Some Things are just obvious, or at least feel that way. Many ideas you see on these forums range from "unbalancing" to "Are you sure you're talking about the right game?"
But some of them are simple, useful, and have no affect on game balance whatsoever. You might even say that some of them are...
... Blatantly Obvious:
 1 ~ The People in the Corner
This idea I saw on this very board some months ago. Seems to have gotten lost since...
Do not tell me that you have never once in your EVE career tried to right-click the character portrait in the lower right corner that appears when one of your buddies logs on. Thought so.
Basically, right-clicking on it should be the same as right-clicking someone's portrait in a channel member. It can't get more Blatantly Obvious than this, a feature that would not have any effect on game balance, and one that most people assume is already there, but then *click*click*click* "hey..."
2 ~ MOAR RITE-KLIK!
Now, with the certificate planner and training queue windows added, I think these should be accessible by right-clicking the character sheet button on the UI. Likewise, the Fitting manager window should be accessible by right-clicking the fitting services button. Etc, etc.
Currently, the only NeoCom buttons with right-click options are the "join/ create channel" for the Channels and Mailing lists button and the play/pause/etc for the jukebox. Another idea with no effects on game balance, that only makes the game more user friendly.
3 ~ Spambots and solutions
-Autopetition:
Add a filter to Public channels (unnecessary for player-made ones) that automatically notifies a GM if a character posts the same message multiple times, containing the same URL. In other words, a GM will be notified of any URL-containing message that is posted multiple times. (this filter could operate with a blacklist and detect if the bot has simply separated the .com from the URL, like they all seem to be doing these days)
Essentially, this is a system that autopetitions ISK-seller spambots. The filter does not automatically ban the player, in case of a false result. The idea isn't fully refined, bots might just post without the URLs, but at least it would cut down their numbers.
- Block list crowding:
Clear all button for block list, or remove deleted/banned characters from it. To be exact: If I want to see what actual people I got blocked, I don't want to have to wait 5 minutes for it to load over nine thousand spam-bots as well.
- Rightclick-block/rightclick-petition spam:
You know what I'm talking about...
-URL blacklist:
There is one, isn't there? Right?
4 ~ Player Hangar Divisions
Really, at least give us one section for slots and one for the rest of the crap. If not more. Would only be of convenience for players.
5 ~ Dude, where's my cargo
The new cargo space indicator. Some love it, some hate it, some emoragequit. I'm not sure my self, I sort of like it, but it does take up a rather unnecessary amount of window space.
But Please, increase the hue difference between the empty and occupied parts of it, or even change the occupied bit back to orange. It would look better in orange, if nothing else...

i wholeheartedly support the last point  (cheers for the mention shadow)
but seriously, i agree with all of them. i STILL try to click on portraits when they pop up, its such a natural thing to do. often i have a mate i want to ahve a quick chat with as soon as he pops on, possibly because he owes me money (you know who you are  ) and the natural thing to do is click on the portrait. im gobsmacked that causing a left click to open a convo wasnt the first thing that ran through the devs mind when they thought of the portraits.
the second point isnt one ive really through about, but i would welcome a right click option to open the skill manager. mainly because i often get a bug where i open my character sheet and the bottom half wont load till i log out and back in.
there are tonnes of options when it comes to spambots, but have always thought that the most obvious one was to make a system where if someone got flagged for spam so many times, they get temporarily banned from all public channels (have an option when creating a channel to make it public or not, plus local, constellation, region, empire, all those ones are public) until a GM checks out your case. yes, exploitable, but man those spammers get on my nerves. im trying to role play here a little FFS.
i wouldnt mind an explanation of number 4, im not toally sure whats going on there.
as for the cargo indicator, its ok most of the time, but when you are in a system with a blue nebula in the background  .

I got another one:
Implement an option to make it possible to view a killmail. At the moment the only workaround seems to be to copy it and paste it somewhere.
(Or maybe I'm just too stupid to figure out how to actually view them)

Be able to view a killmail without having to copy/paste it somewhere. Just a popup box with text, that's all. (maybe also item/character/corp links?)
you can already view, just double-click it in the combat log. But links in the KM would be nice.

- The training queue manager currently lists level 5 skills. Why? There's no point trying to add them... IMHO these should not be displayed.
- I'd like to hide certain skills in the Character Sheet -> Skills section. Level 5s come to mind, or lvl4s that I won't be training any year soon now (ore processing for instance, I've got perfect refines and T2 crystals, so why bother?). This one might not be blatantly obvious, but while I'm at it... ;) |

View Only Skill Level X in Skill Queu!!
I think it's blatantly obvious that with the dozens of skills out there, we should have the ability to instantly filter out skills above or below a certain level. For instance, If I buy twelve different skills to train up, I don't want to have to trudge through my skill menu to try and find all the dang things, I just want to set a filter to "show only level 1" skills, and then it filters out every skill other than those that meet the criteria.

Target pictures for locked targets should have a setting to allow us to shrink the images/damage indicators by 1/3 and 1/2. They take up an abnormal portion of the screen.
Allow the ability to remove thumbnail images from the chat overview windows.
Tool-Tips. Saying exactly what the text says is not a tool-tip. These need expanding to provide more in-depth information. For example, in the skill lists of the character sheet, simply adding the skill description/benefits and prereqs would greatly decrease the number of 'show info' requests players would need to make. If you want an example of what I mean, simply pull up EvEMon and hover your mouse over any skill on the browser. EvE needs more tool-tips.
Tool-Tips. Sometimes, tool-tips get in the way. Specifically on the map.
Neocron (left or right-hand menu with your character image and all the icons) needs an 'align top' and 'align bottom' option as well. As well, it's 'autohide' function needs to have a 'move windows aside' (current function) or a overlap (moves nothing, simply appears).
MapBrowser needs several new options. The first, is to be able to be separated from the side and treated as a separate window if you wish (undock from pane, essentially). Secondly, on it's 'docked' setting (the way it currently works now), it needs an option to push all other windows aside (current behavior), OR, overlap (moves nothing, simply temporarily overlaps).
All windows need the ability to be 'docked' and 'autohide' (like the map-browser and neocron), so that they can be accessible with a quick-key, but otherwise don't appear on the screen. Drone windows for instance, overview, HUD, scanner, chat, etc. This would give players the ability to allow for a LOT more desktop space.
This would mean that all windows would have:
- Stand-alone Function: the window sits on your desktop much like the overview does now. It can be resized, moved, minimized to tray (bottom left of screen), minimized to bar (stays in place, all you see is header), or pinned.
- Docked Function: the item is positioned along one edge of the screen (top, bottom, left, right), and either with quick-keys or hovering the mouse over the tab, the window appears along that edge. These can be resized, moved position along the edge, quick-keyed access or mouse-over access with autohide, forced to push other windows aside when active or overlap without moving other windows.

Oh, font and text size.
Some people simply can't enjoy the game due to the unfamiliar font and the very small text size. Adding some more text control and a 'reading for blind people' setting would be a major improvement.

I support blatantly obvious ideas being blatantly implemented.
Yes, EVE isn't supposed to carry you through the game. It never will. But there are some things about EVE that could be changed so they wouldn't necessarily make it 'easier' but just less headache-inducing.

10 ~ Reconnect to drone
Obvious, isn't it? If you're in the same grid as an abandoned drone belonging to your corporation, you can right-click - connect to drone. Then it will come back and behave as if you've just launched it.
This means that in case of a disconnect during a mission, you'll probably be able to retrieve them. In case of bugging out of a PvP fight, they're a loss.
(also, make them tractorable?)
sorry, this is a game changing idea, and i must strongly ask against it. you have NO IDEA how much isk i can make with 15 minutes and a scanner, collecting t2 drones people have left behind. adding any kind of reconnect feature severely detracts from that profit margin.
what i will say though, is that they should tag along in an emergancy warp, both ways. the only legitimate complaint from this argument is that people often get random disconnects during missions. i get them myself, and i know the frustration of getting randomly desynced, and logging back in to find the rats have chewed your drones to pieces in your absence.
so if someone quits, or logs out, or gets disconnected then by all means, drag the drones along with them, and keep them connected. anything else, and you need to go pick them up manually.
edit: also think about it. if CCP didnt have a good reason for allowing drone disconnected, why would they even bother making it possible to disconnect from your drones? having a drone disconnect option might be a practical upshot IRL, but in the game, you have to ADD disconnection, not remove it.

I completely agree with all items on your list, Shadow. One more thing that frequently comes to my mind (and those of a lot of others):
Remote stacking/unstacking: we can already shift stacks remotely, but we have to start making a contract to do it -> cumbersome. And yes, we can remotely stack items by setting up a sell order and buying from it, and, if necessary, shift the stack again. But that can cost quite some money (up to 3%), is risky (someone might buy your stuff before you can) and is probably the dirtiest hack in the history of EVE. Besides, if we can remotely unstack, why the hell can we not remotely stack. It would even unburden the servers 
Oh, and one more thing: make the right-click-ship context menu in space easier to access. I frequently zoom out to a distance I can't even see my ship anymore; setting a JB password or ejecting becomes a drag  Possible solutions: a short-cut or a button in the neocon that opens that context menu.
Please, CCP, pleeeaaase?

Actually, you can just right-click your cap indicator for the ship context menu. But remote stacking is added to OP.

Can we have the in-station, person-to-person Trade window in space please?
throw in a 2500m max distance between players before it becomes available to prevent abuse.
just so I can sell stuff in space directly for isk, awesome for deep space where you might not have a station with docking rights for several dozen jumps.

here is one to add to the blatantly obvious
when creating a trial make them verify that they are human
this can been done be using a combination of recapcha and email verification
this would make it more difficult for bots to create new trial acs.
auto deny repeat same message
this was done on a social networking website called Humanpets and basically denies u spam the same message over n over... perhaps the site owner patrick would let ccp use the code he made.
also ccp could set up an autochange a character's message content to "buying isk off this guy will get u banned cos it violates the eula" and match it to keywords such as "www.isk.com" or other known spammer website address commonly linked in their spam messages

Most major buttons should toggle their respective windows. Click the market button to open, click it again to close it.
Sort regrettable decisions in flyout menus separately from common ones which need to be clicked quickly without worrying about making a mistake.
Make containers automatically sort by whatever option you chose last. Better yet, introduce a selection menu for sorting (not a flyout) and make that selection persistant. Autostack should also be an option. Autorepackage too.
Click and drag to multiselect.
Drag a module over an occupied slot to replace the occupying module with the new one. You know what I want, just do it.
Remember the last selected chat window upon login. I'm tired of having to click Local every time to avoid the newb corp Barrens chat. Also remember it when I log off another custom channel.
Don't make the item search box automatically focus when I close a window in a station. I should never be accidentally typing in that; it's not hard to click that box on the rare occasion I need to do a text search on my container.
Give me some means of cycling through hostile, neutral, and friendly targets with a key press.
Hovering over any displayed time should show a tooltip with my local time.
Separate the station ambient sounds from the world sounds. Just because I'm tired of hearing the same 4 bars of an Amarr hymn doesn't mean I don't want to hear combat.
Why is my ship covered in Saran Wrap?

Yet, to scoop a drone to bay you have to be at 1500m. I think someone forgot something here!

I've got a few suggestions. :)
Group Names
If you look at the top of your station hanger window you'll see three little buttons for displaying items as Icons, Details, or list. I prefer Details because you get small icons in a list. Anyway, the list has headers you can click in order to sort the list. I prefer to sort by the Group names because it groups almost all related items together. However, some things still get scattered about, especially blueprints. It's because the word "blueprint" always come after the description of the blue print in the Group name. The solution is to put the word "blueprint" before the description for all blueprints.
The Assets Window
The headers at the top of the window only sort items in the drop-down lists but there are no headers for sorting the location information - i.e. System | Station | No. Items | Distance. Perhaps the location information can be placed in a separate list pane to the left of the items list pane. That way we would be able to sort the locations on the left in different ways and then select a location to show the items at that location on the right.
A Watch List for the Market
It would be useful to have a watch list that we can add items to so that we can keep track of the items we're interested in without having to navigate the whole market. I see it as a tab at the top of the regular market window that shows an identical market screen but only includes the items on the watch list.

A watchlist for the market already exists, it's called "market quickbar" (right click a market item entry to add it).
I have another blatantly obvious, non-game changing proposal: when we clone jump, we have to manually stop the skill training, leave the ship, clone jump, restart the skill training. Why isn't this done automatically? This doesn't require a single change on the server, everything I do can be done by the client. The same with plugging in an implant: stop skill training, plug it in, restart skill training. It's that simple.
Related: I have two characters on one account, I want EVE to automatically stop the skill training on the other character when I click "train to level x". Why can I not do this? I have already proven that I have access to that character by logging into my account.

8 ~ An actual logout function (by Sir Pignans (and others before him))
"Log Out" is not "Restart Client". It should instead take you to the character selection screen.
I don't think there's any real need to log out (unless CCP have dome something [else] totally ridiculous in code); what we need is a "Switch Character" button. Seems obvious enough, but...

Here's one I thought of after CCP added the percent-used indicator to cargo containers: how about showing the total volume of the currently-selected objects, so if I have a bunch of different stuff (loot, rocks etc.) in a can, I don't have to break out the old TI-99 to convert units of veld into metric cubes, then add that to the volume of three 1mn ab's and a round dozen cap booster 25's just so I can pick out as much as will fit in my cargo hold?

Damage a drone has taken when scooped. I use a coupe drone ships for lvl 3s/4s. I have excess drones just in case I loose one. I would LOVE to see something like:
[__|__|__]
and having it go in the same order it shows for the 3 parts, but as one single line in my drone bay. I hate it when I relaunch a drone by accident that has damage, then gets insta popped, then I gotta launch another drone and wait for it to get to the target. Is this just me?

Personally I just click in the repair window, Press Crtl+A and then click repair and it repairs everything that is damaged in my items list. If you maintain it this way then the only thing that is getting repaired is the last thing that you got damaged :P

F1-12 are cumbersome to use cause they are at the edge of the keyboard. I use mostly ventrilo to communicate while playing. If you need to chat you could activate the chat window with mouseclick then when done click space and control the ship. I got wsad keys for playing in most of my games... not eve.

Originally EVE did have this quite a long time ago. Back when battleships were the isht and moo and m3g4 were still around, but they did away with this. Most MMOs (i think guild wars still remembers your psswd) don't.

4 ~ Player Hangar Divisions
Really, at least give us one section for slots and one for the rest of the crap. If not more. Would only be of convenience for players, by reducing cluttering in the player item hangar (yes, I know what station containers are, and no, they suck)
This, this and thrice this. I don't mind paying for the ability, but right now, either using secure cans or not makes remote asset mangement a pain.
I'd like to add:
The ability to view all mails at once and sort them by date, read / not-read, title or sender. Most email clients have had this for what, ten years now? For those in busy alliances, it would make life so much easier. Also, the ability to ignore certain categories of mails--I'm thinking the spam of "POS erected in...." mails that 90% of a corp aren't bothered about.
The ability to switch off market auto-update after making an order. Most of the time, when I buy something, I have no further interest in that item and waiting for the market to update is pointless. It can be circumvented by closing the market before accepting the buy option, but why not make it easier?

I have an idea. Why can't we do Ctrl-Left Click on the NPC targeted picture to unlock the target. Currently if you ctrl-click on the target in the overview, you can target them. However, having to select the target by left clicking on the picture then unlocking them by clicking on the locking icon is a pain in the azz. Just allow ctrl-click to deselect/unlock whatever target you have currently selected.

This. And while we're at it: allow us to abort the locking sequence. Sometimes it takes so long to target something, that you have already changed your mind (for whatever reason) before it is locked. This shouldn't be a big change.
Man I hope CCP listens to those blatantly obvious suggestions. We should do some lobbying...

4 ideas, the first 2 were petitioned and a GM requested they go on the forum. They all seem blatantly obvious to me:
1) In the star map, I can't find an option to limit the "Colour stars by" effect to the route generated by the autopilot. This would make it much easier to check the route out, instead of it being obscured by information for hundreds of other systems.
2) When right-clicking on the "Drones In bay" folder, you can only delete a group. Adding a "Launch group" entry would save expanding the "Drones in bay" folder, clicking a group, launching it and closing the folder again. There's already a "Launch drones" entry at the top level but there's no control over which drones/groups are released which isn't very useful.
3) Following on from #2, add an entry to rename drone groups. Deleting a group, creating a new one and moving the drones into it is clumsy.
4) When drones return to the bay, don't expand the group folder if it's closed. Is there any point in doing this given we have no damage indication for drones in the bay and there's already a count of how many drones are in the group at the folder level?

how about this?
why are station containers, well... all containers really, auto set to locked?
so like, every time you have to reinstall eve, you have to go thru and unlock all your cans.
i understand and agree that there should be the lock/unlock ability, but set general settings to "unlocked".
most use cans to hold loot, ammo, and mods in their personal hangars. It's annoying.

Oh yes please!
And some more:
1). Move the some combat message in a chat window, colored by effect: damage done, damage received, ewar effect, with autolink on the enemy that damaged/ewar'ed you.
2). We should have the possibility to move the locked target icons around, even resize them like the fleet watch list.
3). I want to choose where new windows SHOULD appear..

7 ~ "Trash Item" and "Make Active" are not the same thing
Therefore, move them apart. Something quite a number of people seem to be affected by: Nearly trashing a multi-million ISK ship instead of boarding it. Decided to add this, since there seem to be 3-4 active threads on this issue at any given time, and it fits this thread's "non-gameplay-interference" prerequisite.
Thank you! This blatant issue has been bothering me ever since I joined.
Funny story, I actually almost trashed my CNR once because of this.... Thankfully CCP is kind enough to have a "Are you sure you wanna trash that?" dialogue. If that wasn't there, I would NOT have been a happy mission runner.

What about more visible medals? They should be just next to the corp logo on the character info screen and when moused over, a tooltip with information about the medal will appear.
Will make it very much easier to see what kind of enemy just appeared in local. As it is, all you check is the corp and employment history, but if the char has a medal saying 'First with 500 kills in corporation' then you might want to reconsider jumping him in a T1 cruiser.

Right click on blueprint -> Manufacturing:
1.) Please put a "[x] Remember Settings" there.
It is rather annoying to have to: Right click -> Manufacturing, change input from "Blueprints" to "Minerals", change output from "Blueprints" to "Products" 10 times in a row (or if you have 2 production alts 30 times in a row)
2.) Please autoselect the installation with the smallest wait time in the current station. Thats the one people select 99% of the time anyway.
You can show the next free time in the manufacturing dialog, it's a rather small dialog, wont hurt to make it a bit bigger.
And no, don't remove the "pick installation", just give us a sensible default value.
And please don't tell me about more database queries. Now you force us to click "pick installation" which runs that queries anyway.
Also: lots of good suggestions by all others!

Reduce Repackaged Container Volume
It's ridiculous that repackaged cargo containers have the same volume as assembled cargo containers. They should have about 1% their normal volume so that large stacks of them can fit in assembled cargo containers. |

Cyno-jamming module
A new module that would be an option only for HIC's.
A simple but effective defence against the rise in needless capital blobbing.

That would be game changing, need balancing, etc. The ideas on the list could most be added to the game without needing to balance them in any way - that's why they are blatantly obvious.

Want to add this one:
GLASS IN STATIONS
How many times have you sat in a station with a handful of hostiles in system wondering if it's safe to undock? Glass, the new space-age material! It should be possible to look out the window before undocking. Kinda crazy to think that the only time you can tell that you're being camped in station is right about the time you undock

Although I agree with you and think that this should be implemented, it would be game changing, and is thus not in the spirit of this thread. Same goes for the container repackaging thing, although I'd like to see that implemented, too.
A simple heuristic is: if anyone strongly objects to an idea because it would ruin an aspect of his gameplay, it is probably game changing and not blatantly obvious. |

my idea, if it hasnt been added already:
you can already bind keys to make drones return, return and orbit, attack... why can we not have a "launch drones" hotkey? so, when im flying my brutix, i can press two buttons and launch my drones?
sure, its limiting but you could also go into depth with it and bind specific drone groups to say a group ID, say "rightclick drone group > assign ID > 1"
and then in the hotkeys options "set launch drone group ID 1 > *eg* ctrl + shift + 1"
better huh?
also, with the buddy list logon avatar thing, make it so if you left click it or something, it goes away? because ill be in a mission, someone logs in, and my drone window is covered for a good 5 seconds... i dont like losing my drones in missions, and that bloody head popup has caused me to lose a few! |

I will add my idea:
add little icon that would display market window of specific item in your orders next to "info" icon
Wallet > My Wallet > Orders ... there is blue circle "i" so you can click it to show info for every single item in your order list. I would like to have Red circle with "M" next to it, that would open Market window for respective item imediatelly, without need to right-click, find "show market", left-click on every single item.
I am missing this a lot since I have "wholesale" trained :/

These features are all great, but I have a feature that NEEDS to be added to the list!!
This one is simple and obvious, a perfect fit for the list... (for the traders out there!)
Blue personal orders to make trading less painful:
Buy and sell orders are either shaded green if available at your current location, or nothing if they aren't. Any player with more than a few orders up knows that it's a pain to keep track of them. Your orders should be colored blue in the market details list! Yes, your orders should be colored differently from other players orders. Makes sense right?

What bugs me again and again, especially when transfering money between alts: having to type all those zeros. The blatantly obvious feature that would solve this problem: enable us to write "k", "m" and "b" as factors meaning 1,000, 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000, respectively (offer "g" as an alternative to "b" for the physicists and computer scientists among us). And not only for money transfers, but generally in every text field that expects a quantity. And please allow us to include decimals, like this:
2.71m (=2,710,000)
This would only require minimal changes in the client code, the servers are unaffected.

prehaps this is too complicated of an extention, but your own should be 1 color, .. yoru corps show be teh "crop " color (what color are corp mates in space?) , and allinace member buy/sell orders should be blue (I think blue is allinace mates right?)
- anyway- long and short of it is why not use the already extablished color codes in the market.

session change annoying --- add a work around?
I think there should be in space "condits" to the hanger.
how many times have you warped off to the station to switch to hauler, undock, grab can, redock drop it ... head back out for second load .. bla bla bla ....
we should have a option - when within XXX meter of the station to "trasfer cargo to hanger" from the cargo hold directly. it is that dumb , dock/undock takes so much time, and adds NOTHING of value to the game.
it would be fine if the cargo its self, was stuck for 30 seconds in the session timer while being trasfered.

A couple of thoughts that may or may not be feasible:
The ability to see inside station containers/proposed player hangars remotely. It's incredibly frustrating to spend time organising a busy hangar because things don't fit otherwise, and then find you can't see anything inside the station containers remotely. We have a whole sequence of 'do X remotely' skills that then fail to work!
Assets window. How come we can't even query the number of items in it? I can understand that an automatic lookup might cause lag, but can an advanced space-age computer really only tell me 'you have some tritanium in station X' but not 'you have 34515346 units of tritanium in station X'?

Implement this to all buttons which open other windows.
Click the button window opens. Click it second time that window closes.
For example I open the Market windows by mistake. It's much faster to just click the button second time to dismiss the window that find the tiny x in the market window corner.
And how about bigger X button for window closing?

When the log in server is busy you get a message saying you are #x in queue. Hitting connect again before it's your turn gets a message that you are still connecting (whether the bar is showing or not). The problem is that you aren't. There is no indicator that you have moved to the top of the queue and it's your turn to log on. You just have to keep hitting connect until the server accepts you. A notification or automatic logon when it's your turn would be nice.
I still want a button on the reprocessing screen that will ignore ships.

Move the HUD anywhere I want, not just along the bottom.
Mirror the module buttons from left to right if I wish.
Move the "Warp Drive Active" text together with the HUD.

Horizontal Scroll Bars on tables.
Honestly... why do tables not have horizontal scroll bars?
Tables are the most extensively used UI element in EVE and almost all tables are by far wider than the default window size!
Being able to horizontally scroll tables would make it possible to not have all windows larger than needed, just because one ot of ten tabs has a huge table.
This is a major UI design flaw that should not have existed in the first palce.

Oh God how about going over the horrible corporation interface?
- Expired corp orders stop showing under corp orders, but it doesn't release escrow until the person who placed the order cancels it.
- Take a guess how you apply to an alliance. If you said "search for it, right-click the result, and apply", you're wrong. The correct and only place to apply to an alliance is via the RANKINGS tab.
- Corp market orders are under Market, corp wallet is under Wallet, but corp assets aren't under Assets (they're under Corporation).
- Only the CEO can rename divisions.
- It's possible to sell things from your hangar on behalf of the corp, but not possible to contract them on behalf of the corp unless they're in a corp hangar or delivery bay.
- It's possible to accept corp contracts you issued to someone else on behalf of the corp (wtf?) but not possible to accept contracts you issued to the corp on behalf of the corp to move to the delivery bay. Why would you want to move things to the delivery bay? See previous point.
- Items occasionally don't deliver to stations that none of your corp members have ever been to, preventing them from being contracted back out or sold.
- Some slot types (i.e. copying) can't be set to alliance access. |

How about expanding Show Effects into:
- Show Omnidirectional Effects (smartbombs, doomsdays, ECM burst)
- Show Projected Effects (cap transfer, neut, nos, reps)
- Show Other Effects (sensor booster, tracking enhancer)
... so I can turn that pointless annoying sensor booster glow off without missing the fact that someone launched a 250km radius 77,000-damage bomb?
Oh yeah, and corp management stuff:
- Expired corp orders should release escrow immediately, not when the person that posted the order decides to cancel it. If not, then they should at least stay visible under corp orders.
- Alliances should be able to be applied to via search results, not just via the RANKINGS tab.
- Copying slots should be able to be set to alliance access.

Show Which Module is Active on Which Target!
When you hover over an active module on your module rack (be it a Mining Laser, Gun, or whatever), make it so that it indicates which targeted item it is currently active on.
This could be done by producing some sort of glow behind the targeted item, by highlighting the edges, or whatever would make it obvious that it is the target that the highlighted module is active on.
This would be extremely useful for miners, as it would make it possible to keep track of which strip miner is on which rock, so that you know when to de-activate your laser so that you don't lose a cycle
I'm sure it would be useful for other people as well, but this is something that has seemed obvious to me since I started playing (and mining) and I have wondered why, to this date, it hasn't been implemented. |

I don't see why this has to be implemented, because if you want to make a quick bm all you have to do is hit the enter button right after you press add bookmark.
This is a minor inconvenience that only has use when you are bm'ing a safe spot.
However, what they could do, is make it a toggle-able option in the Esc. menu to turn those confirmation windows on and off for those who want it that way.

Display ship fittings in properties
Originally by: Icennie
This is a real easy change.
In space, you can right click on your ship and 'show info' & it shows what modules are fitted. When you are in a station, however, you need to get into the ship to see what its fitting is - with all the hassle of the 30 second session timer.
Just change the system so you can right click on ships in your station hangar and see what modules are fitted from the 'show info' option...

when making safe spot or similar i dont want go through a procedure that takes 5 times longer as it should IMHO.
i know this may only be a minor nuisance for most people but i would consider this a nice improvement.
also think of a situation where you are being hunt by enemy forces in a system you have no BMs. you barely are able to escape from the gate warping to a planet. at that point it could save your life to be able to insta-create a bookmark in midwarp, because if you didnt happen to have initialized your p&p panel yet it might take too long to do so before getting out of warp.
i hope you understand what i mean. if nobody else feels that way then i'll trash that idea...
edit:
of course this feature needs to be spam safe so goons for instance couldnt exploit it to create server lag, i know they would :D |

Ooooh do you mean being able to make a safe spot without needing to open up the P&P tab?
I thought you were only referring to the single confirmation window that pops up when you press "add bookmark", which can be instantly put away by hitting enter.
So, if you are referring to being able to remotely make a bookmark (by right clicking or w/e), then I am in complete favor of this idea

I highlighted the reason why this is not a blatantly obvious feature, but one which would have a game changing effect. So although I would love to see it implemented, this thread is not the right place to suggest it. |

I'm coming from WoW and damn this is like going back to the stone age. How on earth the UI can still be as under-developed as it was 2 years ago when I last tried Eve?
1) Is it too much to ask that the UI would not randomly explode even when I have windows pinned and I open some random window/dock/something?
2) Seriously, it is only possible to bind F1-F12? Maybe I could for example press enter when I want to write something?
3) Speaking of chat...<3 ISK spammers. WTB chat filtering by words.
4) Looting...*sigh* I don't want to find this damn Open Cargo button every time and drag the items to my cargo hold.
5) Pfft cargo hold... Oh why does it have the same window dimensions than the items&ships window in the stations?
6) YAY LETS USE THIS EXTREMELY HARD-TO-RECOGNISE FONT WITHOUT A POSSIBILITY TO INCREASE ITS SIZE TO REASONABLE
7) A proper combat log and scrolling combat text. If I've understand correctly the killboards are rather buggy and it would help a noob to understand what's actually going on.
8) Buffs and debuffs, mission objectives tracker, finding agents, overall sluggishness...
9) OR just make it possible to have addons like in WoW. Wouldn't it be great to have an UI that's 100% customised to your preferences?
Someone could think that after 6 years atleast the UI would be usable but... I suppose I could try this again in a couple of years to see if something has actually changed/fixed. Currently this feels like I'm trying to cut my wrists with a freaking spoon... A plastic one.

How about expanding Show Effects into:
- Show Omnidirectional Effects (smartbombs, doomsdays, ECM burst)
- Show Projected Effects (cap transfer, neut, nos, reps)
- Show Other Effects (sensor booster, tracking enhancer)
... so I can turn that pointless annoying sensor booster glow off without missing the fact that someone launched a 250km radius 77,000-damage bomb?
Individual effects being turned on and off = epic win.
He who made, and those who approved the sensor booster effect need facepunchings. |

No focus stealing windows! Or at least fewer
Don't you just hate those windows that won't allow you to click on anything else while they are open? Very common in the S&I interfaces( which need some major love in more ways than this, but i'm not holding my breath). |

If I open a ship wreck to loot it and make it stack with another window then please,
make any future ship wrecks that I open also stack with that same window!
There's no reason that every time I open a wreck the window pops up at a completely random position on my screen and when it closes again it somehow manages to drag the rest of my UI into completely horrible new positions! |

Allow mutliples of the same sound to be stacked (If you have sound on and a POS is being shield repped, it laggs the client really badly).
Might be why sound causes such an FPS drop. The sound quality might improve as well since you wouldn't get the staticy feedback effect from identical sounds fighting for channels.
Long-range icons for fleet/gang members.
Basically so you can see where the other pilots are in space without having to actually be on grid. Would help alot for aligning to players (for SS's etc) Maybe similar to the regular icon but with a <----> sortof display above/around it to show that the icon represents a gang member off grid.
Shield graphics for hits
If you've ever played Nexus: The Jupiter Incident then you know why I'd love to see this in eve.
Missing shots
When a shot misses or a missile is out of rangem you still get the hit graphic/sound dead center, would add to the immersion to actually show the shots missing, or at least just not show them hitting (no graphic).

Really easy tweak, Swap the recover probes button with the reconnect to lost probes button. More than a few times my poor (i suppose) mousing skills have pulled my drones back in with a simply misclick on the adjacent button. If these 2 buttons are switched at least you wouldn't lose your probe positioning.
If swapping a button is too easy, perhaps allowing the user to cancel the reconnect to lost probes. It seems there is a short delay, could a confirm dialog or some keystroke be implemented?
Appologies for posting this all over the forums. I could not find a seemingly appropiate place to post this suggestion.

Swap the recover probes button with the reconnect to lost probes button. More than a few times my inaccurate mousing skills have pulled my probes back in with a simply misclick on the 'Recover Probes' button adjacent to the intended target 'Analyze' button. If these 2 buttons are swapped a misclick next to analyze would simply click reconnect to lost probes, likely having no effect. At least you wouldn't lose your probe positioning.

4 ~ Player Hangar Divisions
Really, at least give us one section for slots and one for the rest of the crap. If not more. Would only be of convenience for players, by reducing cluttering in the player item hangar (yes, I know what station containers are, and no, they suck)
I'm new to EVE, but this a no-brainer. Some manner of station hangar item management would do wonders to my basic satisfaction with the in-game UI.
I also presume that with proper implementation, such an idea would significantly reduce database queries/accesses and improve overall server performance.
One implementation would involve the addition of user-created subgroups or folders for station item hangars (but could also be applied to individual containers). Items could be manually placed in subgroups and/or (better) the subgroups could be user configurable by item type or class. A 'sort to subgroup type' variable could then be added to the item 'sort' menu.
A similar, but more limited, functionality could be gained by granting the various station containers a configurable sort function (i.e. user configures a container to store all ore and mineral types, or all ballistic ammunition types, or all tag types, etc).
It makes little sense to have players open an station item hanger and sort through 500+ different items when a simple user-created subgroup implementation with a sort function could cut that number down by a substantial percentage while improving item management functionality. Further, as there would seemingly be no need for the database to immediately access every item contained in a subgroup, the overall server load should see some improvement.
tl;dr: Second.

eeeeee. Why don't you get yourself a couple of station/giant container and start sorting out stuff.
I started doing it recently and it works wonder. My hangar is now clean and shiny ... Might be because of the janitors...
It have only 1 problem (and not it's not because the guards dogs ate a few janitors) If I'm not in the station I don't know what's in a can. Please make cans accessible by the assess window. ^^

Updating the combat log of all parties involving in a kill, not just the guy that died and whoever got the killing blow.
The current system is a holdover from when you got actual killmails and it blows if you're in a mixed group - there's always some jackass that doesn't post a KM so you have go track it down.
Given the importance of KMs I'm really surprised this has never been fixed. If the KM vanishes into a black hole of doom the kill may as well have never happened.

Very good suggestions in this thread, now if only CCP would acknowledge them.
Some comments to selected propositions:
------------
1. Like the op said, this really is blatantly obvious.
4. I think this isn't so much needed anymore as we have the search box for hangar, which is a godsend when you are trying to find something fast.
10. There currently is an option to have just a static image as station environment.
12. While this would be somewhat added convenience, pausing and restarting training when you need to do it (not all that often) isn't really that big of a annoyance.
14. This would be very nice.
15. True.
16-17 Implementing these would make the game SO MUCH BETTER it isn't even funny.
19. This would be good.
20. I don't see a reason why this couldn't be implemented.
24. This would be awesome.

i apologize if someone already mentioned this, as i didnt have the time to read the entire post, but something that is REALLY missing from this game is percent indicators of shield/armor/struct left on a target. Take for example when i'm shooting a pos, i want to know how much shield is left (in a percent) so i know how close it is to being in reinforced. We already can see our own ships shield/armor/struct %, why not be able to see that on all our targets, etc???

add some highlight to arrows in probe/scanning sphere u know no one wanna be blind..
put some space beetween butons in scan window like a cm scan / recall probes / reconnect etc.. its realy sucky thing to press wrong buton and launch same probes again..
give a color to different kind signatures after u found what they are ec = grav : green, radar : blue, magneto : red, etc...
for god sake make a buffer memory or something for scanning thing we'r living at some distant future.. we should have more complicate and "clever" computer with us so after "ignoring signature" u dont need to check what it was.. /scan it found it and ignore but when u put your probes at different location its forgot what that signature even after u found what it was.../

i have one.
Directional scanner should recognize bloody AU units since it is the default celestial measurement in Eve.
Better option would be that on the direction scanner interface there should be 2 inputs, 1 in metric, the other in Astronomical Units, linked together so you can type in either box and it updates the other.

12 ~ Auto-pause (and auto-restart) training (by Adrian Idaho)
Not having to manually pause skill training and then start it again when plugging in an implant. Also don't stop training when clone jumping. These are extra mouse clicks that serve no purpose whatsoever.
Also, if you have a skill training and try to train a skill on another character on the same account, give us the option to pause the training on the other character.
If you understood implant mechanics you'd know these "extra clicks" aren't useless. If your skill didn't stop when you clone jump you could jump to a body with +5 implants, start training a long skill, and then jump back to a combat clone the next day and still continue to train with the +5 bonus.
Pro tip: If you get podded while training a skill, that skill will finish training at the speed of whatever implants you had in at the time, even though your new body has no implants. If you stop or change the skill it will train at the speed of whatever implants you have in your current body. (IE none in a fresh clone.)

If so I really like this...
It would be good if you could link things into chat from the market, by draging the icon to chat (would save having to type it out and then make it a link)

No, No, NO.....
What he meens is not to gain bonuses or such, but that when you jump clone; instead of having leave your ship, to open your skill window, pause, clone jump and then restart your skill - the game would do these automatically as part of the clone jump request (a macro command if you will)

Ya want them to wipe your nose for you too? You can only clone jump once every 24. How often do you drop implants in. It's a couple of seconds of time every once in a while. Or once a day. I'm thinkin CCP set it up the way it is, because that was the easiest way to keep it from glitching out. It's really not that big a deal. Neither are some of the other issues on the list.

On-board scanner range/arc displayed on system map from your ship location when you have the Directional Scanner tab up (removing probes from the map if any.)
And for probes, remove the shadows from the box/arrows for moving them so they are clearly visible no matter the system backdrop/lighting, and change their color perhaps as well.

#16 (ctrl-unlock) is a horrible idea, otherwise it's all good (regarding #3: there is no black list but there clearly needs to be one). Some more of the blatantly obvious sort:
Make probes more visible, without shaders set to high you don't really see them at all and even at high they are very dark below the solar system plane
Move the recover probes button away from the analyze button and add a confirmation window to it. I can't count the times I accidentally recalled probes.
Add probes to the overview so "use active overview settings" can be used on the directional scanner without hiding probes
Allow repackaging of items outside of stations, in particular in POS hangars
More hangar divisions
Allow per-hangar or at least per-POS hangar division naming
Allow more than one hangar access setting for POS hangars
Possibility to set alliance access to corporate hangars
Allow keyboard shortcut keys to be assigned to all game functions
Allow free selection of shortcut keys for eve voice instead of forcing us to use keys which are also assigned to other shortcuts and game functions
Allow simple consecutive tagging of items on the overview via a direct "add next tag" command instead of having to select a tag manually
Allow to remove a previously assigned tag
Allow trashing of bookmarks outside of hangars
Allow dragging and dropping player into the buddy list from chat windows
Allow adding players directly into address book groups via the right click menu
Add the same right click menu options to a player profile (show info window) that you would have on that player's portrait icon in chat
Remove buddies and notes from the main list after you moved them to a group
Allow sharing of bookmarks, address book entries, the block list, the contract issuer ignore list, fittings, etc. between characters on the same account
Remove the separate contract issuer ignore list and instead auto-ignore contracts from people on your block list. There are far more than 80 scammers in the game (the limit of the separate contract issuer ignore list)
Allow searching through contents of your containers from in game instead of having to use the out of game API for that (or sticking them in a contract)
Allow renaming of containers in corporate hangar arrays and your cargohold
Allow to see drone shield/armor/structure status while in the drone bay
Allow to sort eve mails into folders
Allow us to disable click targeting of objects in space for which you have hidden the brackets
Allow moving the upper left solar system/autopilot route info window
Allow pinned windows to be non-transparent (or rather making window transparency a separate option applicable to non-pinned windows also)
Make the game remember your default size/location for containers so that you do not need to reconfigure the cargo bay window for each new ship you enter and so you do not need to do the same to each new container you assemble.
Add an indication to the overheat damage repair function about the time and amount of repair paste needed for the repair

The animation around the selected target in space (not the list at the top of the screen) should have a readout to the right listing velocity, transversal etc (all the extra stuff from the overview) instead of having to look at the over view for it like below:

Only for your selected target though.

Something I'd like to see that seems Obvious and would be simple to implement is linking bookmarks in chat or eve-mail. A bookmark is just a set of x,y,z coordinates. No different than giving someone an address to go to in RL. This would make a lot more sense than making a copy of a bm and dropping it in a can.

GREAT idea!
I'd like to pick up on this and add 2 things:
1st) Why only the selected target? Have it shown on all locked targets.
Picture
2nd) Also show it on the selected item. That way you can still browse through items on your overview to check their speed/transversal but you don't need to have speed and transversal added to the overview => less lag when theres tons of stuff flying around you.
Picture
Also make this optional. A setting in the overview settings. Let us choose which attributes we actually want to see. Maybe someone wants to see the enemy's shipname or radial velocity

Here my list of blatantly obvious stuff :
Easier Target management
Never wanted the quick right click menu worked on target pictures?
Setting default "Keep at range"
Besides keeping target at current range, there is no way to set it. We need one like orbit range setting.
Speaking of orbit range...
Why can't we set it for farther than 30km? Or why can't we type in the exact range we want to be at?

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but a number indicator on the left side of the detail view or the list view (kind of like the row number in excel) of your hanger would be nice, that way you know when you pick 100 items for your contract. Maybe you could toggle it on or off in the heading of the hanger window.

Here's something for your list:
When a new option for interacting with something is possible, put it at the BOTTOM of the lists, instead of at the top, where it replaces the approach button.
Example: When I want to approach a drone in space I right click it and hit approach. Only I didn't just click approach, I clicked scoop to drone bay.
Worse example: I was at war, going to approach a guy who was in a frig. Only he ejected right as I right clicked on his ship... Fortunately he wasn't able to fly the mega I was in but still, having the board ship option put right where the approach ship (arguably the most used right click thingy in the game) is incredibly irritating (especially since for whatever reason there's no confirmation button, it just pops you into the ship). New options go to the BOTTOM of a menu, not the top. |

I would like to have the option of disabling sounds for items like market browsing - I do NOT need to hear a CLICK everytime I move to a new item.
I would also like to have the option of disabling the lookup of item info in the market window - I DO NOT enjoy the inevitable lag for each and every item I hover over - or just move my mouse past. Also this displayed info is mostly duplicating what I can read in the item description (line) anyways. This is incredibly irritating when moving quickly through my item list to update price.
PLEASE give us an option of disabling this.

12 ~ Auto-pause (and auto-restart) training (by Adrian Idaho)
Not having to manually pause skill training and then start it again when plugging in an implant. Also don't stop training when clone jumping. These are extra mouse clicks that serve no purpose whatsoever.
Also, if you have a skill training and try to train a skill on another character on the same account, give us the option to pause the training on the other character.
If you understood implant mechanics you'd know these "extra clicks" aren't useless. If your skill didn't stop when you clone jump you could jump to a body with +5 implants, start training a long skill, and then jump back to a combat clone the next day and still continue to train with the +5 bonus.
Pro tip: If you get podded while training a skill, that skill will finish training at the speed of whatever implants you had in at the time, even though your new body has no implants. If you stop or change the skill it will train at the speed of whatever implants you have in your current body. (IE none in a fresh clone.)
It's funny you should mention that, because CCP fixed that "bug" a few patches back. If you've got implants, and you get podded, you no longer train the skill at the implant-cloned rate, the reason I'm annoyed that we still have to manually pause and resume our skills is specifically because CCP went out and removed a feature in the game that made things much more simple with regards to pvping with implants, without using the exact same mechanic that they had just introduced to make installing implants or jumping clones a little easier. |

I just wanted to say: /sign.
I am running for CSM5 2010 on a platform that is exactly parallel to this entire thread: "Fix the Little Things First." There are so many little things that could be done that do not completely alter the game or balance, that would greatly improve our day-to-day gameplay, tighten it, hone it, make it more efficient AND deep at the same time. The more little things, the better. Synergy is the key word.
I've been keeping a word doc for about a year now of little suggestions like this I've gotten from players, it's up to 4pgs now, single spaced. It's such a big deal to so many people I decided to run for CSM to advocate this large underground voice.
While talking to corpmates about my platform, I was linked to your thread as having fantastic ideas that are directly parallel to my platform. I'm so glad you've championed this thread. Great Minds do think alike. I love all your ideas, and will absorb them into my campaign, and delegation should I be elected. I love so many of the ideas posted following on this thread also.
For a small sample of the issues I've put forward already: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1306978
I encourage all of you, if you truly do value these little things, this is your chance to actually get these things accomplished! CCP has now given the CSM direct involvement in prioritizing the development log. Vote for me, I'm your man to 'get the little things done first!'
If you have any other suggestions you've been brainstorming, or have any questions of me, please feel free to contact me. Seeing as you have such a strong voice and are respected for this idea, I would love to have your vocal support.
Vote Cinori Aluben CSM5 2010!

Simple. Ctrl-click locks a target. Make Ctrl-clicking on a locked target unlock it.
Good idea genius, so when we are experiencing lag and ctrl click the same guy twice we'll unlock him? You've obviously never been outside of Pator.
Alternatively, shift + click could do that.

On that note:
Make a gangwarp WAIT FOR EVERYONE TO ALIGN BEFORE WARP so that it really is a gangwarp, not a frigging exploded matryoshka warp. If only the Commander knows where to warp (mission space, safespot, etc), no-one else can align to be ready for warp.
And on that note:
Allow bookmarks to display as a bracket so you can align to a safespot.

You are aware that pointing your ship in a particular direction has absolutely no effect on align time, right?

If it doesn't, it should. That's what I understand under "Aligning": pointing the ship into direction of destination to be ready to warp. No mention of "also start flying in that direction".

I definitely agree with many of the things involved in this thread. Too many little things are overlooked and could possibly be easily implemented, much to the rejoicing of EVE's ever-growing playerbase. (Little work for big improvements, who wouldn't want to instate them?)
One of the first things that irked me about EVE (this was three years ago) were the lack of shots that actually missed (where's the whiffing shots?) and the lack of graphics that indicate direct hits and to what (shield/armor/struct). Doesn't it look kind of wierd to be flying a frigate aggressed by a whole mission's worth of rats to only see a rave party directed straight at a single point on that one ship? It looks, seriously, like the ship should be slowly melted away by that... And for shield hits, those kind of effects have been around for eons, but I can also see the strain it could place on clients (LOD guys?) to be hit by many different targets...
I think the most simple and immersion-helping combat effect would be missed shots. The amount by which a shot is missed and which direction could be derived by the game's original math for to hit and tracking speed and whatnot (there's math there already!). Perhaps glancing shots could glance! Perhaps that wrecking hit could actually hit dead center. It would look so much better for shots fired at your ship for them to act as they're typed out to the player in their log, or even with some randomimity.
It would take a lot of the "I put on my robe and wizard hat" out of combat and could also, possibly even, give some statistical information to a player without requiring him or her to sift through rapidly scrolling logs to see how well one ship in a group is hitting him or her.
Also, what happened to the capacitor readout, srs! I have seen a percentage based and a #/# capacitor readout above the modules on the UI (that nice toggle-able one) in a lot of the public EVE screenshots, sent a petition wondering where the lost object was and learned that it was taken out, and was available on previous releases. I like not having to mouse over my cap to see a readout! Why would CCP remove a feature like that? I mean, why should they show my hull percentage if it isn't damaged most of the time? [sarcasm/]That should have been removed over the capacitor readout by which every pilot lives and dies (literally) by![/sarcasm]
PS. 'Station Conduits' or direct dumping to station would be awesome, even with a 30s, 60s, heck, even 5min delay before the items are reflected in station hangar... I agree with the poster who originally posted the idea; it's extremely irritating to wait for station enviro to load, just to drag'n'drop and wait for undock and blackscreenofdeath. Hence, can mining.
There's my attempt at a constructive post that is not merely a rant, but serves some kind of convoluted dual-purpose reflecting a combination of rage and blatantness.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, point 6, I think it is (hangar items divided by type, specifically all 'slot' (module) items are least set aside in different areas) is already possible.
Just open your asset window when you're in a station. There's a 'station' tab, and you can view items by categories -- ships, ammunition, modules, and a few others, iirc.
I don't use it much, but it is there.

This might be nitpicky but;
Change the name of Smartbombs to Pulse Emitters, for they are neither smart, nor a bomb.
Then implement a player-guided missile that can be fired from a capturable station or a POS, which can also do local warps, to break up system camps. THAT would be a smartbomb.
