As with everyone else, I am fairly impressed with these simple but needed changes. Props for getting on and doing them :)
One thing that niggles me (and I read through most of this thread to see if anyone else said it so if you did, sorry)
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.

Pure Awesomeness!
Here are some things still to do, i f you still have the time, pretty please:
- Add "promote to waypoint" option in the autopilot GUI, preveting this stupid "add to waypoint"->F10->AP->waypoints->optimize->F10 madness, drives me crazy always.
- Add a corphangar/shipbay icon please to selected appropriate ships, so we can open an orca's corp hangar or SMB just like a can in space. Makes it a lot easier and straightforward
- Could the "Loot everything" button have a shortcut please? Like Y-clicking it, or something (pressing a button + click on it)
- JB routes: Could we please have on some level allies' JBs as well? Like we have a couple of blues down there and we're always using each others' JBs, every time. Maybe needs some criteria.
- Can we (=jump capable pilots) have an addition icon to fleet members who have an actively running cyno? Maybe hot buttons on his face to jump/JB to him.
- Default chatwindow preferences? When i get a new convo, i always have to adjust the input box's size and switch to no-icon lines.
Nice job done so far, please don't stop. I vote for keeping you here and continuing your work on Small Gods :)

These are the most exciting features since I started playing EVE!!
Yes, I'm serious. No new ships or anything else is going to top that.
Usability and the little things are what counts for me to play EVE more often.
Great job so far, even if the UI itself has still some serious flaws, it's getting better with these kind of things!

In the spirit of the dev blog:
"0h hai! We have a revolutionary idea! Next expasion we are only adding features to address issues! Yes we will have new content for PVE because guess what? That seems to be an issue!"
No but really... If we ever get an expansion of stuff like this, miltary experts will be calling it the best patch EVER. Ieven have a name for it: Marathon. Adding / addressing content over the course of an entire fiscal quarter..1 patch every other week give or take.

These small changes are all better than the last three expansions - and the upcoming one - are together. This is the kind of stuff CCP should be doing non-stop, and not adding alot of useless crap that never gets iterated on.
Team Papercut is now officially the best CCP team, by miles.

The feature where drones attempt to return to you is only in effect if you emergency warp (i.e. you disconnect). If you're disconnected, we'll essentially issue a 'recover drones' commend in an attempt (note: they may not make it back in time!) to save your drones before you e-warp. This doesn't apply to player-initiated warps.
Regardless, you will now also be able to reconnect to your drones if you accidentally leave them behind an return to the grid they are on. A very cool feature....

You guys *&*@ rock. It only took you 7 years but finally...finally... I don't have to smash my keyboard in rage of losing 25M in drones when my connection drops. Nice work on other improvements too... love the missile info, jb info and all the other stuff that makes flying spaceships fun rather than a grind. |

Feature Request:
- Allow us to start multiple votes to lock/unlock BPOs if multiple BPOs are selected when a vote to lock/unlock is initiated.
- Allow us to register multiple votes simultaneous if multiple open votes are selected when a yes/no vote is cast.
This request would address the issue of wanting to move offices, but being unable to because you've managed to lock down some 800+ BPOs over the years and don't want to get carpal tunnel going through the 2400+ mouse clicks (and miles of scroll wheel usage) currently required to unlock them all prior to unrenting the office in question. |

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.

Flyby scoops are still possible. If you're in range already, nothing new happens. It'll approach if you're out of range to open the can. |

Ok, another post from me in this (What is soon to be a historical love thread)...
LOOK - another post by a dev literally addressing every single concern a player might have about this change/feature.
I mean it, I went through all 17 pages, and any concerns raised about said features (not begging for other stuff items) was addressed by these guys.
Holy crap!
You guys are so low key about it too.
I am speechless.

Hopefully Soulblighter won't have to correct me, but I understand it like this:
If you are not in range, you will approach the can, and open it.
If you are already in range, your fly-by will not be interrupted.
Since you're doing a relatively complicated maneuver, you will occasionally experience hiccups. The old hiccup would've been "I missed that can". The new hiccup will be "whoops, missed it, now I'll turn around and go back".
[EDIT] HAH, Soulblighter is faster than me. |

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?
Sorry, autopilot routes will not include jump bridges. I looked into what that would take briefly and decided that it fell a little too far outside the scope of what our team was trying to tackle. Reconnect to drones requires you to be on-grid with the drones in question. You can reconnect after leaving system, docking, re-logging or otherwise abandoning them... the only caveat is that you are in the same ship that launched them to begin with. 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 :)
Adding a checkbox is easy. It's making the checkbox do something new that is the hard part 
Granted, even in this case I don't think it would be very hard. But it would require a better understanding of the autopilot code than I posses, which means that I would have to spend time getting familiar with the system, track down potential edge cases with injecting a new connections with a new connection type into the map data set that autopilot uses to find the shortest route for you. There's a lot of caching of data that happens with map information since there is so much of it, so the idea of screwing with that took the task from an easy addition to a potentially risky feature, in so far as there could be unforeseen fallout with other map features.
Add in the fact that we're talking about feature creep, and my time starts to look like it could be better spent implementing something that benefits more people and causes less potential fallout.
That said, this is the kind of thing BFF should be able to take on no problem since they'll be around to support it. I suggest you post it in the new "small things" thread that's currently stickied in General Discussion if it's not there already. |

I guess I'll reserve final judgement until I actually try it out, but since a missed can would mean I had to select the act for it to tell me "out of range" I won't know I'm changing alignment until I'm actually turning around and that might be a bad thing. Food for thought.
And awesome response time btw
