I have to post this thread first to get the link to the thread, so I can publish the link to the thread in the dev blog. I then come back and edit the OP. You will notice that whenever we publish a blog, in the first few minutes, either there will be no link here, or no link in the dev blog.

Can I also get the GM / WM Extras for my rightclick menu?

Good job fishing for likes, I had almost caught up to you...

Actually, what would be really nice is having stations on a dedicated tab - spotting them in a huge list of celestials is a PITA.

Whilst you're at it, having the station-service items there would be handy too. Saves having to go through each one to find out which station has a repair service etc.

Sounds like it needs a UI expert to make the process simpler...

Will contact labels be visible through API?

re contacts, this is what I want:

you mouse over someone in local or wherever, and it pops up a little thing with whatever notes you have on them, so you don't have to show info.

While you are at the "Orbital Bodies" can you add a filter options so i can for example only see the stations or a specific planet type??

And maybe a "Tooltip" that shows the Station Services availible?

It is anoying as hell to always click through all stations till you find one with a repair service or a cloning service

Welcome back, you were missed. I love the new changes.

As someone who is often a scout, the 'how many are docked' is magical and makes my life so much better. My only concern will be finding my Jita trade alt to do direct trades. The list moves so fast, you have a much smaller area to click on.

I don't know who you are...
But I like you.

Nice

And now to be a horrible demanding person: Any chance of getting the ability to drag an autopilot route to your notepad, mail or chat window?

is there ever going to be a mass ship assembly/fitting tool?

or a thing to buy lists of modules (from a ship fitting, for example)? like a big table, showing the price of each thing you're after, letting you untick the scammy ones, or possibly have it automatically not buy things that are x% over regional average or something.


buying and fitting just 10 or so ships makes me want to kill myself, I don't know how the nullblob logistics people feel.

Sometimes people in fleets have different avoidance settings or so on.

Being able to have someone set the route, and drag it to show other people (without doing each system seperately) makes life easier. Not a hugely important change, tbh. Just a minor quality of life one.

Nice changes, any chance to get a BIGGER icons in the fleet window for broadcasting: Need Armor / Shield etc? They are soooooo small.

The worst "little thing" for me is not being able to 'show info' on someone i have a trade window open with. Can't click their name, can't click their portrait, nothing. Incredibly annoying.

Hi CCP Punkturis!
Did you ever get on Hello Kitty Online?
Is there a release date for 1.3 you can talk about yet?

If we are adding things on the right click menu how about the option to set destination/add waypoint from a freight container..?

My sanity will thank you so very much!

Ninja Edit: All the other stuff looks super nice! Thanks!

15 hours of sunshine on the 1st of may are you trying to kill your hardcore players ccp

other than that i really love the changes

Recently there was a change relating to creating contracts - you can now drag a character into the box for who the contract is for and it will automatically populate the box and set the contract type to private.

This is great however there is something missing - you can't do the same thing with the a corp - you can't even drag the corp into the box to populate it.

there does seem a tendency that contacts get removed from labels when you log off .. so you often have to do it twice for it too stick

Is there any chance we could get a copy ship fit to/from cilpboard like pyfa has. Would make it so much easier to import/export fits instead of going through import/export both in Eve and pyfa/eft.

Please, for the love of god:

Make it so I can refine ore/ice in a station container that stays in that container.

Start blueprint runs from inside a station container.

And reprocess within a station container.

I'm happy for the 75% of small things in this devblog

Compact list for stations... HELL YEA

Is the in station count not appearing until you click on the tabs a bug or is its current functionality the way it will be on TQ.

I would sacrifice a cute, furry animal on webcam for the ability to fit up to 100 identical ships at once.

UI wise, I'd like to be able to right-click an already open fitting window, and have the option "Assemble copies of this ship". Then, the game provides you one warning about rigs (if your UI is set up to do so), then brings up something like the manufacturing materials needed interface, showing only your repackaged hulls and repackaged modules and ammo and repackaged drones and rigs.

If you have enough materials, it assembles all the ships for you and names them "Talos 1" "Talos 2"... "Talos 23". If you don't have enough materials, it gives the same feedback on what you are missing as the manufacturing window.

Great, let them know which type of animal to forward too :)

A bug report was submitted number unknown. Use case most effect is players that combine ships and items tabs in the station menu.

And while your at it, could you also give the refine window an isk total much like the item windows.... PLEASE :)

Also, Could you tell us what it would take to get a team of you and clones like you working on little things like this full time non-stop year round, instead of just in your free time...?

Welcome back! Baby pic or it didn't happen.

All great stuff, making the game more logical.

However, please help me witha small change to the overview:

Can we change "Add to Overview" in the right click menu to have two options "Add to all Overview Tabs" plus "Add to active overview tab only"? That would make the job of customising your overview easy, rather than the fight against the UI it is now. It seems like this would be possible, without changing the format or structure of the underlying XML?

Perhaps having the ability to lock a tab in the overview from being changed/added to would do the same thing but could require something that changes the underlying XML

Since this seems to be turning into the new Little Things thread:

Can you make it so I can click my name at the top of Character Sheet to show info on myself please?

RE: Label when adding contact

Wow, almost! Being able to add the group label when adding the contact is a good step....

...now can I get that label to display on the portrait when the player signs on/off?

Situation: Player has 200+ contacts all mix of standings. Now way to tell if those 3 reds that just signed on are titan pilots, merc's, old frienamies, possible hot drop targets, etc. On the other hand that blue pilot that just signed on, are they in my corp? alliance? high sec industrial contact? Arg, cant tell, have to click on -every-single-portriat- to view the lables.

Solution: Similar to how the standings display at the bottom of the portrait w/ a red/blue background have the first 8 to 16 characters of the label display across the top of the portrait. transparent gray background with the text overlaid.

Follow up: CCP Punkturis, will you be attending fanfest?

TIA

Thanks for everything you do! You're one lucky punk!

As soon as I saw this image, a question leapt to mind...

What is the distinction between preference menus which have a gear icon (chat, station guests, etc.), and preference menus which have a 4-line icon? (drones, mail, inventory index pane, etc.).

The only obvious one is gears go on the right side, and 4 lines go on the left. Otherwise, do they need to be different?
