Little things / Small QoL suggestions

Not really a QoL thing, but how about an update to the New Character 15-day Daily Log-in Rewards ? I’m thinking an Omega option from Day 12, with Cloaking skillbook, then extra skillpoints, then a Cloaking module, then some more skillpoints. Will emphasise that Omega exists, and has distinct benefits - and might convert a few maybes into Omegas. Also, the daily rewards are a little dated now.

hell no…

plus this would never be seen, if you see the previous posts, or even read the OP, there is a certain format your post needs to be in.

Suggestion: Ability to rename Planetary facilities

Keywords: ui, pi, customization
Note: Useful to identify single facilities (launchpads especially!)

I have a multi-launchpad factory-planet PI setup to produce P3 (4 types of P1 go in, 1 type of P3 goes out).
2 launchpads work as input, 1 launchpad works as output.
I have multiple characters following this approach (1 char = 1 factory planet).

I rarely do PI, cannot remember the inputs of the launchpads and always have to look it up via inspecting the facility (whilst docked ofc).
Instead of 4N-QJD, I’d like to rename my launchpad to sth like “Water + Metals”. This way I could easily drag&drop resources to the correct pad and move ahead with daily business. No need to look at 6 Planets anymore.

Suggestion: The Planetary Industry window should also list the goods in the Customs Offices.
Keywords: UI, planetary industry, skyhooks, customs office, exports, imports
Notes: There’s no way to easy see which COs have been cleared or not, which have the stuff you need for imports or exports. You have to manually check through all COs to figure that out. The rows in the window have enough space to accommodate this information with ease.

Suggestion: Calculate the maximum number of items possible to buy from a market order based on an ISK input.
Keywords: UI, Market, Buy Menu
Note: helpful for haulers trying to buy things


A small “Calculate” button in the buy menu that when clicked, pulls up a mini window asking for an ISK input. When an ISK value is entered the number of items in the buy order will be set to the maximum purchasable with the ISK value entered.
Simple Example:
I want to buy 1m ISK worth of Antimatter Charges (30 ISK each) to haul for profit
I enter 1m ISK and press enter.
The game puts the number of Antimatter Charges in the buy order to 33,333, the number of Charges that can be bought with 1m ISK. This is helpful to haulers who don’t care as much about the quantity of stuff they are buying, more so the price.

Suggestion: Calculate/display the size (m3) of the items in the buy/multibuy dialogs.
Keywords: UI, Market, Buy/Multibuy Menu
Note: Would be helpful to make sure enough hauling space is available to transfer purchased items.

There are times where it is desirable to fill up the remaining ship hold space with product. Having the size of the purchase order calculate the m3 would help the player arrive at the desired purchase quantity.

Suggestion: Bookmarks in Location window change color when close, or on-grid
Keywords: Bookmarks
Note: Would drastically improve at-a-glance location awareness, especially when running multiple characters

Imgur: Concept image

There are numerous times while playing the game that I have to either move my camera around to find the nearest bookmark and mouse over it just to see where I am… Or I right click on the locations window to see if “Approach Location” is shown for the bookmark I want to be near.

Slightly changing the color of bookmarks that are within a certain distance, or on grid with you would drastically improve this process, especially when operating multiple characters.

Moving multiple toons through wormholes in particular would be a much smoother process, rather than having to check the bookmark at every wormhole before jumping every toon, I would could just look and see if the correct wormhole bookmark is “lit up” or a different color than the rest of the bookmarks.

Suggestion: add the faction/alli/corp icon to the Agent Mission details page in the Opportunities window for missions

Keywords: UI, Opportunities, Mission Journal

Note: often mission briefs (convo with the agent) have the small icon showing the opposing party (corp/alliance/faction), which allows players to select the corresponding ammo, hardener etc types. This icon is missing in the mission description in the new Journal/Opportunities interface.

SUGGESTION: Change the name of the “report isk spammer” button to something that more accurately reflects its purpose, such as “report real-money trading spam” or “report advertising real-money sales”.

image

Keywords: UI, EULA

Notes: A lot of new people assume this button is for reporting people spamming isk-related deals or ingame scams like isk doubling, which almost certainly causes false reports, makes it less useful to CCP, and confuses people about what’s actually against the EULA.

Suggestion: Make the focus area around capacitor larger
Keywords: UI
Please make the focus around the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons for ‘stop ship’ and ‘max speed’ a bit larger, maybe even the entire area the icons are in as focus.

You can use kb shortcuts for quicker navigation:
+/- to accelerate / decelerate
and
Alt+Ctrl+Space / Ctrl+Space for Full Speed / Stop

Suggestion: Pointer Window Bookmark/Location search.

Keywords: UI

For the majority of the history of the game “Locations” (current term) were called “Bookmarks”. I have seen a number of old hats coming back to the game confused when searching for the button to open their bookmarks menu to no avail as it is now called Locations.
The Pointer Window is a handy tool that I’ve used many a time when helping people out, but even I still get tripped up regularly on this name change.

Ergo, I’d like “Bookmarks” (and its various substrings) to be added as a searchable option, that links you to “Locations” as though you were typing “Locations” (or it’s substrings)

Hi there! I would love to see the ability to put notes on the ships in your hangar. Something like how you can put a description when viewing the fitting. To help newer (or less advanced) players keep track of what their ships are good for.

i suggest you read the OP. and edit your post accordingly…

Suggestion: In-Space Right-Click Menu Highlighting.
Keywords: UI
Notes: When I use the Right-Click Menu (RCM) in space why is only my homebase highlighted?
I would like to make add some adjustments of the RCM in space:
In the planet overview you could add an icon to show if you’re doing PI on that planet (like the symbol for PI in Neocom-Menu). The Stations and Stargates Overviews (both NPC) are fine for me. For the Player Structure Overviews (Structures and Stargates) I’d like to see the Standing, if set for Corporation/Alliance, as a Background Colour of the Station Name and the Menu (when I hover over the Name or click on it) of it. Transparency can still be set in the game’s UI Settings. For the same menu it could show docking rights, if they are given or not.
Finally, i would like to have the next jump/dock on my route to be highlighted as well. First in the Category in the RCM (e.g. Stations, Stargates, etc.) to make it easier to find and then the Station/Structure or Stargate itself.
Thanks

Suggestion: Ability to see the implant value when self destroying clone
Keywords: ui, implant
Note: When we are self destroying clone, it asks are you sure, but information with implant or without implant same. It will be nice to have the information which will give the difference.

Suggestion: More Mission Variety
Keywords: missions, npc, distribution, mining

I get Eve puts a lot of focus on the PvP aspect of the game, but the PvE missions for distribution and mining severely lack any variety. Doing the same 3 missions over and over again is not very engaging for anyone.

CCP wants to fix missions, but its so far down the radar, and so old (they don’t like messing with old code) it will be a long while.

Suggestion: The Wallet tab “Market Transactions” needs to have the My Market Orders button.
Keywords: UI, wallet, market, market orders, buttons
Notes: Easy access to market orders from a market related UI element.
