FWIW, design asked for/approved this change (depending on which timeline you're following), on the basis that having the interesting bit of information at the end of a text string in a limited-column-width situation wasn't very helpful.

And here I have been using the Navigation overview setting for the last few years: just stargates and stations.

Rather than sorting by type, sort by icon. Then the next destination in your autopilot route will show up on top because it is yellow.

Swear people will cry about ANYTHING. Make a gate filter and new tab on your overview if its such a big deal and then shut up.

(in hindsight i probably realize 75% of eve idiots still don't know how to make a filter properly reason being alliance blobbers or empire dwellers)

Many people had expressed their desire to return back to the old, pre first attempt at localization, representation of stargate names which is what we are doing. I jumped at it because I dislike having an icon for a type on the overview and then the typeName in both the itemName and the typeName fields.

Are there any specific areas where you think you could confuse a stargate name with a solar system name without having any other visual context to differentiate between them? I'd be more than willing to look into it once everything is good and stable.

That is actually quite simple to do and we could easily retain the system names in search results to facilitate station search by systemID.

Awesome change. Long overdue and very welcome.

It seems someone at CCP failed to anticipate all the ways that people use their overviews.

New:

Jita

Old:

Stargate (Jita)

Better:

SG - Jita

edit: as I understand it stations will soon (if they aren't already...w-space means never going weeks without seeing stations) be called "4-4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant" instead of "Jita IV Moon 4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant." This is a good change. A bad change would be removing the planet/moon reference entirely. Which is basically what was done with stargates.

Sort by type in scanner now because going byt he name will indeed not work at all.

I already posted that idea 1 or 2 pages before and made a thread for it in the features & ideas section:

Please also express your support there! =)

Can you tell me how it is more helpful for you ? What is this brilliant awsomeness ?

World Shaping
Stargates are now named solely for their destination. This means it will now display 'Destination' rather than 'Stargate(destination)'.


WHY ?

Thinner columns on my overview means more space for... space. I love common-sense fixes like this.

[fun]
Because it makes sense, you already know it's a gate right? -
[/fun]

I'd be more than willing to look into it once everything is good and stable.

and what about goind ahead and name things like this :

Station :
[ IV-3 Spacelane Patrol Logistics Support ]

or alteratively, since Roman numbers don't sort well :
[ 4-3 Spacelane Patrol Logistics Support ]


Stargate :
( Crielere )
or
< Crielere >


Asteroids :
* Veldspar *


...

You get the idea.
It allows to easily read what type the object is with only a character. There is plenty of characters available and if needed, you can set up "double char" marking. Like :
|> Crielere <|




I already use this kind of marking to name my bookmarks and it's pretty useful to tell instantly the difference between :
- the sniping BM off gate: >> Crielere @230
- the scanning BM off grid: -(( Crielere @1AU
- the tactical BM: |- Crielere @80
... not to mention temp safes, safes unaligned, deep safes, scanning safes.... :)

(@80 means the BM is 80km from the gate)

What are these "Stargates" that you speak off?

I am convinced that this was suggested by those that DO want to name their ships "XXXXXX (Stargate)" to fool others during NullBear fisticuffs.

I knew this would turn out to be a NullBear suggestion.........really. Not trying to be funny here.

The Overview is dangerous to rely on now, and microseconds wasted looking for the stargates there amongst the other text and CIRCLE ICONS.

Just WOW.

I wish I could get back the microseconds I spent reading your incoherent yippity yap.

Read some Mass Attack: "Through the constant harassment over the years the high-sec player can really no longer be termed the carebear. These guys have taken beating after beating and you know what, they're still there, truckin along.

You think high-sec-carebear cares? High-sec-carebear is craaaaaazy, he don't give a ****. "

Doubtful, but I am expecting you asshats to do another mass exodus out of here when the next hulkageddon is.

Anything other than a distance sort is unhelpful.
