Max Locked Targets (0) exceeded
I have recently begun to see this message during combat, and when it happens, I lose all my target locks. I am also unable to lock anything for a further 10-20 secs.
Have the rats learned some new tricks, or is it some sort of bug?

You're being jammed by the NPCs

I wondered if that was the case - but the fleeting onscreen message isn't particularly clear - also, there's nothing in the gamelog. I would, naively have expected to see something like "xyz is trying to target jam you"... similar to the warp scramble message.
Thanks for explaining so quickly!

CCP:
We NEED a status/buff bar. With small icons that say when you're being warp jammed, armor repped, someone's got gang modules active and what level they're are, etc., etc., etc.
Small, unobtrusive, part of the overview.

This is done by every other RPG game out there and should be added to EVE. If there is an effect on you there should be an icon somewhere. If you click on the icon it should tell you the values of said effect. Not having this sort of feedback in the UI is unprofessional.

The more hippo the better, I say.
Seriously though, this is something that should have been here since day one. Now that NPCs are doing these things, it makes sense for the sanity of those just picking up the game to be able to tell what the hell is going on when they suddenly can't target anything, or are moving at a snail's pace and can't warp away.
If the devs are looking for inspiration, how about looking at every other MMO out there for ideas. But I suggest something small with little unique icons that denote different statuses, and which give us some more information when we hover over each with a mouse pointer.
1. If it's from a player character in your gang, you see the exact percentage or amount of whatever the gangmate is doing to you (so you know how much you're being buffed, for instance).
2. If it's from an NPC or other player not in your gang, you see the effect but not the percentage or amount. In other words, you know you're beeing ewar'd, but not to what extent ("Captain, weapons and helm control is not responding.").
Other thoughts?

As stated before, doing this required the effects system rewrite and was planned as one of the benefits of that. The rewrite was done, so we're now in a position to be able to work on this.

I remember that, and thanks for mentioning it again even if it is, you know, *snort* "redundant". :)
Any idea on what kind of ETA we can look forward to this? I would recommend sooner rather than later, but that's just me. :)

Wouldn't everyone? You can't trick me into putting a date on it. All I know is that it was planned and wanted, and I've heard nothing to change that.

Not trying to trick anyone, just curious is all. :)
Man, I thought I was grumpy in the AM before my first coffee. :P

Interestingly enough, someone bought me a totally awesome coffee maker and grinder for Christmas, so I'm back drinking coffee again.
Of course the freshly ground stuff is vastly superior to the packaged variety. Dare I say, Tech 2.

Yeah i gotta agree that this is really needed. Is there by any chance that the UI design is going to be changed and improved coming up for KALI, something that could allow for greater expansion in adding new things on?

I just drank too much. I'm going cold turkey for a while and then hopefully take it up again at a more reasonable level.

Oddly, I did the same thing. You know you got it bad when you have splitting headaches on days you DON'T drink it.

You might want to consider tea instead. Contains only about half the amount of caffeine then coffee. Much easier on your stomach.

really bad move.
like any other form of "starvation diet" if you resume you will do so at an increased rate and end up drinking more then before.
Maybe you could try just filling the same # of cups onl;y 3/4 or half way instead :-p

This would be good (the status bar, not redun giving up coffee as that will likely result in a global ban and/or prizing everyone in empire space -10.0 sec  ). Currently pvp EW displays in the middle of the screen but its really cryptic and doesnt really tell you exactly what you got hit with as they all seem to be labeled electronic miscellaneous or something similarly vague.
