> [@Loki\_Orkund](#): > > Maybe you know what that means. But it’s seemingly impossible to get Eve to show what type of frigate they are. I see standard frigates, force recon ships, logistics, combat recon ships, HICs, Interceptor, DST, Battlecruiser and that’s just the viewed ships. I would assume a “new player” frigate would be the faction type that you can fly at that location most commonly. More importantly you can right click and show info on those frigates to get detailed information instead… ---

… just name your ships something you will know? that is not something hard to do. yes i know exactly what each of those ships are because i named them something meaningful. if you are looking for a ship in particular you can use filters or that search bar in the top right. you can search for the hull name or the name you gave it ---

Yeah let me post all my PVP tricks publicly. That’s smart. And maybe you’re right, that what I name my ship makes little difference. For me, if it saves me getting ganked once, it’s worth it. But this is all irrelevant. You’ve already admitted my suggestion is a good one. I presume you’re not backpeddling on that. And it’s just obvious that the most important information, the model of ship, should be in the second window pane. There’s not a lot more to be said. ---

no but i may be able to explain why it doesn’t actually help or depending on what you’re doing (like some wh corps thinking unique icons are a good idea) explain why it is actually dangerous. > [@Loki\_Orkund](#): > > And it’s just obvious that the most important information, the model of ship, should be in the second window pane. but its not the most important… in fact its far less important than the things already there. the type of ship is important for sorting by type and the rest of it is important for trading. you seem to be the only person who needs the hull name there to remember what your ships are do to your 1337 strats. ---
