We've all seen the 'remove local' threads.. which I'm in favour for, but what about the overview? At the end of the day, during fleet fights it is very much overview-online. Remove overview and the blobs are cut drastically.

Screw that. I'd rather have the ability to mod the UI and make it look more like what a ship's displays might look like.

My god man are you insane!?! Without the overview even PVE would become almost impossible let alone a major fleet battle.
(yes I know there was no overview originally, just ask one of the very old timers what a nightmare that was)

Insane?! Insane?! Yeah.. a bit. But you've got to see where I'm coming from. Regarding missions, it has been already mentioned many times before, why don't CCP half the number of rats there are in missions and just make them 2x stronger. Or even more, it would be great to see recons used in missions to help with some of the harder 'bosses'

What in the bloody crap would a recon ship do with the overview gone that they can't do now? Answer - nothing! And besides, I'd never take a recon ship into a mission anyways - no tank whatsoever if things go wrong, thus not worth the risk.
Trying to manage a fight with overview gone when there are drones involved would be suicidal. Heck, large gang warfare would be suicidal, as would empire warfare if neutrals are involved. I've done the "OH CRAP STARTED LOCKING A NEUT UNBLINKY THE GUNS AHHHH" more than once (cancel lock button, CCP?) WITH the overview; I'd hate to see a gangwar on a gate without the overview ...
The overview is a very good thing, capable of aiding the pilot in managing massive amounts of hostiles. To paraphrase a comment about adding a big You Are Scrammed timer, "If I had a $300m spaceship, I sure as hell would have the computer give me a list of all enemies and their available data."
Also, you neglect the additional data provided by the overview. With it, one can see the tags assigned targets by a gang leader, say in a group mission. Additionally, some people (like me) use some of the additional data, like raw, radial, and angular velocity. The screen would get very cluttered very quick, even without drones, if this data was displayed by each ship.

Removing overview: don't think so.
However, you could use it as a tactical tool and blob-fighting tool.
Just show the first 10 ships (dependent on your settings and sorting) on overview, 10 closest ships or 10 farthest ships or 10 closest ships of battleship size etc. etc.
This would somewhat reduce focus-fire, and actually would enable tactics that will allow people to form picket lines, make it useful to attack opponents from the flank or the rear by throwing off their targeting coordination.

Of course this is a bit of a barmy idea, hence more discuss and less 'no'.
What I meant by recons being used in missions is if there are fewer rats, ewar would actually be used then. Makes it a bit more interesting. That does go against the story line a bit of course.
So what was it like in the days before overview? Vets pitch in.

Blissful! The whines were less in numbers, the fights better, the blobs smaller, the ships prettier, the game better, the community more adult and all other stuff that we lie to the young ones about
Honestly, while it was interesting enough, the overview is a good thing.
Imagine, if you will, getting bombarded with missiles while trying to mouseclick someone in space?

Edited by: NightmareX on 20/11/2007 17:59:17 LOL, first someone want local removed, and now someone want overview removed to.
Hey, lets remove the whole EVE while we are at removing things.
If you don't want overview or local to show, then just close / minimize them.

What we really want is the ability to 'Mod' the Overview and hud just like you can in WoW. That way i can make my Overview look good and look like it is part of a futuristic ship interface rather than a glorified web browser game.
