Suggestion:  add the option to set a  citadel / station as standart in they buy options like it is for buy range and buy as corp / personal
Keywords: citaldel, market, remote buyorder
Note: 

Suggestion: More uses for wormhole space salvage, gas, and other materials
Keywords: market, industry, wormhole space
Note: Reinvigorate wormhole space by adding more uses for materials

Over the years the value of wormhole space salvage and materials has gradually depreciated as supply has outpaced demand. The value of goods like melted nanoribbons have drastically crashed from their original value of 4-6 million isk down to only 200k. There is simply too much supply for the current level of demand with the materials only being used to produce the small number of T3 ships and subsystems currently ingame.

This could be corrected by changing the material requirements for things like Triglavian ships and modules, and potentially T2 ships and modules as well, to also require wormhole space materials in their manufacture. This would reinvigorate wormhole space industry and make it a viable profession again. Currently, most of the value in wormhole space comes only from blue loot, which devalues low-class space and makes high-class space a blue loot farming hub. The more time that goes on without this disparity between supply and demand being corrected, the worse the problem will be and the harder it will be to solve.

Suggestion: Inventory > Ship Hangar listed by actual ship type, not ship name.

Keywords: ui, inventory, ship hangar
Note: Useful to find ships without having to contrive a naming system to make sure they are sorted in a predictable manner.

Instead of seeing “Boomer (Hound)” in the Ship hangar drop down, make it “Hound (Boomer)”.

This was mentioned back in reply # 153 in September of 2017 but:

Suggestion: Notification on completion and delivery of Industry Jobs of all types.
Keywords: Notification, industry
Note: Corporate-owned Shared BPO’s are frequently tied up by players forgetting they had them in use or when they’d be complete. While anyone can deliver their jobs for them, there is no way for them to know that it happened. Notifications on when it is ready for delivery, and when someone has delivered it, would make this much nicer on all corporate members - and not bad even for non-corp BPO’s for large-scale industrialists.

Suggestion: When some kind of new entity is added to the game (irregular capsules for example) have them enabled on the overview by default.
Keywords: overview
Note: Currently every new entity is disabled by default, which makes it more difficult to identify new content. We have to find the recently added new things one by one and manually edit our overview settings.

1. Shuttle hull has 99% resists when the cargohold is empty

Tags: Actual Quality of life

The amount of time it takes to get around the game is annoying enough without the ship intended to make this less painful being such a bad choice. Having to do the journey twice when you get smartbombed is ■■■■■■■ annoying.

Suggestion: Small special bookmark list that shows up on rightclick for quick navigation

Keywords: bookmarks, navigation

Note: Allow quick access of 5 bookmarks per system

A special bookmark folder that allows acces to around 5 bookmarks per system without going several layers deep within the rightclick menu would be a huge quality of life change.
After a bookmark change, the rightclick menu has put everything one layer deeper than before, which makes navigation to quick bookmarks such as home station, your ‘safe’ bookmark or the belt you were mining in just a bit slower and more annoying than it was before. The ‘saved locations’ tab could be used as an alternative, but that is showing all bookmarks in a system including hundreds of tacs for some systems. I wish to have quick access to my favourite bookmarks without scrolling through a list or through menus.

Great idea - this could be implemented similarly to the Market Ticker, where we just make a bookmark folder in our Personal Bookmarks (Hopefully one that doesn’t count toward our max bookmark folder count.)

I don’t think there should be any limit other than the maximum locations in a folder, though - if I want to see 30 bookmarks, so be it.

Suggestion: When clicking the link of a chat channel, bring the chat channel into view if it is already open somewhere in your UI
Keywords: ui, chat
Note: Chat improvement

When clicking a link of a chat channel which you have already joined, it would be great if that chat channel was brought to the “top” of the UI and made active. This would make it easier to find a certain chat channel in a window filled with stacked chat channels.

Would be nice if i could add a drone bunny to the watchlist and assign drones from there.

Suggestion: Add “I am jammed” to fleet broadcasts

Keywords: Fleets

Note: It may be niche but it would be nice to have an “I am jammed” broadcast option just like the broadcast for shield, armor or capacitor.
That way you can call for remote ECCM if your fleet is equipped with it and the ECCM-logi can put the remote ECCM to the pilot(s) in need.

@Gerard_Amatin Put your high priority bookmarks in a folder, right click the folder and Open Group Window. sort by number of jumps ascending then resize the window to show five entries

Suggestion: Tie Cargo Hold Warning alert to Actively monitored hold in HUD

Keywords: ui, alert, cargo, hud, inventory
Note: Useful for Miners, other specialist ships

One of the in-game audible alerts is for when the cargo hold is full. It is not possible to change this alert to the Ore hold, even though you can change the cargo hold icon on HUD to monitor ore hold. For miners, this would be quite useful if they could set the icon to watch Ore Hold, and the audible would automatically then watch Ore Hold instead of Cargo.

Suggestion: Allow Ore Hold to overflow to Cargo Hold

Keywords: inventory, cargo, mining
Note: Doubly useful for miners to reduce micromanagement of holds in space

Ore that is mined appears to only look for one condition: If there is an ore hold, it goes there, otherwise it goes to cargo. It should also decide, if the Ore Hold exists and is full then to put the ore in the cargo hold instead.

Suggestion: Use more different rig icons
Keywords: ui, modules, rigs

Currently all rigs of certain type use exact same icon. This makes it hard to visually identify rigs.
It would be better if the rigs had more different kind of icons. Best would be to use icons of existing modules so the yare very easy to identify and consistent with the modules that do similar thing as the rig.

For example all shield rigs currently look like this: 68_64_9

Would be great if they looked something like this: em shiheld ex rig th shield rep shield remote shield cap shield extend shield
(quick copy paste work in GIMP)

Yea that works… if I had 5 bookmarks in system.

However, some of the systems I live in have hundreds of tacticals around gates and stations. Useful bookmarks, but not bookmarks I want to scroll through to find the bookmark I want to use.

That’s why I would like to have quick access to my favourite bookmarks, like we used to have before.

Edit: You’re right, when I open a specific folder for favourite bookmarks this may work. It still feels like a workaround for an issue that shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place. Let us navigate through the rightclick menu like before!

Suggestion: Prioritize search results properly.
Keywords: ui, search

SHIFT+S, Jita, [ENTER]

After closing the obvious:

Systems should always be on the top. It would be even better if we could use the keyboard all the way through, without requiring using the mouse. As an avid keyboard user, the difference would be amazing!

@CCP_karkur
A life changing improvement please if it is not already on your list.
Moon Scanning results .
At the moment you can CTRL-A (Select All) and copy and paste (great love that bit).
Can you look at having the ability to delete all. Unless I am mistaken but the only way to delete a moon scan result is to right click and delete one at a time.
It would be fantastic if the functionality of CTRL-A to select then a Delete All Option.
Thank you
