The texts are mixing and you have to do a split-second double-take to confirm that's it's really a stargate - not a person, not anything else.
Prefix it back to what it was before please. Stargates need to stand out.
They do. When you sort by Icon.

Just chiming in to say that I like the new format since it allows me to narrow the overview which frees up some real estate on my monitor. |

You'll still do split second double-back to confirm, even when sorted by icons.
The sorting is almost always in a state of flux.
When this first came out, I gave it a test run on the benefit of doubt. Now I've changed my mind.
Trading width with breaking a UI aspect on the assumption there isn't a problem is flawed judgement on the part of CCP.

Here's one that came up just now:
Fleet broadast history wrote:22:24:32 - Ibeau Renoir is in position at Hek Fortunately my only other fleet member was an alt, but if other players were in it, and people didn't know that "in position" meant "in position at some celestial" as contrasted with "at location" which means "at location in a system", and probably even if they did, they could think I was in Hek, not in Eystur at the Hek gate.

As mentioned on Twitter, I think the new naming screws up almost everything except the overview. Due to this I'd even suggest reverting the rename to the old system ("Stargate (Name)") and changing to overview, so it displays stargate names different (messages, brackets, etc. would still be the classic name).
I could even think of more complex names with this system: "Stargate to ###" everywhere, but only "###" in the overview list. This might be a bit tricky to code, but even then, upon updating the overview, checking the entry's type and adjusting that one string shouldn't be such an performance issue I guess.
Looking for more thoughts? Read my blog or follow me on Twitter. |

Trying to see if the forum is done going full ****** on me:
Image of broadcast messages in the log: Link
Problematic Broadcasts:
At location: "NAME is at location SYSTEM". Name of broadcast implies a location within system would be relevant, ie, "NAME is at (the) DESTINATION_SYSTEM stargate in SYSTEM."
In position: "NAME is in position at DESTINATION_SYSTEM". With current stargate naming system, this broadcast implies the person is in the system, not at the stargate to the system. "NAME is in position at DESTINATION_SYSTEM stargate (in SYSTEM)" would be better.
Jump: "Jump DESTINATION_SYSTEM". Considering the original use for this broadcast was for ships with jumpdrives (otherwise, you wouldn't be able to broadcast celestials), this is a highly confusing broadcast after this change. Needs to make it clear that it is referring to a celestial and not a system, or otherwise there are going to be some very annoyed FCs out there.
Warp: "Warp DESTINATION_SYSTEM". Um... you can't warp to a system. Enough said, really.
Align: "Align DESTINATION_SYSTEM". As above, you can't align to a system.
Target: "Target DESTINATION_SYSTEM (OBJECT_TYPE)". This one's probably the only one that's even close to reasonable because it still displays that it is referring to a stargate. |

Derped slightly and forgot to mention that that screenshot was taken on Sisi - just in case the text-fading on the overview didn't give it away.  |

No, you nimrod, it narrows the column the width of "Stargate ()" and that is a fantastic thing since it was redundant information.
I like the change. I support the possibility of surrounding names with () or [] or ** or something of the sort to make the sorting whiners happy.
I think the person who's mythical FC doesn't keep the type column up on overview is a nutjob...
"Primary is Alphonse, secondary is Bob" -- "They're both velators, wtf?" -- "Sorry, I only sort alphabetically when I FC and dont look at the ship type..."
...and If your fleet mates can't find the name you called in an alphabetical column of everything, what does it matter? They're useless anyway.
Really folks - the TYPE column is where TYPE is identified. You don't see "Harbinger (Fredbob)" or "Battlecruiser (Fredbob)" in the name column do you? Do you call your character "Gallente (SuperNerdFellow)"? No.
Quit moaning about a positive, useful and clutter-removing change just because your cheese got moved. HTFU
(...and sort by distance like the normal people! - Anything on top is the nearest threat )

You were wrong about how much the overview could be shortened, and you asked for "a break" and "credit" for that assumption.
I'm breaking your balls, and giving you credit for being a nimrod.
If that offends your delicate sensibility, I am deeply sorry for offending your widdle feeling by giving you what you asked for.

This, I believe, would be a reasonable compromise.

Good sir, I do believe you are incorrect, and you will be receiving no credit.
This change allows one to narrow the overview by the entire width of the word 'Stargate', one white space, and the leading parenthesis. Such wasted space on redundant information is gladly removed and will be missed only by a select few.

I have stargates on a couple overview filters that I use on a daily basis. Some for quick use (faster to find the yellow stargate, click on it and press D than it is to r-click and find it in the menu), and in a couple of cases it actually provides a nice barrier when things are sorted by name. Like when I go do some incursions for an afternoon - it helped provide a visual barrier between two different kinds of rats (Schmaeel Medullas and Tama Cerebellums, to be precise) and made it slightly easier to find them rather than searching through a wall of rat names with identical red + signs. An unintended use, I know, but it still worked well.  |
