Hi space friends, Thanks for the great response so far makes working on this that much more enjoyable 
Max Kolonko wrote:Pls change the brackets color/shape/whatever to differentiate Bookmarks that are ON GRID and OFF GRID We did consider differentiating warpable vs. non-warpable sites. I'm not super excited about supporting grid-fu exploiting directly so what would your particular use case be?
Lil' Brudder Too wrote:Except, locations that are all buried within folders absolutely SUCK to navigate quickly with the right click menu in space. The right click menu in empty space is not changing. When you interact with the bracket via right click or the radial context menu then you immediately get the options for that location directly regardless of folder, provided you haven't hidden it. If you intend to rely on the right click empty space location list for access you are not really using this feature anyway.
Masao Kurata wrote: Well however fast you make it, it won't be faster than the probe window and if you changed that to be just as slow people would be out for blood and I think you know that. If it's not as fast the probe window, people won't use it. I get that you want a radar like sweep but functionality has to come first.
We do have plans to make access to your locations (as opposed to exploration content to be discovered) quicker. All the bookmarks are known to the client before you even enter the system most of the time so we are not bound to the server telling use about them like is the case with the discovery/exploration content. We do realize the tactical importance bookmarks will have in many cases and that arbitrary delays impact game play around gates or when logging in while in space.
Mara Rinn wrote:Now your next challenge: have the "compass rose" expand out to become the tactical overlay when we activate that feature. Activate tactical overlay, the various tick-marks become "dots on poles" around the border of the tactical overlay's 250km radius disc.
Interesting idea you have there. I had toyed with having a 'similar' in scene compass/direction indicators while overlay was active but haven't had the time to explore that any.
Keera Nakamura wrote:As you now have the "compass" code, could you toss that over to some other team to show the overview content as an overlay on your cap. In big fights when zoomed out to the max, I have no clue in which direction the enemy is actually approaching from :) Also an interesting idea. The compass/direction tool has been sparking interest from various non-sensor overlay related activities and it certainly merits some contemplating. For now though we will stick to showing just overlay related information.
Linkoman wrote:Awesome changes! However could us colourblind folk (particularly red/green) get some options to help distinguish those colored lines? I have been thinking off different stripe like patterns for the site ticks or lines in the compass to give them a distinct signature. A bit like how DNA strips tend to be represented. It has the potential to become very messy exceptionally in a busy system but then again it might work. I'm not making any promises for the next release though.
It is nice to see good constructive feedback so please keep it coming. |

Masao Kurata wrote:Hmm, I just tried this again today because I kept reading about the filtering and thought "what filtering? I couldn't see it, I thought it wasn't in yet", and after minutes of fiddling worked out that what I called the "key" earlier is the filter menu, this points to a problem with the UI.
The filter menu looks precisely like a key, not a menu. There are no visual cues that anything but the enable/disable checkbox is interactable and even when I tried clicking on the icons nothing happened because only the text (what the hell?) is the hitbox. I would suggest a bevel to hint to the user that these are buttons, preferably switching between raised and lowered when toggled. Furthermore, the interactable area should be extended to include the icon.
We will be taking another pass over the filter. We intend to make it more clear that the options are interactable and will probably fix the location in place where it appears to prevent it from accidentally obscuring other HUD elements. The no interactable icon bit is a defec, I will fix that.

Sir Mattsimus wrote:Like many others have said, I would like to see my bookmarks in the overview OR I would like to be able to Left click on bookmarks so that they appear in the selected item window so that upon selecting them I can be ready to align or warp to zero on them with one click instead of having to go through a right click menu. When IGÇÖm in a risky situation I like to have my finger poised on the GÇ£get the hell outGÇ¥ button and would rather not have to fidget with right click menus to do this. We won't be adding the to the overview in the foreseeable future. There are both technical problems with that and a some of design philosophy involved that. Having them appear in the selected item window is something to consider but there are issue involved and is unlikely to happen right now.
Sir Mattsimus wrote:Further, I have many folders for my bookmarks and jump between them frequently when creating new bookmarks. When IGÇÖm making a new bookmark and find that I need to put it in a different folder than the folder selected in the GÇ£new locationGÇ¥ window, I find scrolling through the list of folders in GÇ£folderGÇ¥ combo box to be quite fiddly and unpleasant. I would like to be able to, upon clicking on and expanding the GÇ£folderGÇ¥ combo box, begin typing in the name of the folder I wish to select and have the highlighter jump to the folder IGÇÖm beginning to type. This would make the creation of new bookmarks that need be placed in different folders much faster and easier. We weren't focusing on the bookmarks specifically as a feature but rather to expand them into the Sensor Overlay at this point.
Sir Mattsimus wrote:I would also like a shortcut for toggling the sensor overlay on and off. When I find myself in combat I would like space to be clear of such information as it may prove to be distracting and muddling. It has been there all along, Ctrl-O by default. |

Soldarius wrote: Incomplete: There is no way that I could find to control what shows up on the compass. I tried playing with overview, brackets, ESC menu, ricght/left-click, found nothing. Awaiting control interface?
Modification: There is no way to turn off bookmark display in space, should I foolishly decide I don't want them shown. Not even hide all brackets will work. See below.
Mouse over the compass itself and there should pop up a tooltip where you can filter the different types of brackets available
Soldarius wrote: Bug: The compact bracket lists show only bookmarks if any bookmarks are present. Celestials and any other brackets are masked and completely excluded from the list. If no bookmakrs, it works normally.
This is a defect and will be fixed, rest assured.
Soldarius wrote: WTF: The ability to turn on/off the sensor overlay has been removed. Restore it plz.
The tooltip I mentioned has currently a checkbox at the top that turns the overlay on and off. Ctrl-O shortcut will do the same. |

Archetype 66 wrote:The tooltip menu is only displaying when I align the HUD to the top. Known issue ?
The settings should show up regardless of HUD alignments. Do you have UI scaling turned on by any chance? |

Prince aikka wrote:Lol i can only see one bookmark and its in the same sys as me, even though i have atlest 20 in this sys. tryed turning it off and on again. I jumped into the sys next door and there i can see all the bookmarks corp and my own. jump back into the first sys and still only my one book mark, tryed making a new one and still no luck.
There was an issue where some older bookmarks would fail to load but that should be fixed now. If this still persists I urge you to file a bug report and reference the system and character afflicted and I will follow up this. |

Found it. Will take a look to see what is going on. Please don't delete or change you existing personal bookmarks in that system just yet :P
