# Suggestion: Send ingame mail when your support ticket/bug report receives a reply.

# Keywords: Mail, support, reports

Replies on your support tickets result in e-mails beingsend to yoru registered e-mail. In game mails would be easier to notice (as long as you are able to log in). Especially if you don’t use your personal e-mail for the account (and your bug report is redirected into support ticket and you don’t notice this for many months because you don’t read that mail. Not that it would have mattered anyways but it would have been nice to notice.).  
When your bug report receives a reply you do not get any notification anywhere.  
These can be important messages. Ingame mails would help in noticing them.

**Suggestion:** Allow market search to return highest level matching group  
**Keywords:** Usability, UI  
**Notes:** I want to compare industrial ships without knowing their names. Given I am searching the market for “industrial”, I should see a search result of the “Ships/Industrial Ships” group, with all its contents included but collapsed. Or if I search “ship” I should see all of Ships.

**Keywords:** UI, PVP, QoL  
**Note:** If implemented properly it would greatly improve user experience when working with a group that does not normally have standings for a single encounter by allowing for them to be set blue for X duration to reduce clutter in the overview.

**Suggestion: Show the DRF in missile and fighter info**  
**Keywords: Missiles, fighters, UI, info**

Missile damage formula contains a variable called “Damage reduction factor” (DRF).  
This value is not visible in game. (fighters also use it).  
Each different type of missile has different DRF.  
The ony way to find this number is to get it from ESI or static data export.  
This value should be visible in game in the info of each missile and fighter.

**Have separate auto target back settings for NPCs and Players**

**Suggestion** : Have two auto target back settings , one for player ships , one for NPCs  
**Keywords** : ui, settings, combat

So players do not have to alter the settings every time they switch between PvP and PvE.

I have auto target back set to 0 if I PvP , I have it set to 12 when I rat , don’t know how common this is but it irks me to keep going into the setting screen to change this setting.

## Suggestion: ACL Hangers

Keywords: ACL, Hanger, Item Management  
Note: Allow ACL access to shared hangers for coordinating within groups of players

I am in several sigs and groups that could benefit from a shared ACL hanger in certain strategic areas/stagings. It also would help for those of us who have multiple alts, but cannot utilize an alt corp due to already being in a corp.

Suggestion: Bring back total skill points ticking up as I watch  
Keywords: ui, skills  
Note: Currently my “total skill points” doesn’t change even if i close and reopen character sheet

In the past I could look at my character sheet and see my skill points tick up one by one. This really reinforced the core mechanic of skills training over time and gave a hint if training was paused.

Not so little related ideas:  
Tint the SP number red and change its label to “123,456 Skill Points - Training Paused” when appropriate  
Make the tooltip of the currently training skill also update its SP count in real time

> # Integer entry boxes accept engineering notation numbering
> 
> ### Tags: UI

When typing in a figure into a numerical entry box it accepts engineering notation and adds the correct number of 0’s

55k converts automatically to 55,000  
100m converts automatically to 100,000,000  
1.285b converts automatically to 1,285,000,000

Optional, I’ve noticed russians type 50m as 50kk (who knows why) so maybe add kk as an alternative to m.

Triple tapping 0 is getting real boring.

**Drone control buttons**

**Suggestion** : Add drone control buttons In space for controlling drones, just like the buttons for missile launchers / turrets  
**Keywords** : ui, combat

Details  
New button hole on the high slots row ( F9 )  
New button hole on the middle slots row  
New button hole on the low slots row

When a ship has a drone bay these button holes get buttons

High - All drones attack button ( attacks active target )  
Medium - Launch default group ? or All drones return and orbit ?  
Low - All drones return to bay

Buttons can be moved around like any other buttons.

Million means a different thing in parts of Europe and Russia (I think a million for them is a billion for Americans/British/some other Europeans)… so instead of m for x,000,000, they use kk as in… a thousand thousand. Since we all call a thousand a thousand, a thousand thousand is clearer to them as to what is meant… than saying a million (which could mean x,000,000 OR x,000,000,000).

(Note: I realize that by using , instead of . between the 000s I’ve further complicated things, but oh well. I’m American, but I am AWARE of these issues, at least!)

What you’re talking about is x10^9 which to the English is a thousand million, to an American is a billion. BUT it’s pretty much accepted universally a billion is 9 0’s.

Having the function even if it’s the ACTUAL standard would be fine, SO many fewer key strokes.  
k x10^3  
M x10^6  
G x10^9

Yep, that’s what I was referring to. I presume, since I’ve seen not only kk from Russians in local but also kkk… that they default to speaking of thousands, thousand thousands, and thousand thousand thousands to get around such potential confusions.

But I’m glad to hear that a bil is (mostly) universally accepted as 9 zeroes in this day and age. The more we can standardize the better…

Now, let’s not even get started on metric vs. Imperial (as an American who learned both from an early age and then lived in Japan for awhile and then moved back to the states… yeah…).
