Hey all,
Just wanted to drop in to detail a few more things changing/appearing in today's Singularity update as well as changing in the last week.
- Back by popular demand, green anomalies!
- The compass now retains its orientation regardless of the cameras vertical position, and uses the colored bars on the compass to indicate whether a location is above or below your camera.
- The colored compass bars have been cleaned up, so should make it easier to see the vertical position of any locations
- Personal and Corp locations should now appear instantly when entering a system (No more waiting for the sensor sweep for these)
- The fuzzy sfx have been removed from Personal and Corp Locations.
- Various additional fixes to the radial menu options.
Thanks for all the feedback that's helped us reach this point!

I think the indication of elevation is much clearer now. Moving anoms back to green helps readability also. I can't wait to have this on Tranquility. I may actually begin to mouse over signatures to see their size now and determine if I want to scan them or not. Currently on Tranquility it is so annoying to pan the camera all over the place searching for the icons that I just don't bother to do it. I just stay in the map view and scan down all the sigs. Having this compass takes away all the frustration.
Though... Currently on Singularity when you mouse over the signature-icons in space you can no longer deduce the size of the site. It shows only a single AU distance now. Rather than a range of two distances as on Tranquility. Bug or intentional? I hope its a bug.
Its nice to have bookmark icons pop up in space immediately now. I wish the signature icons would pop up immediately as well. But I guess they are delayed to prevent people from d-scanning other people out of their sites quite so fast?

Yeah, tabs within tabs for the overview. Allows you to arrange objects of different types with more fine-grained control. And I want to be able to slide the "selected object" bars around and insert them wherever I want into the overview. I'll probably make a giant UI wish-list thread in F&I sometime. This thread isn't really the place to go into all that. |

If I have missed this somewhere then please point me in the right direction, but;
"What is Space North?"
What is the focal point of the 'North' new compass point?
I was origionally going to say that the Eve Gate would have been cool, but I don't believe it is far enough away to provide a reliable and credible 'anchoring point' for spacial orientation. Terra would be far enough away though...
(Oh, and please make said compass points a tad easier to see.)
All amazing stuff. I am currently selecting a suitable hat to eat...

Funny enough the galactic north is not a point on the galactic plain. Much like the directions in the 40k universe (The Segmentum Ultima being in the galactic east, the Segmentum Obscurus in the north), the galactic north in EVE lies at an infinite distances outside of the actuall boundaries of New Eden so as to ascertain that north is allways north.
If you hit F11 and take a look at the thing at the bottom that's the stellar system you are currently in. The qhite cone is your viewing direction. Adjust cone to point upwards, open the strategic overlay. The numbers on the strategic overview pointing into space along your viewing axis (which is congruent with the "up" on the system view in F11) is pointing to what the OP jokingly calls "galactic north". If that was to dry I recommend zaqq's video doing "The Maze" explaining the whole thing while actually showing it. |

Please consider the following for post Phoebe
Add an option to have a high contrast background for the inspace brackets. The shapes and colours presented in the blog are nice, but still - depending on screen resolution, their size and ingame location it can be hard to locate them. By allowing (dynamic if possible) contrast colours on their background it would be possible to give inspace brackets more emphasis amongst the other noise present (space effect, stars, lighting).
Dynamic backgrounds could involve a changing brightness of black->white for Amarr+minmatar to Caldari and Gallente spaces respectively.
Kind Regards,
This guy. |

I dont like the whole feature, ive never used the sensory overlay and have no desire to see every little thing in space. As for the compase, its very annoying seeing all the icons move around whenever im warping, especially seeing, far as ive been able to tell, its just a visual and cant be used to start a warp to the locations it shows. All of this i would care about at all if you could just turn it off. I know you can turn the sesory overlay off, and you can filter away all the little lines on the compase, so why cant I just turn off the compase that i have no need or want to use. Its a small thing to complain about but my idea of eve as a sandbox is being able to play how I want to including how my Ui looks, and this feature is lacking a simple on/off switch. |

I guess I misunderstood the part about the bookmark filtering in the People & Places.
I thought it was to only show the bookmarks that are in the current system that I am in. Some of my folders have over 100 bookmarks in them, so when that folder is open, it's a pain to have to close that folder to open up another folder, or scroll down to get to another folder.
If I had the option to filter only the bookmarks that are for that system that I currently am at, then I could have several folders open at once, and only see those bookmarks in the folders.
Having hundreds of bookmarks from other systems shown in the folders doesn't help me out at all. |

We've done nothing to filter the locations within the people & places window, only which of them appear in the Sensor Overlay.

I hope you add a filter to show bookmarks in P&P folders for current system only. Possibly even filter them by System, Constellation, and Region.
Either way, this reduce a lot of clutter for us and make our People & Places a more effecient tool to use while in space.
Especially when I am in wormholes. I dont need to see hundreds of bookmarks I have out in K space. Only need to see the ones for the system Im in. |

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
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? |

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

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the compass to re-angle the camera view in tracking mode.
Basically if I'm in tacking mode and click on the location of a anom/bm or whatever in the compass area of the UI, have the camera shift to that view that as if I had clicked something in my overview while in camera tracking mode, also possibly being able to swing the camera 360-¦ on the horizontal plane would be interesting.

That would be great, please submit a bug report from in game if possible so that we can get the appropriate error logs.
Once you've done this you can try changing your ui scaling to a different option as a work around, as this should allow you to access the options for the time being.

not sure if it was mentioned here already, but would be nice to have those bm's clickable and have them like selected item (for better aligning warping etc) now only right click menu works ... same drones and planets cannot be in selected window now - broken |

One thing that seems kind of "off" is how the compass direction doesn't correspond to the camera/dscan direction when you have the system map open. It might also make sense to use the same colors in the system map for bookmarks, landmarks, and so on. |

I just realized that you can now mark the high-sec to low-sec entry gates with a visible bookmark. Very useful if you want to avoid accidents. Works the other way around, too, should your security status be a kill on sight in high-sec.

On Grid Bookmark:
- point your ship in any direction in space
- create bookmark, Ctrl-B
- in new bookmark window, set distance from ship for new bookmark location
- type numbers 1 thru 850; vector is current direction your ship is pointed/moving
- click ok to save new bookmark 850km away from your current location *(or whatever max on-grid distance is)
*afaik, max on-grid distance is ~850 km. So if that is not max grid distance, set to whatever max on-grid distance is for creating new bookmark. Don't necessarily agree w/ this one, this gives anyone the ability to instawarp to opponents location. I.e. someone ongrid, but over 100k out... point to them, quickly create bookmark, warp, pew-pew ensues. That requires being active. Why is any of this a bad thing?

I'm currently too tired and lazy to do it, but others will probably explain you why. |
