twice in a day ?

Couple of questions:
- Will plotting routes with the autopilot now include jump bridges?
- Will it be possible to reconnect to drones even if you leave system (or dock in a station) and come back? What about carriers - can they reconnect to fighters off-grid?

There's sometimes a bug on sisi currently which obstructs you from picking up another players drones if they're still "connected" or think they are, have you QA-ed that this doesn't obstruct players from picking up other players drones in space?

I'll try and test it.

I do have one question though:

Does "loot all" sort the items before moving them to your cargo? If so what's the order?

Currently on TQ, if you recall your drones but warp off before they've reached you, then you'll still be linked to them even though you're off grid. They'll still just sit there, but if you return to grid you can give them commands again.

I don't know if that was a bug or feature, but I suspect this might be what is preventing you from scooping some drones that look like they're abandoned.

Hooray for Team Papercuts! That's some good changes and it's good to know the Altanta office is still up and functioning (extremely well it seems) after the layoffs recently.

I think you should have plumped for something different from Papercuts though, people might get confused with Team BFF's 1000 Papercuts project. Team Atlantis as a pun on the location?

Well done, Team Papercuts.

Though, is there any way we could get pan-to-target back as something that a person might do on purpose?

And that's really only a very small part of what needs to be done in the realm of camera control.

I'm going to disagree with all these folks, though. You did a great job. Please go back to what you're doing and keep playing EVE. If you worked on EVE full-time, we all know you'd end up like those hopeless squares in Team BFFs.

But maybe we can do this again sometime.

Am I blind or is the market history tab missing from the market? What happened to it?

Take my money CCP - TAKE ALL OF IT!

*thumbs up to changes*

1.) will corp hangars and whatnot stay open between gate jumps as well as docking and undocking?

hey CCP Soulblighter, could you possibly consider adding jump commands to bookmarks as well? Would be nice for somewhat simplifying travel through multiple wormholes to empire space. Those K-space guys have it easy.

Here are my niche suggestions:

1. Allow us to group different types of drones together in the drone window! I don't know just how many people it would affect, but I have had certain situations where that would have saved me a lot of clicking.

2. Could you possibly give us a small feature that might allow us to transfer drone control to another player as long as they have sufficient drone bay capacity to actually recall them? Losing your drones sucks. Having to dock up or have someone abandon some just to get more is a minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.

3. Can you take a quick look at why drones keep dropping your commands just after they pop something? Far too often have I assigned my drones a new target only to see 2-3 of them either go idle after I issue the command if they're on passive, or choose a different target if they're on aggressive. I assume that the problem lies with EvE waiting a certain amount of time after a target is destroyed to issue drones the new default command. Could you decrease that time or remove it altogether? Since you actually play EvE, I pray that one of you is a drone boat fan and shares my pain. I know many others do...

Can you tell I like drone boats?

4. Could you possibly add the ability to pre-activate non-offensive modules while cloaked? Similar to how you can prep your Siege Missile Launchers or Target Painters, could you also allow us to prep, say, a Damage Control or Sensor Booster? Emphasis on the Sensor Booster. I mean like...EXTREME emphasis on the Sensor Booster. And propulsion modules.

This is my wishlist for the incredible Team Papercuts.

Please address second half of this. 10 pages and no mention

I brought up 5 incredibly crucial suggestions, all of which got ignored and many after me were responded to instead.

I like these devs, they've done more in 3 weeks(based on importance) than CCP has ever done in half a year during my EvE experience. But I'm slightly irked at getting ignored like that. Seriously, that drone commands problem is a HUGE problem that irritates a lot of people.

INB4 butthurt YES I'm severely butthurt at the moment.


EDIT: See? Someone just complained about it above me.

Drones: I don't want my ECM drones coming back to me as i'm trying to warp off (though I should be alligned anyway) I want those drones jamming that motherf***** for as long as they possibly can! ~ just a thought.

^This.
And Chocolate.
What do you want to stay ? I am sure we can bring it.

I like all the stuff you guys are doing, but I was a little concerned by this. Often, I do "flyby" scoops where there are a cluster of wrecks or drones sitting in space and I'll line up a course that passes through them. Then I'll do quick scoops/loots as I pass through, but I keep my alignment so that I can warp away quickly if necessary. This change sounds like if I try that, my alignment will be instantly screwed up. If something is in range and thus I don't actually have to move, does my ship alignment change? What if I'm sitting still? Am I understanding it correctly? If I am, there needs to be an option to NOT move towards something.

Wouldn't it been easy to have a checkbox "use alliance JB or not" in the auopilot settings ???

or was it too difficult due to the fact of calculating the route?

what was the issue in that not being done?

im curios :)

Everyone owes you a bow for excellent customer service in EVE. Hilmar - take note.

Bows are unnecessary, but we'll gladly accept beer.

Hmm... Team Papercuts..


Ever thought about adding the options to have a button for capital ships.


Rorqual
- Ship Maintenance Bay
- Corporate Hangar
- Ore Bay

The button would be just like the "Open Carghold" button, only for other spots to stash sh*t at. It's rather annoying to have to right click, find the damn link, click it, and then go do what you wanted to do.


^ That would make all the carebears, and even some PvP'ers who use supers/titans for a station, very happy.

I absolutely love this but have one important question.

Does the anomaly despawn affect anomalies that have been ran in w-space?

This affects me as I will be able to sit cloaked in my ambush spot in an anomaly, whilst waiting for a lovely Noctis to appear without worrying that they will know I am there because the anomaly has not despawned yet.

And am REALLY looking forward this Expansion!

Now, I've played about on SiSi and noticed what might be a bit of a usability issue with the "jump" command.
I misclicked and hit the wrong stargate by mistake and clicked jump, then realised what I'd done wrong but too late to cancel warp. I didn't appear to get an opportunity to cancel the jump at all.

37 minutes to read a concern on the forum, pinpoint the problem, implement a fix and post a reply. I'm feeling faint!

You guys are setting quite a standard for the other dev teams to live up to.

Awesome job team papercuts!

One small question: will there be any Hot-key and/or Context menu (on the can) for the "LOOT ALL: button?

This is much nicer than "Select all and drag" method, but opening two dozen cans can slow down the client and therefore makes it harder to remain productive.

Keep up the good work!

Team Papercuts: did you know that if you have a skill partially trained this isn't taken into account in the show info prerequisites tab? For long skills this could make a misleading difference. Evemon can work this out, so should the EVE client! :)
