1. Make it an option to invert zoom direction on mouse wheel (scroll up = zoom in, not out)
2. When killing/salvaging/losing a target, do not automatically select a new target (lost a lot of wrecks this way)

what... u mean like this photograph of earth

LOL!

Thought of another one: You know that little corner icon that shows us if an item is T2/Deadspace/Faction/Officer whatever? Can we please, please have that simply display the meta level of the item? I want to be able to tell Meta3 and Meta4 items at a glance.

Please.

It can't be hard.

Too lazy to read through all of this stuff, but put forth the suggestion in the Ideas & Suggestions a little while back where you could have a reconnect with lost drones button like there is on scanner probes. Would make it nice to reconnect to them if you get disconnected from the server for one reason or another. All that flying to them to scoop them is a pain in the behind.

We're sitting in closed eggs full of fluid inside the ship. What cockpits?

I'd rather see a camera fixed to the ship in some place (preferably different places for different ships), so you get the "almost first person" view, but you still can see parts of the ship if you look around. This wouldn't have any practical applications other than Looking Cool. :)

I would love shorter skill training time. Some skills takes up to 30 days would be awesome if you guys make it 20 for example.

Directional scanner needs a slight UI overhaul.

Two things:

The distance box needs to be a slider, in 1AU increments. 1AU-15AU.

The angle slider should create a visible in-space ring so you can see where you're aiming. It's not that I don't already know (click on your own ship, zoom out, and use that to center yourself), but really, it's an unnecessary obstacle to learning how to use your directional scanner.

Slider would be indeed dumb, just lose the kilometers from the input box and make it in AU, there's no real reason you would need kilometers there for anything that you couldn't input in AU as well - and it saves you converting units all the time.

Visible ring... We already know roughly where the scan angle ends anyway even without it, this wouldn't really change anything that much.

Need a way to reconnect to drones if you had a disconnect, socket closed or whatever else might happen.

You try to take a domi out to save your expensive drones before they get blown up because you have no way of reconnecting to them.

The skill Astronautic Engineering was, apparently, added by mistake, does nothing, and is not available.
Another skill (Social -> increases Concord bounties on NPCs (if I remember right)) - same story.

Leaving broken, non-functional, non-available items in the game might be a good idea if you had a plan for adding them to the game.
IMO there are a few dozen players who will consider this great fun, and place buy orders worth Billions for an item that will never exist;
and many thousand who just consider this an annoying bug which will just confuse inexperienced Eve players even more.

I love that vid! That's the old smartbomb effect. Something between the 2 would be good

Fitting a standard cloak should stop the passive recharge of shields and stop the recharge of the capacitor.

This has little to no effect on sub-capitals (make Black Ops immune to this?), but will be a nice nerf to cloaking capitals who like to vanish in a puff of smoke because they made it to a safe spot and cloaked. Then just waited till they had enough capacitor to jump out. The exit strategy should carry more risks.

This game needs an easier way of making bookmarks. I suggest an option on the drop down right click menu in space. Much faster than with selecting people and Places menu

(more) Stuff regarding Cloak/Gate cloak:

- I jump through after someone and have to doubleclick something in a random direction (because it's quicker than finding and selecting a celestial/ship to give a command to approach/orbit/whatever) and wait for the server to possibly acknowledge that I did in fact doubleclick in order to break the gatecloak in order to start locki-- oh nvm they've pressed one button while I was typing this and warped off to safety. If I've got gate cloak and I'm trying to target someone, I guarantee you my intention is to simultaneously decloak.

- Pre-heating modules before I break gate cloak. Yeah yeah, I can use a couple clumsy keybinds and or keyboard macros to immediately mwd back to/away from the gate. Currently I have to select the gate, hit approach, find the tiny green arc above the mwd (or splay my fingers into some crushed-spider configuration across some ctrl+alt+shift+scroll lock+ the Any key combo), hit that ickle wee green arc with surgical precision ... andnow I can activate the module itself. Two seconds have passed ... and I'm already scrammed by a Stiletto, having gained no momentum.

- You fail you fail you fail you fail you fail you fail to jump because you are cloaked alsdfja;lskdgh;alkdn;ahj

HOLY WALL OF **** TEXT

sorry was this thread for illiterate people who need bright colors and CAPSLOCK!!11!!!!1!! to grasp a common well phrased passage of text?

I gave some love to the quickbar as well so you can more easily add and organize items, as well as being able to drag those items to link in chat.
