What's Bothering Boiglio Now
Drones
* After 3+ years, it STILL baffles me why I know more about my drones' state of repair when they're in space rather than in my bay. All this time into the future and rather than having my drones hooked up to some sort of monitoring device while they're in my own ship, the best that technology can offer me is peeking out a theoretical spaceship window and saying "Oh look, one of my drones seems to have no armor"? Really?
* Why can't I assign a drone to more than one group? Couldn't labels or tags be used to facilitate this somehow?
UI/Inventory Management
* Please, for the love of internet spaceships and all that is holy, give me the ability to right click my current ship in station and have an INSURE command. Scrolling through the list of all my pre-fitted pvp ships in station to find the one I'm currently in and planning on taking out is both time-consuming and so easily fixed.
* I'm willing to volunteer my time and self-described excellent skills with a Sharpie to go over each module icon in Eve and put a small number in one corner that corresponds to the meta level of each module. Having to look each one up repeatedly does absolutely nothing towards my enjoyment of Eve, and the idea of quizzing myself with module flashcards to memorize them doesn't appeal either. Why not make it easier to sort loot, fit ships, organize inventory by giving us that information graphically right on the icon?
* Some ability to change the size of the session timer spinner. If I want to make it four inches in diameter in the middle of my screen, shouldn't I be able to do that if I choose? Better yet, change it from a spinning circle to a text notification with the digital countdown, along the same lines as an aggression timer.
Possibly EveGate?
* Why can't any group that has a mailing list schedule activities/events for that group on a calendar? NGOs exist in Eve just as they do out of it, and I fail at understanding how preventing them from coordinating easily promotes social interaction in Eve.
Offered up with the best of intentions, and many many good wishes for everyone who cares enough to make the Eve experience a better one for all.
