Love the fleet warp exemption! I have a related request:

Sometimes in bigger fleets I'll take squad command because I have leadership V. During the course of the fleet, the fc will have us align various places. Sometimes, because I'm an idiot, I'll hit squad warp instead of align (maybe they are adjacent on the dropdown menu? Can't check right now). Would it be possible to add a similar option that says "don't let me squadwarp people even if i click the button", or is this a case where it's not really an issue for most players?

the last three in the blog are already active, though.
But still: Keep those "little" things coming!

Maybe that could be something for the list?

hi :3

... while we are at cloaking: Would it be hard to apply the "reload" animation also to the cloak to see more easily when you can cloak again?

I would like to give some more vocality to the exempt from regroup option, as this would go nicely with the exempt from fleet warp option. CCP Punkturis please!

Nice ones. Personally I think the insurance dialog would be better if it were tabbed into personal and corporate ships, rather than over-under, I just think it would look tidier and more importantly you get more space for what you want to use, and less for what you don't.

Personal [2] Corp [5]

Where [x] is the number of ships.

Also, labels are nice but it would be nice to have them on the menu option for adding a contract.

Add Contact >
- No Label
- Evil People
- Spais
- Supercap Pilots
- BFFs

Have it pre-populate a field on the dialog for a main label for them.

it's technically not possible at the moment, sorry

More clickable names

Your name in the character sheet is now a clickable info link so you can more easily show info on yourself (sometimes you just want to get to know yourself a little better, right?)

you want the "assign label" to say "no label" instead?

Does this effect rigs? Cause you can rig a ship now for other people to use if they don't have the skill. Will this gameplay be changing?

lol that makes no sense!!! you'll have to be more careful with what you're clicking, sorry

I have another thing related to one of the Crius features:

I hopped on SiSi the other week to help fit up ships for AT practice. The ability to fit mods even if I couldn't use them was very useful indeed for this! However, I was sad to notice that I still couldn't fit ships without being able to sit in the hull. Is this something you could fix? Is there a way to do it already, and I'm just too dumb to find it?

Labels on online/offline notification

When you see a character coming online or going offline, you might not remember why you added that person to your notification list. If youGÇÿre super organized youGÇÿve assigned a label to that person. You can now mouse over the notification and see all the labels youGÇÿve assigned.

Does this effect rigs? Cause you can rig a ship now for other people to use if they don't have the skill. Will this gameplay be changing?

I think I can translate this to make sense:

If an fc broadcasts an align to and you are in a command position the right click menu options in the fleet broadcast window are:

Warp to Location
Warp to Within
Align to
Warp Squad to location
Warp Squad to location within

If instead you right click on something on screen or on your overview the menu options are:

Warp to Location
Warp to Within
Align to
Show Info
Warp Squad to location
Warp Squad to location within


In other words everywhere else except the fleet broadcast window you have a 'harmless' option between align and warp squad.

please make the location in locator agent mails a link so that we can set the destination to the foe we want to ... meet
please let us search in the bounty hunter list, so that we know our rank compared to other (this is possible for most wanted, so why not for top bounty hunter)

and also thanks for the "little" things you improved

Would be nice to also be able to have Unrigging Skills
to be able to unrig a ship

The Armor Resistance Phasing skill used to make cycle time reduce faster than cap need, which meant you actually needed more cap per second after training the skill. You pointed out this was unhelpful, we agreed, so we fixed it. Cycle time and cap need both reduce by 10% per level now.

maybe drugs at least? they are like ammo, right?

No removal of cloak fiting scan res penalties on black ops?

good ideas, thank you

"Armor Resistance Phasing skill now reduces cap need more"

its here since kronos already, otherwise nice little changes, keep it up

I still think a far easier solution is to leave everything alone and offline rigs you don't have the skill to fit. This only hurts those who skipped the skill training w/ an unintended loophole, but can easily be fixed by investing some SP.

This also means that a pilot with roles to fleet warp a bunch of people can set themselves exempt from the fleet warp and just warp their fleet/squad/wing.

Everyone has that skill, just r-click on the rig and choose Destroy

This rig thing of this update is really bad. A very unreasoned one.
People - mostly - didn't learn the rig skills to negate the drawbacks, we did it to be able to fit T2 versions.
You should then give back about 75%..90% of SP spent on rigs.

I see the CSMs of this year and the previous one as unreliable, as they allow stupid things like this (and Pos defense management skill changes) go to Tranquility. It's unlikely that any of the current members will get voices of my accounts on the elections next year.


This. The obvious best solution. I don't get how ccp could miss it.

Uh, nope- I just ask around in corp/alliance until I find someone who has the rigging skills. Hell, once I was an Incursion and someone in my fleet rigged a Vindicator for me. It's laughably easy to get T2 rigs onto a ship without having the skills to do so, merely inconvenient if someone with the skills isn't around right that moment.

The rigging change is a very good change and has no fundamental effect on the ability of anyone to fly ships- either you have the skills, which means no change, or you don't and you don't need a middleman to rig your ship. Sure, it highlights that rigs are weird and broken and the skills need love, but that's a totally different issue.

I stated that ccp's solution is stupid. If you prefer bothering people to fit something on your ship then it's your 'choise'. Anyway, these people whom you like bothering so much DID spend their precious time on these skills.
On the scale of all eve playerbase, ccp are just going to trash years of time the players spent on these rigging skills.
Instead they could do a sane thing by just making rigs go 'offline' or greyed out. If they can't - they should never touch it until they're able.
The CSM keep disappointing me, because it's them who should prevent such unreasoned changes. That's what we have them for, isn't it?

Looks like a bunch of good changes to me Punkturis.

But you are a tease.

Slaz

... CCP did say in one of there videos that it is more for new players, few update long time back,
which is good for the new player base to get in to playing eve ...

"Good for new players" doesn't mean that they should screw around with the time which existing players spent on the skills.

Also, make rigs fittable but nonfunctional without the needed skills: people who currently prepare ships for corps and/or events will still be able to do that, but those who don't have the necessary skills won't be able to use the rigs. This is called integrity.
If you don't have the skills - you can't use the modules. This already works for everything except rigs; why are they so special.

it says in the blog that some of those things were added for Kronos

I would like to give some more vocality to the exempt from regroup option, as this would go nicely with the exempt from fleet warp option. CCP Punkturis please!
