This is why I say the default value in the EVE client should be "Collapse", because that's how it's been for years now, and that's what the majority of players are used to when double-clicking a window title bar. Changing this default for Windows players from "Collapse" to "Maximise" will absolutely **** off the majority of the player base.

I see where you are going - slight disconnect there. For existing installations, yes, it should be retained as it was. But, if somebody is creating a new account (And yes, the client knows if you're logging in for the very first time on account) it should behave like the most prevalent host OS for EVE gamers. So that new players will have the intuitive user interface they are used to.

• First and foremost û NO AVATAR because I and many others still cannot access the Character Creator. Give us a random Avatar suitable to our bloodline until either there is a fix, until we can upgrade our system or buy a new one, or until Incarna launches.


• Every time I enter login or dock, my hangar defaults to the ships tab in the Station Panel. It used to default to the last open tab. This is very annoying.


• Claiming a Certificate flashes the Character tab even when you are STILL IN THE CERTIFICATE WINDOW. This is ridiculous. I just claimed it. I donÆt need to be notified that I did so. Instead, flash the Character tab when there is a certificate available. THAT would be useful.


• Flashing the Wallet and the Wallet Tab, the Orders Tab, and the Transactions Tab every time I purchase or sell something WITH THE WALLET OPEN is also ridiculous. When the Wallet is open, just flash the main tab and then turn it off. I already know that thereÆs a change.


• The timer to switch ships needs to be shortened.


• Warping to zero at a gate sometimes leaves you sitting just short of jump range. This is not only annoying but can get you destroyed in certain circumstances.


• Why can AutoPilot NOT warp to zero? Who would design something like that? At least if it wonÆt/canÆt jump to zero, have AutoPilot automatically use afterburners (if fitted of course) or have an option to use/not use if for some reason you donÆt want to have the AB kick in.


• MORE FONTS (see how slyly I slipped that in there?)


• Why do I have to be asked for every single item whether I really want to repackage it? What difference does it make? For ships, the warning is appropriate, but not for other items. Allow us to turn off the warning for items other than ships. It's time-consuming as hell if you're repackaging multiple items and a real PITA.


• On the subject of repackaging, why canÆt we select multiple items to be repackaged (excluding ships)?


• Give some way to distinguish our buy & sell orders in the Market window. Flash them, or add an icon, asterisk, star, ANYTHING so that you can see at a glance which are yours.


• Having to restart the client to LOGOUT and SWITCH Characters (Yeah, I know this isnÆt a minor issue but itÆs still annoying as Hell). There should be four options:
  
  1. Logout to Character Select û On the same account.
  
  
  2. Logout to Account Select - A new screen that keeps the client loaded but allows switching accounts. (Idk if this is possible but it sure would be nice.)
  
  
  3. Restart the Client - Same as the current Logout but used to fix bugs, reset something thatÆs broken, etc.
  
  
  4. Quit the Game û Obvious


• Different classes of stars should have different light.


• Allow the Queuing of new skills IF the prerequisite skill(s) are already ahead of it in the Queue. Should the prerequisite skill(s) be removed, the new skill is automatically removed from the Queue too. Simple.


• When an action requires training to be paused, automatically pause it and restart when the action is complete. Having to switch to training and pause it manually, then restart it manually is just plain, well, annoying.


• Allow the training on another character on the same account to be paused/resumed without having to switch to that character. The Training window could have all active characters on the account listed at the top. The character actively training should be indicated and an option for each character to pause or to resume training should be available. (If a characterÆs queue is empty, that should be indicated too, perhaps by graying-out that character).


• Add a checkbox to mute audio element in the Options Panel so the sliders can be left at your preferred settings (especially the music).

• The Overview
  
  
  
  1. Sort order reverts to reverse order at random
  
  
  2. Sort order is not preserved 'per-tab'
  
  
  3. The distances represented by the overview are not an accurate representation of the distance of objects on grid
  
  
  
  


• Inventory
  
  
  
  1. personal search does not look inside of containers or ships for items. It should be easy to say "yes you have 3 of those in the ship X in station Y".
  
  
  2. corporate search does not look inside of containers or ships for items. Again this is very annoying for those of us that like to keep things neat with station containers and carriers.
  
  
  
  

1. If non-faction member enter a plex or the bunker, then give the following warning every 10 seconds: 'You entered a military zone, you have 30/20/10/0 seconds to leave this area! Staying here any longer is a criminal action!' After 30 seconds (4 messages) the non-faction pilot is marked as GCC for the usual 15 minutes. This will solve the problem of neutrals doing FW-plex etc.



2. Faction rats in plexes should switch targets if they notice that they can't kill the current target after some period of time. Non-faction members are treated as hostile faction members if they are GCCed. This resolves the lame strategy of simply running a lvl 4 plex with just two frigs, one speed tanker and the other doing the damage.



3. Faction pilots are not allowed to dock in stations which are in occupied systems of the hostile faction or which are in hostile factions high-sec. This will make occupations having a meaning, since people will defend the right of being able to dock in their favourite systems.



4. Allow cloaking in enemy factions high-sec, this sounds fair for me if the above change is implemented. And it brings some more fun because of possible stealthy operations.

Agree on option.

Disagree strongly on default setting. It should behave like the OS most EVE players would be using.

I've edited my post since -- individual was talking about maximise vs. collapse, not minimise. My bad.

As for what the default setting should be: sorry, I disagree, and your argument is evidence that you've never used X.org/X Windows (Linux, etc.) before. Under X, the collapse vs. maximise feature is entirely dependent upon what window manager the user chooses (and there are literally hundreds of window managers), and all behave differently -- some don't minimise or collapse, some do things which are completely unique to that WM. A WM is literally a completely different UI. What I'm trying to say is that on X, there really is no standard, thus there is no effective default to choose in that environment.

This is why I say the default value in the EVE client should be "Collapse", because that's how it's been for years now, and that's what the majority of players are used to when double-clicking a window title bar. Changing this default for Windows players from "Collapse" to "Maximise" will absolutely **** off the majority of the player base.

Is it possible to show which turret is locked on a target? For example in the "Locked Targets" shown in the main Eve Game Play window maybe have the turret number appear as a superscript by the small turret icon that is displayed next to the locked target. I think this help when I'm out mining from multiple asteroids and need to disengage a laser on an asteroid that is nearly depleted.
