Suggestion: More right click functionality for compression

Keywords: compression, ore, ice, gas, inventory  
Note: Right clicking the cargohold itself gives a compress all option, instead of having to select all uncompressed ore first

QoL feature that lets you compress ore faster and more efficient

in case u are unaware you can use the Radial Menu\* to effortlessly change your orbit value on the fly without changing the default.

\*many people don’t use the Radial menu because it pops up at times you don’t want it to. so they increase it’s popup delay so it won’t. but you can set a shortcut (extra mouse button) to call it up on command.

That said I do like your idea too, it could be applied to lots of commands. unfortunately command clutter is always a concern.

**Suggestion:** Simple desktop icons to launch a character  
**Keywords:** Client, Launcher, SSO, Desktop  
**Note:** Use a simple SSO token launch direct from the desktop or have the user ID, password, character used to launch directly into the client. For more information read the original posting.

> My small QoL suggestion would be the new launcher or rather the lack thereof. I don’t see any need to use the new launcher. I get the client running and shut the launcher down. I realize the launcher acts as a SSO tool to log on without a password. Why not make a very simple version using a desktop shortcut?
> 
> **For Example**  
> The current shortcut points at the following;  
> Command: C:\path to eve\EVE\eve-online.exe --product=eve-online  
> Working Directory: C:\path to eve\EVE\app-1.3.3

> Why not use;  
> Command: C:\path to eve\EVE\tq\bin64\exefile.exe /noconsole /server:tranquility.servers.eveonline.com /ssoToken=

> 
> Then I could have an icon on the desktop to login as John Rochard or any of my other characters as I desire. No launcher needed. I understand the need of a launcher for the following reasons;
> 
> - Multiple character upkeep
> - Multiple game access
> - Important and Critical notifications
> 
> None of these are part of the current launcher. I am not against others who desire to view the launcher, but all most players need is one click launch.

Suggestion: Strip fitting on seperate high/med/low racks.

Keywords: fitting, ui, qol  
Note: Options added to each rack similar to simulated fitting, or a right click option, to strip a specific module rack from a ship.

QoL to make reffiting faster and more efficient.

No, I didn’t know that 😃 Thanks. I’ve just tried it out and there’s even a nice slide feature to fine tune the value.

**Suggestion:** Add a ‘Topic’ or ‘Subject’ line to private chat requests

**Keywords:** UI, private chat, conversation request

**Note:** allows players to see what an incoming chat request is about before accepting

Most incoming chat requests are just blind requests from an unknown name. No way to tell if they’re a corp invite, an SP Referral link spam, a foreign language, or an answer to a question you just asked.

A chat request topic line would help people communicate and socialize better.

Suggestion: Add more variations to the regroup command

Keywords: Settings, Navigation

Note: Give people the option to edit the default orbit ranges of the regroup command for fleets, or even set it to a keep at range command rather than a orbit command.

Give more variety and function of this command. Similar to warp formations.

Suggestion:  
When setting program duration in PI please allow the duration/time setting to be persistent every time you go do your PI OR have pre-sets that you can choose from that are easily accesable.

Keywords:  
PI, Industry, Planetary Interaction

Note:  
Currently if you move the extractor heads then the duration needs to be reset from scratch and trying to select you exact time from the slider is finicky and not user friendly.

Suggestion:  
In PI Allow us an option to select all 10 extractors at once rather than clicking on each one individually.

Keywords:  
PI, Industry, Planetary Interaction

Note:  
Having to click on individual heads is time consuming, obviously keep that option for people that prefer that method but there is enough space for a “select all” option for those of use using 10 heads on the same extractor, this will lighten the load on the carpel tunnel inducing current system.

Suggestion:  
When setting new extractor heads, stop the overlap, I have tried various things to try and prevent this from happening but sometimes it overlaps and sometimes it doesn’t. Perhaps allow us to have several saved preset head formations so we can easy choose them without have to drag and rearrange the head locations. Along with the preset formations, allow us to rotate that formation to fit the shape of the hot spots that we want to use

Keywords:  
PI, Industry, Planetary Interaction

Note:  
This would give an options for an easier set up of PI on any given planet
