Hello Pilots,
I have re-subscribed after a two or three year hiatus and I am loving it! I have a lot of work to do in order to get this toon up to par but being back in the EVE Universe is exciting.
As I play, I am noticing things here and there that I feel could be improved for a better UI and overall experience. One of those things is the current system for switching ammunition in a firefight.
Instead of right-clicking your turret and looking through the list of all the different types of ammunition available, why not have an 'Ammunition Hot Bar' above your high slots that you can you just click? Each type of ammunition would be represented by a circle filled with the color of the ammo type or first letter of the name - whatever works best. If you really wanted to get fancy, perhaps list the Optimal Range for each type above it. To clarify, you would have a bar with circles representing ammo types right above your High Slot bar on your UI. Above that, optimal ranges would be listed for each ammo type i.e. '61KM' etc.
Just a thought. Let the love or the hate fall like rain now! |

That's a great idea too. Honestly, just anything that would make it simpler would be nice. In a firefight, I don't want to be taking my attention off of my opponent deciding what type of ammo to use now - especially when there's more time wasted to reload my turrets (unless you're playing as Amarr, of course). |

Great question!
Perhaps the Ammunition Hot Bar can just be a set of slots that the user can drag and drop ammo types to from their inventory. That way, you can customize it for certain types of enemies. To expand on that idea, have a button on the side of the bar that filters through different bars you've customized.
For example, I can have a bar with ammo types for enemies with low Thermal/Kinetic Resists and another bar for enemies with low Explosive/EM resists that I can switch through by simple clicking the "Cycle Bar" button on the side of the hot bar. |
