The a blue glow may be a bit too much though. Honestly, I don’t even care as long as it’s _f\*cking **anything** please for the love of humanity_. (Really like the scrambly pixel effect, not sure about the blue glow [blue normally tends to indicate a more “positive” condition].) Anyway last I checked CCP still has an art department 😃 … ---

Suggestion: dragable coordinates and bookmarks Keywords: coordinates, bookmarks,ui Note: suddestion is to make bookmarks (“saved locations”, “coordinates in space”), mission locations, escalation locations dragable, so players can share them by dragging into text field like they can do with modules, ships and fittings. that will make missioning in fleets and sharing salvage with other people much easier: instead of wating for salvager to warp in or contracting/trading bookmarks in station, players will just drag them from “people and places” or “jourmal” to text field and post into chat channel. Suggestion: “Deployable structures” section in Persomal Assets Keywords: structures, ui Note: adding a section where all deployable structures and theri contents will be listed, so players will be able to warp to them without bookmarking or scanning them down with combat probes (it may take long if there are 100+ tractor units or depots’s in the system). that section should display structure names, current hitpoints and / or reinforcement status, lifetime left. adding “structure is under attack” alert will be nice too. Suggestion: ability to store deployable structures inside containers, to jet them into jet containers, to deploy them for corporate, fleet or public use Keywords: structures, ui Note: this will let players to use deployable structures in many new ways. ---

Suggestion: Direct link to buy ship skins in Character sheet Keywords: ui, access, skins Note: When i am in the Skins section in character sheet, i want to buy the skins. ATM there is a “view market details” for every ship, but not for the specific skin. You should add an option for buying skin via aurum/market to the menu or change current behaviour (link to skin market instead to ship). ---

Suggestion: A color picker for contacts Keywords: UI, contacts, standings Note: More colors to distinguish between enemies and friends. The 5 different standings (-10, -5, 0, +5, +10) are very limiting when it comes to distinguishing between enemies and friends on the battlefield. So I propose an upgrade to the current system. Add an option for people to override the default color given to a contact. Thank you, and Mittani bless ---

While we’re on the topic of contact management (and I’m very much on board with more granularity/options here, if nothing else it would make streaming fights a lot easier to follow): If there were a way to have corporation level notes on a pilot, that would be very useful. ---

Suggestion: Market window tree view should open/scroll to selected category Keywords: ui, market Note: for when you’re searching for similar items * * * When you put a search query in the Market window, and click something off the results, you get the market data on the right half. Now when you clear the search term with the X in the search bar, the left part reverts to the previous market tree selection you had open. It should instead, when you click the X, open the tree levels and scroll to the category of the item on the right. This is especially helpful if you’re searching for something where you know a “related” item, e.g. if you remember the name of the Gallente HAC but want the Caldari HAC. ---

Suggestion: Restart all extractors button for PI Keywords: ui, planetary-interaction Note: the PI pain is real * * * The window that opens from Business -\> Planetary Colonies should have a “Restart Extractors” button next to “View planet”. This would run through all extractors and just do a stop / start on them, alleviating the pain of manually clicking through all your planets every few days. I don’t think this makes PI “too easy” for the following reasons: - you still need to go around with a hauler to pick up the PI goods - you still need to log into your PI alt accounts to actually click the button - clicking the button too frequently wastes PI goo because you’re restarting partial extracting cycles - the button doesn’t allow adjusting the extraction cycle length. (Maybe it should even do that, for when you’re going on vacation for a week, but — separate feature.) ---

Suggestion: Ability to save & switch to separate sets of standings Keywords: ui, overview, standings Note: for streamers, mercenaries, and war engagements * * * (This is a rather large QoL feature, but still.) It should be possible to (temporarily) switch to a different set of standings, which ignores all personal, corp and alliance settings. These sets should be able to be saved and linked (like overview settings.) This feature is inspired by both watching Avaren’s stream (and seeing how much he’s struggling to sort things into appropriate colors), as well as frequent war incidents where “allied for specific situations only” people shoot each other mistakenly. Having a feature where you can switch to a completely separate set of standings (which you can save somewhere, and link in your fleet) would be a visual/presentation game-changer here. It’s hard enough to make EVE streams and videos on twitch/youtube interesting (or even understandable); having related parties appropriately colored would probably help a ton. NB: this really needs to disable any personal, corp, alliance, and maybe even “my corp/my alliance” coloring. Making it just another “layer” after alliance/corp/personal means you get interference for things that aren’t included in the “standings set”. Also, it’d be great if both the “neutral standing” and “no standing” colors can be used (this gives another two colors for e.g. 3-way engagements.) This would also tie in great with additional colors, but that’s a separate piece. P.S.: the setting should probably be cleared on logout. People _will_ forget they switched to a different standings-set… ---

Suggestion: Ability to repackage & “deliver items” that are in containers Keywords: ui, containers Note: reduce main item hangar clutter * * * When using station containers (e.g. to sort loot), it’d be great if the “Deliver Items” option was available for items in these containers. Currently, you have to drag them to your main item hangar, separate them out from whatever other crap you had in there (ugh), and then deliver them. (For contracts this is difficult because the contract can fail/be aborted, which means the items need to be returned [they could just be dumped into the main item hangar though]. For “deliver” this is not an issue and it should just work.) While we’re at it, repackaging items in containers would also be great. ---

Suggestion: Ability to group / add personal tags on fleet watchlist Keywords: ui, fleet Note: for logi pilots * * * The fleet watchlist (which is most heavily used by Logistics pilots) could really benefit from some kind of a grouping/tagging scheme. There are lots of ways to do this, among them: - having “create group”/“move to group” options like in the drone window (which is already very similar to the watchlist window) - adding a separate column of arbitrary tag data - even colors would be cool The first is probably easiest to do here, however there is a small issue for people who don’t have large screens since the group title would waste another row of watchlist (yes, there’s already a lot of screen clutter while in a fleet, especially as a logi, so the extra rows matter.) * * * **UPDATE: colors announced to be in upcoming SiSi patch!** > [@\[March\] Little things in the March release](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/march-little-things-in-the-march-release/58776): > > Hi all, Next time we update [Singularity](https://community.eveonline.com/support/test-servers/singularity/), we’ll have a number of new little things/quality of life changes that we’d like your help with testing slight_smile Many of those changes were suggested and requested by you guys, in our ["little things”](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/little-things-small-qol-suggestions/3545) and various other channels.

Suggestion: make a “weapon catalogue” similar to the ship tree Keywords: weapons, information Note: this should/would allow people to see the details and compare the weapon types easier. Currently if we want to check the stats of the weapons our options are: - find them on the market one by one - find the required skills and access them from there - open the simulator, find a ship that can fit the type and size and have enough high slots to fit all of the versions we’re interested in What I’m asking for is a ship tree like layout that shows the weapons (or at least their types) with some basic information like optimal and falloff range, damage modifier and tracking. This would make it much easier to tell the difference between the electron, neutron and ion blasters for example. ---

Suggestion: Make Aura Smarter (recognize difference between “new player” and “new character”). Keywords: New Player Experience, tutorial Note: Option to speed through tutorial by performing tasks without watching “movies”. I am currently stuck in the New Player Experience unable to progress further because Aura does not recognize that I have already looted the wrecks. I am not a new player, but this is a new character. Yes, I can bypass the tutorial, but then my new character will not receive the goodies to help get him started. The triggers that watch for each task should begin **before** the FC starts yammering, so that while he/she is chatting, I can be performing each of the tasks to move on to the next step. That way, I don’t have to skip the tutorial completely, can complete the tasks quicker and move on to the next. ---

Suggestion: Optional Audio\Visual Notification in case of initiating the warp drive with active drones still present in space. Keywords: QoL, Notifications Note: It would be cool to receive notification in such cases. Some drones are really expensive and we could avoid a lot of hassle (buying new\searching old drones with combat probes etc) if some form of notification (or even optional safety mechanic like “prevent warp if drones are present”) is implemented. ---
