Newest Patch for Chaos
Chaos Test Patches Website
- Brackets get much clearer when coloured now, the colouring is more extreme.
- Corporation or player set standing of +5 or more towards a corp or player they get blue brackets.
- Corporation or player set standing of -5 or more towards a corp or player they get yellow brackets.
- Gang members now get blue brackets.
The bracket colouring is set like this, the top on list gets selected for bracket colouring:
1. Same Corporation (green) or corporation warfare (orange)
2. Corporation set standing (yellow/blue)
3. Player set standing (yellow/blue)
4. Gang member (blue)
5. Outlaw (red)
This would need some testing, specially where alot of different corp/player set standings are in action or where lots of different colours are about etc.
Please give feedback on any problems.

Excellent, been looking forward to this.
Edit: Shouldn't gang take higher priority over corp/player standings? For instance, if you are forced to temporarily fight alongside disliked players/corps for a common goal.

Cool.
Now if a player is an outlaw, with red brackets, we can pwnz0rnize them anywhere including around sentry guns correct?
Also what about things which belong to the player (IE, Missiles, Cans, Drones, etc)

Its kinda hard to test this on chaos, as everyone is in FCC, but we'll do our best. |

Excellent news, though any chance they could flash at different rates, one of my corp is colour blind and I'd hate to hate to keep shouting "no the other shade of grey" in corp chat.

maybe an option is needed to replace the color coding either with a shape (square, circle, triangle and so on) or to have a tooltip when you hover your mouse over the icon.

agreed. gang and corp should be ultimate thrust, so highest priority and why not same color (=green)?

Very nice comment. Perhaps an option like the auto-scanner has colours and blink options, perhaps shape and colour options for this to accomodate that color-blind type issue.
Its quite common.

ToolTip with Sec Status and Corporation would be fine... but I love the colors ;) shapes as used for different things in space shouldn't change

Good stuff!
While we're on a roll, why not add more info to the hovertext that appears when you put the cursor over a target, such as corp name and ship type?

fantastic, great improvment,
one question, will derelicts come up as a threat/friendly with the coloured bracket, like the pre castor threat window did?

Gang members need their own separate colour. I'd suggest perhaps a light blue or cyan for gang members.
Radar blips need to have some more colouring options as well.

Corp colouring is currently set to higher priority, I'll put gang members to highest priority.

Sounds like a good thing all 'round, however
Some of us are colourblind to some extent. I for example find it quite dificult to distinguish between yellow (#FFFF00) and green (#00FF00).
Some means of customising these colours would be gratefully apreciated.
Generally though using two techniques to show the different states, colour difference + shape, or bracketing style would be a very good thing.
I keep faith, it's only what I believe in that changes.

Very nice work Mr B
Only one question, has the audio alert been fixed with this new feature? I really miss this feature.

I also agree about a combination of color+shape (green circle, red box, blue triangle ...)

It's seems to be a nice feature, how ever I also think that gang color should have a higher priority than corp/personal standing.

personally 2 thoughts
1. gang and corp may as well be same colour
2. Shape for colour blind people good idea... my mate in EVE is colour blind
3. AUDIO threat warning when you are targetted
4. FIX scanner refresh on auto...if you fix it and add audio it will rock
Errrr 4 thoughts, then...... nobody expects the spanish etc

Gang and corp. should never be the same colour - too much chance of accidentally shooting a gang member in Empire.
CONCORD won't like that.

gang and corp should be diferent color so that you can make 2 gangs in your corp and have little battles but also the personal status should be above corp status incase you have some friends that your corp hates or such

I like how the current TQ ship brackets look, the gray/white outer bracket, and the colored insert bracket. Green for corp, Red/orange for people you are at war with. I looked on chaos and the outer bracket is the colored one. Can you just keep the outer bracket gray/white, and just changed the inner bracket to the new color scheme? What I saw surrounding the ships on Chaos, detracted a bit from the aesthetics of eve.

Seconded, the more bright and thick coloured brackets are rather painful on the eyes than really helpful.... the current TQ way works better. ^^;

it would be nice to see 'people you are allowed to attack' to show up as a red/orange targetting crosshair.

The new 1366 brackets that fade out the further you are from someone are nice.

Wouldn't the best (and easiest for CCP) be to let each player set the colors and/or shapes of brackets for his own preferences. Just add it to the Settings UI. Seems the most logical to me. Most other RPGs allow this kind of customization. Why not?
