With the coming expansion, EVE Online: Rubicon, we will improve the character selection screen and replace it with a brand new version!
Read all about the new character selection screen and its improved functionality in CCP Fear's new dev blog here.

I quite liked it as well. What I miss though is that the last pilot was default so you could just press Enter to select/log in.
Bring that back pls.

You could have it so initially Enter selects the left most, and Tab changes what would be selected via Enter.

Stop being lazy! 
Also, that's the plan... that Enter enters the game with the left most character (since we order them by logoff time)

Looks good, works good.
An option to lock the location would be nice becouse it goes by past log in time I have logged in the same character a couple times when trying to switch.
With news now only on the launcher, a Neocom short cut to either the current news using the browser or a link out side the news scroll to the last weeks "This week in EVE" Forum post would make it easier for those that do not go in the CC or the forums to find this info. |

Love how you can see the time remaining on subscription! It's weirdly hard to find that information unless you're low on time. Would also love for it to be added to the Pilot's License tab on the character sheet, but that's outside the scope of this post. |

Its not time of subscription, unless it does but will not show if auto renew is setup. Its the extra training time for 2nd and 3rd characters. |

This is great, but could you add a switch character button to the menu?

No. We would love to be able to do that, but that is not at all a "character selection screen" issue.
Once a connection has been made, both the server code and client code make a lot of assumptions that the characterID will not change, and it's very far from trivial to change that (otherwise we probably would have done that a long time ago)

i really like it. The banners are back too which is nice.
the first time i saw the new screen it i hoped you added a parallax effect and i tried to move my mouse around ;) Maybe this would be an option for further improvement without making load times worse.

Hey there!
Definitely understood that it's a non-trivial change and not in the scope of this dev blog (which is awesome, by the way!), and definitely don't expect it to come out of the blue. Still, if it could be kept on the radar, that'd be brilliant. Juggling multiple accounts with multiple characters can be sometimes headache-inducing, with the launcher being relogged into various accounts so that I can swap to new cynos, haulers, whatnot.  This would be one of those quality-of-life changes that I think many players would appreciate.
If I Fanfest this year, I'll absolutely bribe any dev involved in this effort with booze of their choice.

Alright, but is this issue something you guys are keeping in mind as you are rewriting mentioned code? It would indeed be nice to have a proper log off button that takes you back to the character selection screen.

So, for those of us with computers that aren't pre-millennium, can we get the full character load screens as an option? |

Regarding character selection: The way I'd like to see this done is to give users a command-line option to the launcher that lets you pass in the account name to be pre-populated. Then, if I want to manage 3 characters (and I do  ), I can have 3 *shortcuts*. That still saves clicks vs. using the switch-account feature.
At that point, it'd also be nice to have the launcher close on play (maybe a checkbox next to the auto-play checkbox?).
Edit: Just had another thought. You know how with Office, you can right click and go straight to a doc? How about showing your auto-complete account list when you right click on the launcher shortcut on the taskbar? |

Only one little thing immediately coming to my mind: "Add Character" is centered, while the character name(s) are not. I'd center them all and only use left alignment, if a name doesn't fit into the box (or possible make it scroll then instead).
Looking for more thoughts? Follow me on Twitter. |

You're talking about custom tasks when right clicking a pinned launcher? That would be neat! Although it might be a possible security problem. :(

Could you work on that instead?
Being able to switch characters without having to completely close the client and log in again would be much more useful than spending your time on making the screen players try to get past as fast as possible when you're logging in look nice. |

I'd agree with that too - despite long load times. CCP would need a Full body character renderer to supplement the portrait renderer, but it could be faded from a static image to the 3D model the same way the "card" based character select screen in Dota 2 does it once the character is loaded.
Hell, you could even have a pre-rendered video of the characters (generated locally on the client) doing their idle animations and save load-times.

ATM the news item (CCP Guard with DevBlog 1 of 2) is to big. It's also hides the ship/system/station info. Can you maybe display it on the side or something? |

Apart from the reason she explained, that's something which has been asked for a lot over the last 10+ years. I'm guessing once all the server-side code has been modernised, it would be possible then.
I'd expect to see that some time in 2024...

So did you add an ability to see your entire training queue, or the total time till completion? Or still just the most recent skill?
What about hiding the characters etc. to show the full background?
