First of all, I would like to start this on a very positive note, I would like to thank CCP for all the changes brought on in Dominion and I would like to say I am very happy with the result of the graphics upgrade, and many other things as well, but this is not what this post is about.
Here is a proposal to update the current bookmark system, there has been some talk around this issue, here are some key things that stand out in my opinion:
1. Making bookmarks able to be flagged for Fleet,Corp,Alliance
2. Changing bookmark folders to databases which you can send to or receive coordinates from friendly pilots (through fleet or corp, etc...) without having create an item in your cargo, jet it, have the other pick it up and load it.
This game is how many millenia into the future with multi million ISK ships and we cant bluetooth a set of coordinates to each other? Now here is my suggestion, even if CCP can't upgrade the bookmark system on the next release, could we at very least take a huge step into improving it by calling it something other than "Bookmarks"?
I believe for RP and just for general game experience it would be better to call them "Coordinates" or something of the genre which sounds so much cooler then bookmarks... I encourage everyone to post ideas for the new naming convention as i think just renaming bookmarks to something else would be something very easy for CCP to pull off and it would improve the gaming experience greatly for players like me all around the universe.
Now i do vote for the CSM with all three of my accounts, and I do believe this is a valid issue with a very realistic request for change, I would greatly appreciate if the fine gentlemen of the CSM could support my proposal in order to have it brought to CCP's attention.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration, I do welcome any feedback you may have.

I can drag and drop a ship fitting into corp chat, have someone click on the link, review the fitting and then save it to their library of fittings.
Bookmarks should be similarly easy to share, in chat, in mail etc. Click .. see notes, option to add to People and Places.
Corp and Alliance BM's should be maintained as a separate tab by a director (or similar). You can drop from the corp list to your own list if you want (make a personal copy) but you cant add, delete or modify them unless you are a director.
Corps may assign the ability to add.modify/delete corp BM's to some members - typically those with good Astrometric skills etc. Anyone else would just have to send links in mail. "Ozone is blue and smells faintly of geraniums." (Qi, BBC TV) |

The way bookmarks work now is archaic and annoying. Would like to see a total overhaul, and agree that calling them something besides bookmarks makes sense.

Bookmarks are important enough to have a separate User Interface tool. I suggest changing the 'People & Places' U.I. tool for use as a 'Places' tool only where bookmarks will receive all the love they need. Perhaps the new 'Places' tool could be integrated with MoonDoggie. Better MoonDoggie bookmark management might be needed.
The other 'People & Places' components, such as 'Buddies', 'Blocked', 'Agents', and 'Corp Members' could be moved into the new EveMail tool. Those relocated components would function as in-box view filters appearing in the left column of the EveMail tool. Characters, whether NPC or actual, will, from then on, be forced to use the EveMail tool. I'll look forward to hitting the NPC agents with the CSPA charge.

Edited by: Kile Kitmoore on 06/12/2009 09:51:28 Lots of really good ideas floating around regarding the bookmark system. I completely agree that BM's should easily be dragged & dropped, whether it's a chat window or e-mail. I am unsure of all the suggestions made but here are some others to consider.
1. Allow users to copy BM's from the BM window onto the combat view, displaying an icon with it's text label (maybe even the ability to turn off text labels). Imagine access to a handful of BM's immediately without the need to scroll through the BM window or to even need it opened taking screen real estate. It would also be nice if the user can place these BM icons in any place within the combat view, maybe even set the icon size and/or even copying of BM folders. Kind of like what users do everyday when they create shortcuts on their desktops.
2. When editing the label of a BM Eve does not prevent you from using other windows.
3. Give users the ability to assign colors to BM's, nothing crazy just a small palette of colors. Naturally if the BM can not be used it still remains gray.
Hopefully CCP can take some time to start hammering out some of these critical game/UI changes. Nice thing about these kinds of changes, everyone benefits.

I just read the "Make mining worthy" thread up here on front page, and I feel this should not fall in the shadows of sillyness like that.
Thanks all so far for the support!

Supported on the condition that corp bookmark management be made a grantable role, so Joe Newguy can't **** up your collection.
