The blinking Neocom menu icons get annoying, especially when I’ve got the Agency tab that likes to pop off constantly when there’s a new anom. Can we either have it made a solid hue or brightness change, or have the opportunity to set it that way?

Suggestion: View total ISK on buy/sell orders window
Keywords: UI, Market
Note: Useful for people with less of a math background than me
A picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s my short essay:
Being able to see at a glance how much ISK orders will cost to fill or will pay off if filled will be really useful.
In particular the ability to sort by this column would be something I use all the time.

Suggestion: Ammo queuing while reloading ammo
Keywords: Gameplay, UI
Note: Sometimes while reloading ammo you have realised that you are loading the wrong type and cannot change ammo until the reloading process is finished. Might I suggest being able to ‘queue’ an existing ammo in your cargohold/wherever you store ammo [with the same right-click action for reloading ammo/dragging ammo to the module while it is reloading] so that it automatically begins reloading with the right ammo type that you want for whatever modules/groups you have. Laser turrets would not really need this since crystals are instantly reloaded.
It should also be made available for other ammo needing modules such as cap boosters.

Suggestion: Ability to choose/purchase Upwell hanger interior.
Keywords: Upwell, hanger
Note: Some hangers are better than others. It would be cool if we could choose our own hanger interior on Upwell structures. I personally have a preference for Gallente station interiors, I’m betting others have preferences as well.

Suggestion: Remove extra clicks for exclusive branches in the ship simulator
Keywords: Simulator
Note: For items like rigs and subsystems there are extra layers of nesting which will never have more than one submenu category (ships will have either small rigs or medium rigs, but never both). It would be nice to remove this extra level of nesting so if I click rigs > armor rigs it shows all the armor rigs of the appropriate size.

I would like to see a change made to the modules bar so that consumable items, such as Blue Pills, can be dragged onto the module bar and used as buttons
This would be very similar to how potions can be dragged to hotbars in many RPGs
Having to keep the cargo open and sized properly for this purpose is a particularly hard edge in the UI…

Suggestion: Be able to contract items from delivery hangar

Alternative:
Suggestion: Put delivered items to normal hangar
Keywords: Hangar, upwell structures
In Upwell Structures you have option to deliver items to other players. The delivered items go directly to the deliveries hangar.
Items in delivery hangar can not be interacted with remotely. So player A delivers item to player B. Player B realizes that the items are really far away and wants to give them away to someone else. There is no way to give them away at all without physically travelling to the location where the items are.

Suggestion: In Journal, replace “This mission expires…” with “5d 2h 3m”
Keywords: Journal, Missions, UI Text
The current text “This mission expires at 2050.1.1 25:15” is quite hard on the eyes and you have to manually calculate the exact remaining time up until very close to expiration time when the format changes, which gets tedious - especially when having many missions active at once. This would help having a clear picture about the remaining times after a single glance. Should be quite easy to implement too.
Finally, if someone felt the exact date shouldn’t be missing, either add “(YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM)” at the end of the remaining time counter or add it as a hover tooltip for even more legibility.

Suggestion: more shutdown notifications
Keywords: shutdown, notification
Note: At the moment there are some shutdown messages which appears beginning from 1 hour before the daily shutdown happens. I think this can be immproved:
- Send a message to each pilot who logs on dureing the shutdown phase (1 hour before shutdown) which should prevent losses because you have not watched the clock (or if you are new to eve).
- Make a setting to give a warning message if you want to undock during the one hour shutdown period. (Something like if you want to undock with offline modules.)
- Maybe add the shutdown countdown somewhere on the screen.

Suggestion: default location for input and output
Keywords: input container, output container, industry, default, blueprints, reaction formulars
Note: At the moment the game saves for each blueprint or reaction the input and output container. If you have a lot of them it would be great the set default input and output containers for blueprints and reactions.
So you can easily tab trought all your blueprints if you e.g. are searching for what you can produce with the current materials you have.

Suggestion: Ability to assign a choice of colours to each market order in the Wallet window’s Orders tab.
Keywords: UI, QoL, wallet, market, orders, colour
As a character’s number of market orders increases, so does the workload to manage your market activities.
For the purpose of making it easier to maintain your market orders, a player could right click on any order in your WALLET window (orders tab), and assign a colour to it. The order would then appear on the orders tab in that window with a background of that colour, right across the table. The colours should not appear in the MARKET window (for obvious reasons).
For example, you might assign red for orders that are hot on the market and require a lot of attention, or blue for orders that don’t need to be checked very often. A player can develop whatever system they choose for each colour.
Alternatively, a new column of data could be added, where the player could assign a colour to each order. This would have the added advantage of being able to sort/filter the table by colour. So, if a player wants to assign yellow to orders that only require checking once a week, they could sort by that colour, and then check just those orders much more quickly and easily, instead of having to navigate through the entire list of orders.
Either way, a selection of half a dozen or so colours at a minimum would be nice, although it is understood that the text of the order still needs to be clearly readable.
Thank you

Suggestion: Add option “Match price” when rightclicking sell orders
Keywords: market
Note: I’ve been typing in those prices the same way for ages, always matching someone else’s price, why not automate it.
So clicking the option would open up window to set up new sell order, with price already filled out. And ready to be scrolled down for that 0.01 isking for those few that are into that kind of thing. Should reduce mistyping as well.
You could maybe check for item availability after clicking, maybe giving an error like “The same item was not found ready to be sold from item hangar at the same location”

Suggestion: Add a “attempt to buy all” button to the ship simulation window
Keywords: ui, multibuy, market, fittings, modules
Note: Make it easier to buy a “standard type” ship and also easier to buy a ship that must be rigidly fit to adhere to a fleet doctrine.
Right now it’s a bit of a pain to buy a new hull you already have planned, or to replace a ship you just lost, because you have to do a market search for every item that’s part of the fit and install it.
I’d like to see a button on the fittings page that allows you to go down the list from hi-slot 1 to the last low-slot and view the market details in turn, or even automatically open the buy interface if there is one in your local station.
It would rapidly speed the process and reduce meaningless clicking and searching for each module in turn as you buy a planned fit, or a fit from your corporation’s doctrines.

Suggestion: Don’t Auto-Move Overlapping Locked Pinned Windows
Keywords: ui, windows, pin, lock
Note: Keeping everything exactly in place
I have a very specific window arrangement which in some cases results in windows existing exactly on top of each other. Whenever I re-open a window that would generate exactly on top of another window, it is moved slightly down and to the right, presumably to indicate that there is another window hidden underneath it. This makes sense from an intuition perspective, as you want to make sure people understand there’s a window underneath your new one, but it can be quite frustrating when I have everything on lock and perfectly positioned and have to constantly unlock and re-adjust a window every time I open a new instance of it. It’s a trivial detail, sure, but screen real estate is a rare commodity for me so I need every pixel I can get.
So as a compromise I’m suggesting that, only when a window is pinned and the “Lock Windows When Pinned” option is on (which is off by default so it wouldn’t affect inexperienced players), new instances of windows are actually generated exactly where they were pinned and locked, rather than being automatically moved.

Suggestion: Hide System Info Through Translucent Windows
Keywords: ui, transparency, blur
Note: Maybe just a bug?
This is possibly just a bug with the latest window blur update as I don’t really remember encountering this issue before, but now when you have a pinned translucent window over the System Info panel the text from the latter bleeds through, making it much more difficult to parse what’s actually in the window. You should just prevent the System Info from showing up through other windows no matter their transparency.
