Everyone loves the Little Things initiative, which has been improving the quality of life for capsuleers with every release. While they may not be huge, headline features, everyone knows how big a boon something like drop-and-drag to fleet windows can be. Well, CCP karkur has been busy with the latest round of Little Things.
In her latest dev blog, karkur lets everyone know the amazing "Little Things" that are coming in Kronos.

In recent releases we have been cleaning up the Show Info windows little by little. In the Rubicon expansion we grouped the four damage resistance attributes for shield, armor and structure (hull) for ships and drones, giving you a cleaner and more consistent view of them. In the Kronos release we continue with that work, and now we group the damage types, sensor strengths, as well as other resistance attributes for all items, making them easier to read and reducing the clutter in the Show Info window. Just a small thing to show info window, if you look at damage controls. it has positive values. If you look at Hardeners / plates / amplifiers they have negative values... can we get that all positive or negative? Or does that link to whether it has stacking penalties or not? We have discussed it a little bit, so hopefully we can change it one day.

Regarding the "cooldown" timer... would have added it now if it wasn't for the damn bomb launchers (and maybe more) that can both be recharged and have a "cooldown". But let's see what we can do :)

Agent Olive wrote:3> you Karkur. I think it would be better if survey scanner was 'real time' though rather than having to click it that way you could make the lock on icons react better. It will still be confusing having delayed lock icons on rocks that dont exist Well, The icons are just the the same as the module icon. The work was to separate those 2 in the code so this was possible. Maybe at some point we can have new icons for the modules, but now now 
CynoNet Two wrote:Some nice stuff here.
Regarding the tackle icons... currently when this happens there's a notification that says "Warp Scramble Attempt", regardless if it's a scrambler or a disruptor. Is this being changed? No that is not being changed now (as far as I am aware), but it's something that we might want to look into in connection with this (I don't even know if Game Design would like to you know which on it is).

Also thanks for putting up as a dev blog before rolling it out - looking at you UI people....... UI people like me?
Rollo Brinalle wrote:One question I have is regarding overheating. Is how that is displayed going to be different? or is it more evident with the changes to the reload / repair timers? No, didn't touch that.
Iris Bravemount wrote:Any chance you could give us the "center camera" checkbox in the d-scan window back in Kronos ? I really miss that checkbox.  I'm afraid not 
Thank you all for the kind words  there are some pretty nice suggetions there, thanks for those too

The client doesn't *know* if the ship is being affected or not, it can approximate it but it only knows when it requests an action and the server says "yes" or "no". One of the ways we scale EVE to massive fights is that the server is not constantly checking this condition (and the client is not constantly asking for that check to be made to display in the UI), the server checks it when someone really wants to know, i.e., the pilot is a part of the state machine and triggers the check to be made.

In other words, if you click warp (or you get fleet warped), the client requests that action from the server, the server checks if there are any effects on your ship that might prohibit warping (for example your ship is in a bubble and not immune to it).
If so, the answer from the server to the client is 'no' and you don't warp. If not so, the answer from the server to the client is 'yes' and you happily warp away.
As for the upcoming Little ThingsGäó, the big changes are often wonderful, but it is these little improvements that really count in making EvE a better and more enjoyable place!....

Sure it may be "sketchy" at the edges, but such is life... and in the grand scheme of things this might actually decrease the request count to server by calming down some "OMG I NEED TO RUN NOWW" kind of people, if they notice that they are dead anyway... No, if we show an icon then it must be correct in all cases.
If we compare with being jammed or warp scrambled then player A initiates the action, the server checks if it is successful and then informs the victim's B client that the action is in effect and for how long it will be in effect. The client can then display this information.
When scrambled in a bubble then you are affected so long as you are inside the bubble. But you could be traveling inside the bubble for any amount of time. We only check when you try to warp if you can indeed warp. And then we check a number of things such as are you inside a bubble, is the cargo overloaded, etc, etc, and allow/deny the warp action.

I'm afraid not Too bad. Maybe later then ? It would really be a huge quality of life improvement, because I like to switch between centered and custom tracking position everytime I d-scan. you know there is a shortcut for that?

Hra Neuvosto wrote:Sweet changes.
So, how about an ability to switch between locked targets using the arrow keys? Possible? Yes... default shortcuts are ALT+4 / ALT+6 (on the numpad) or ALT+left, ALT+right, but you can remap it in the ESC window (under Navigation)

Otherwise, yay for little things. why would that be here? It has its own thread.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves that I cant tell which drones I just pulled in damaged, and which are fully functional and ready to go. Right now it's just a guessing game. I've taken a stab at it 3 times, it's a bit tricky
