Looking at the image of agents, it does not seem as though you can click on the individual agent to see if you are able to use it. I see the link for the system but that is all. Is that correct?

The System search could use a type in search block.

Is this available through the normal UI? When I tried it on the test server I had to waste 20-30 seconds doing a slow walk to the couch every time I wanted to use this feature :(

If the agent is not available to you, the portrait and the text is faded out

---

Thank you! Do you know if locator agents can be searched for with the tool yet?

Any plans to add them

gonna quote myself from the GD thread:

It'd be nice to be able to filter by region, constellation, number of jumps from current location, or by sovholder. The solar system search by itself is a bit...obtuse.

There should be a special filter for R&D agents allowing you to filter them by field.

Also i noticed that the 'security' only filters to highsec, lowsec, and nullsec; it'd be nice if there was a more advanced filter allowing you to set the exact system security.

The agent level buttons at the top should be a bit bigger and easier to click.

---

there should also be a filter for locator agents as well

I'm sure it's been said already but why not add a region filter as well? Or 'within x jumps' filter? Sometimes you're looking for an agent within a particular favourite area.

I think the animation is pretty cool, we were able to do that easily because of CarbonUI!

---

Oh for f's sake, animation? Nice to look at for three seconds, and after that it'll only ever slow a search down. There's an option to turn it off, right?

Good work.

"filtered by the faction that has the best standings towards you"

This can be changed?

I for example have great minmatar and good gallente standings but am in gallente space and its listing agents rather far away all the time.

So the only reason for destroying the agent variety was to allow the agent finder to function for the release of CG?

Hi CCP Punkturis,

any chance of getting an answer to this?

Very nice! The only thing missing is the ability to limit the search to a region. Right now we only have the choice between the whole universe or one solar system!

The new agent finder, even its current form, is terrific. However, I do dislike the images, and much would rather see a grid-style view like pretty much every other aspect of the game which deals with raw data. 6/5 stars on this part of the game, AND your services in this thread!

I wanted to make it less spreadsheets-in-space-right-clicky and more "here's what you need to see, just click it"

Also, thank you, I try my best to help

---

Thing is I don't need to see their faces. That's meaningless to me. Sorting by distance is great though.

Two things I'd like to suggest in regards to usability (Since this is what you're aiming for I guess);

1- Increase the clickable area around the numbers representing the levels. Its a bit too small. I know the arrow can be dragged, but my mind works on "I want level 4. I'll click 4).
2- Have the option to show "All Levels" as going down from 4 to 1 to see a valid agent is awkward.
2.a- Allow the sorting by purely distance, and another option to sort by level then distance.

I've been taking some of the feedback here and made improvements on the agent finder. One of it being Region filter (no locator agents filtering yet, sorry). Will be deployed soon

---

I would also like to see the locator agents more easily, but obviously doesnt come in todays patch... When is soon?
