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?

I want the ability to turn OFF the jukebox and play music from my own playlist!

No cooldown timer for MJD, cloak, bomb, remote ECM burst?

Ah it's all about the little things and looking forwards to seeing these along with all the other changes in Kronos.

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?

Yay, hope you like it :D

\o/

Reload timers, when you're in tidi, are so important

But what if hovering the cursor with an attached dragged item over a channeltab causes the chatwindow to jump to said channel?

Looks good.

Any chance you could give us the "center camera" checkbox in the d-scan window back in Kronos ? I really miss that checkbox.

Going by the screenshot, it looks like the visual difference between a scram and disruptor isn't as significant as say, afterburners and mwd's when that little change took place.

Should change the blue on the icon to red for the scrambler.

Info Window Cleanup

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.

Little things are very fine. Thank you very much.




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?

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 :)

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

Also thanks for putting up as a dev blog before rolling it out - looking at you UI people.......

screenshot for show info grouping is just showing damage controll II so nothing new in there or am I blind?

Could you PLEASE take another serious look at the tooltips and bracket selection in space? What we have now is a total mess.

As I said in the other thread, we are still looking into it.

could you also please add drone control range to the attributes tab??

Not sure if I understand since this is Damage Control I... but no, the only thing there is 3 neat lines rather than 12 lines.

Yay, hope you like it :D

The Jump Clone locations in the Character Sheet have been given a proper right-click menu, allowing you to set the autopilot destination from there

Ok this is fun! I'm gonna suggest more stuff!

I am sitting in Null and a neut enters local. Can you add an option to flash the player list box in the chat box every time someone enters or exits the list. That way I can Rat and enjoy the pretty explosions without having to directly look at the box every few seconds.

Still no way to tell when your ship is effected by a bubble.

Not a Little Thing and not a UI thing. 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.

Collapsing Windows

Have you ever misclicked in the Selected Item window, collapsed it, panicked and lost your ship as a result? No, me neither; but for those of you who are maybe not as amazing at clicking as I am, we have changed the collapse functionality of all windows so now they are only collapsed if their header area is double-clicked, and not if any empty space in them is double-clicked. DonGÇÖt worry, you can still drag windows around by grabbing any empty space.
I hope that will save you a few capsules and ships.

Who do i talk to to get the types of rocks I need to mine (plus the system level where they are found) added to the materials info page. This is still a stumbling block in the tutorials.

you implying that even if one can hover over buble with mouse and see one's distance to it, it cannot have an icon appear or disappear purely on clientside according to the this finite count of numbers? ... please.

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...

Why not center your camera with the existing camera tracking widget?

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.

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)

I feel dumb now, thanks.

Not to harp on a subject, but I'm not seeing anything about cleaning up the current tool tip system. As it is still a complete mess and is in desperate need of a not-insignificant amount of work.

Otherwise, yay for little things.

Any chance that we'll get indicators for the shield/armor/hull of drones currently in our dronebay, just like the ones in space, in the next couple releases.

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

why would that be here? It has its own thread.

I would like to see a color highlight, similar to the market screen for PI POCO's that the corp, or you, own...maybe color coded by standing?


Is this doable?

I just logged in to say:

HI CCP, you awesome ******* Viking bastards!

We have come a long way from summer of 2011. From the time when we were angry and felt betrayed and ridiculed by you and the misdirection of your resources, to this moment. The moment where most of us community are only left with one ******* option:

ALL BOW DOWN AND PRAISE TEH MIGHTY ICELANDIC GODS OF CCP!!!
Great ******* job, and I cannot explain nor express properly how proud of you I am. I also thank you for making me proud of myself, for sticking with you guys for nearly 8 years now.

I wish you only the best in the future, and hope you continue being an awesome and unique bunch in the MMO world.

CCP karkur, CCP Punkturis and CCP Affinity are the best. When it comes to delivering joy they give the Yule Lads a run. And we don't even have to wait for Xmas Eve. All year is like Xmas EVE.
