Suggestion: Ability to open fleet hangar on DST from radial menu
Keywords: ui, DST, Radial Menu
Note: Useful when mining and using DST to move mined ore back to the station

When mining with an exhumer, I can open fleet hangar of an Orca/Porpoise from the radial menu (top position). It would be great to be able to do the same with a Rorqual or a Deep Space Transport as you always loose the window when the ship warps offgrid to unload or when moving belts.
Even to be able to open the fleet hangar from watchlist would be improvement over searching for the ship on grid/overview and looking for the right option in context menu (this used to be possible before protonUI from the watchlist by a context submenu)

Suggestion: Drag and drop ore from cargo hold to compression window
Keywords: ui, mining, compression
Note: It would be improvement over right clicking and looking for the correct entry in the context menu

Suggestion: Watch List needs columns like Overview so that you can sort it by broadcast icon.
Keyword: Fleet, watch list, broadcast
Note: The WL shows broadcast icons but they are kinda useless because they are not very obvious and important broadcasts are lost in the list. By moving the icons into a separate column and making it possible to sort the list by icons, they would get a lot more utility because broadcasts now move to the top.

Suggestion: Ability to clear local chat quickly

Keywords: ui, chat, shortcut
Note: useful because shortcuts are QoL

When i’m leaving amarr or Jita it would be nice to cut the spam quickly and easily without the ‘find gearbox, left click, scroll to clear all, left click’ red tape.

personally, i’d love it if we could have the ability to add systems to an ‘avoidance’ (block local) list like the ROUTE management allows. But, that might not be a little thing.

Suggestion: Ability to clear your broadcast icon

Keywords: ui, broadcast, reset
Note: useful because Logi pilots have enough stress already

currently ‘in position’ is pretty much our unofficial “i’m okay now thx” icon but it sure would be nice to be able to just have a “clear broadcast” as an option via at the very least with a new shortcut/hotkey option.

Suggestion: Default join squad added to fleet setup template

Keywords: ui, fleet, joining
Note: useful because FCs have enough stress already

When i’m setting up a fleet most times i’ll want new members joining to go into the top squad listed in order for them to find themselves (in order to ‘free move’ to the appropriate squad down the list

Suggestion: Ability to share settings

Keywords: ui, new computer who dis?
Note: useful because we occasionally replace old hardware past their expiry date

When i’m dealing with the default settings it sure would go a loooong way if i could share settings of where my windows are, how i sort columns in market, which windows are grouped with which, the size of the neocom, my shortcuts that i’d customized…etc…

Suggestion: Ability to have more standings icons

Keywords: ui, standings, icons
Note: useful because there’s not enough icons for friend and foe identification

When i’m dealing with settings standings, it would be nice if we could alter the +/=/- for the colors (have a blue but with negative icon)…even flashy

that should be possible since overview settings include such options already for other bits of that interface in ‘overview settings’, it should be possible hopefully to do the same for standings (since viewing large battles in local it’s hard to sort everyone out)

Suggestion: Also include number of stargate jumps in system info

Keywords: ui, route

Listing the number of stargate jumps/distance, not just the ansiblex route, would help when following intel channels in sov nullsec, because the Route tab in the system info window only shows the number of jumps via ansiblex if you’ve made that selection.

Suggestion: Change BPC’s to “charges”
Keywords: ui, industry, assets, blueprints
Note: Save BPC spam and improve industrialist QOL

Most industrialists end up with hundreds if not thousands of BPC’s, currently every single BPC is 1 item, no matter how many runs or it’s ME/TE. This leads to inventory rapidly filling with them, followed by inventories filling with cans full of them.
If every BPC was like an “ammo charge” (antimatter charge s for example), and 1 run, you could stack them. Then you could for example have a stack of 500 10/10 Griffin blueprints, 30 8/10 Griffins, 10 4/8 Griffins etc, which would be 3 stacks of BPCS as opposed to potentially 540 individual BPC’s (worst case scenario)

no offense, but you folks need to fix the default market column sorting. plzkthxdrvthru

Why did you remove the paladin Thunder weather skin effect? I have to rename my ship now to ‘Static’
Did you fire the genius brain behind that ?

If you are referring to the lightning surrounding it, that was a bug and not intended

Also, this isnt the thread for complaining. Also looking at you @MinorFreak . Ccp doesnt monitor this thread except via algorithms looking for a specific format

Look here for settings files, copy paste then rename to another character / account number to copy between characters / accounts.

Keywords: Industry, Reprocessing
Note: Be coherent with the Industry principles where all jobs can be paid with a selected corporation account/division.

Suggestion: Be able to resize a UI window while its position is locked
Keywords: UI, Windows
*Note: Separate the ability to lock the position of UI window from the ablity to resize it.

It is quite annoying to have to unlock the windows “size and position” each time you just want to resize it. Sometimes, going too fast with my mouse, it happens that I also move the window or windows (if they are stacked) although I just want to resize …
