other mmos.

That makes a bad idea (one icon per) better how?

Other mmos dont have 1000 man fleets.

I like it, it's smooth. But I think the information on time / quantity needs to be better displayed, I would suggest on the icons themselves...

Also, if we could get one for other remote effects such as friendly sensor boosting, and better yet, remote repairs, then that would be awesome.

Edit: I originally thought about the rings too, but then decided I like having the time remaining shown, although not to a completely nonsensical number of decimal figures. 1 will be fine, and the best way of ensuring that text is clear to read is to put it on a background, might as well be a bar.

Yeah, Eve rocks, but it doesnt mean that other mmos with sieges and huge battles with 300 dudes don't show you every buff/debuff that is affecting you, when it happens, buffs just reduce their size, and if you hover on them it prompts the name of who is doing that and its classcoloured.

God forbid an 80 man drake fleet hits your super up with 80 target painters not to mention the multiple scrams and webs. You probably would not be able to see your screen any longer.

I mean, theres a fancy yet useful solution for this, what im saying is not stupid at all.

I'm so suprised of you guys trolling in this matter.

Oh yeah, trolling on feedback forums is so helpful to ccp.

Only bad things are trolled, for they are bad and in turn people should feel bad having made them.

Anyway, my point has been told, I quit this kiddish, stupid, pointless argument with internet chipmanzees, you win dude, you are a higly gifted person, I'm just a moron :)

Now, keep barking, go ahead, make my day :)

I think the only purpose was to make it more clear what is being done to you, and it does that nicely.
