I make most of my eve income from bookmarks, so have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this part of the game.
Things I'd like to see changed include:
- The ability to store more bookmarks, even in less readily accessible (and less demanding of server / bandwidth resources) locations that the PnP folder system that we mostly use nowadays. I run multiple alts to keep track of the various collections I build and sell. I regularly use the storage-limit workaround to allow them to hold tens of thousands but it's still a bit of a PITA.
- More than five-at-a-time copying. Five at a time is relatively easy to keep a visual track of when copying large numbers of bookmarks but it makes for a very tedious pedantic activity when you need to do so accurately.
- Somehow streamline copying / uploading times. I tend to set upload bookmark jobs for when I am heading to bed, so the necessary hours can happen when I am AFK.
- Able to sort bookmark vouchers in a similar way to being able to sort bookmarks installed in the PnP folders.
- Able to search bookmarks installed in the PnP folders.
- Able to apply tags to bookmarks, like I can for contacts and (indirectly) my overview, to provide another way of minimising the number of bookmarks showing when you're operating. So, for example, when we're on a hostile territory roam I can select my perches tag ... and not have to see the safespots, JBs, POSes etc until I decide to change. This has potential to reduce server load during jumps and ops ... jumps (gates and bridges) being where I notice bookmark-induced-lag the most.
- Able to set an expiry (self-destruct) time on a bookmark. I don't know about others but my w-space collections tend to bloat over time, with long-expired locations, and my corp collections similarly puff-out with useless accumulations. If I could choose to set a K162 bookmark to expire in, say, 36-hours I'm going to be a tidier and less server intensive person.
- Able to setup a bookmark view where you can see comments.
- Other sharing options for bookmarks. Alliance-wide would remove a lot of bookmark duplication amongst the corps that makeup the larger alliances. Similarly I'd love to be able to setup other buddy sharing options so that, for example, I could share a particular bookmark or set of bookmarks with a buddy across the cosmos.
I guess those are a lot of asks, and they're not at all w-space specific, but I do spend a lot of time dealing with bookmarks and would very much like a little loving to be applied to them.
Having said that I will now read above, prolly to discover others have already said all the same things ... or already disagreed vehemently with them :-)
I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder.
Our pirate epic arc completion packages really are very good: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12973&find=unread |
