Oh, another thing... can we get a minimize to toolbar option?
I like having the option to get to the various websites/account management/open window, but it can get in the way, so just a thought for some of us that may want the launcher open more regularly, and ESPECIALLY if you add things like corp chat in there, or whatever.

Just a little curio: the Windows version of the launcher boldly advertises "FANFEST 2012: Inferno/ Dust 514 / The future of EVE" and has three little adverts for Power of 2, PLEX Services & Buddy Program. In the meantime the Mac version not-so boldly proclaims "Player Organizsations / Connect and Share / EVE Blog Pack".
Is there a reason for this difference?
I'm looking forward to the launch / character select / enter game process being streamlined. Having the game patching happening outside the game is handy. Now I can do the patching without my computers screaming at me (the start screen with that cool animation is the heaviest graphics load that EVE presents to my computer, except for environments involving multiple transparent glowing clouds).
So straight up, here are the benefits I have already reaped from the Launcher project:
- it doesn't consume as much processor time or generate as much heat as patching within the game,
- it's a smaller window so I can work around it rather than the constant switching back and forth between full screen and windowed mode (when is the patch coming that allows Mac version to work in windowed mode with 44 fewer vertical pixels?), and
- it moves the useful links & news to the launcher instead of the character selection page (by the time I get to the character selection page, I just want to get into the game).
Thanks for the work so far, CCP.

Personally, my fingers are crossed that work on the Launcher means that we can finally buy and use key-fob authenticators soon.
