Little things / Small QoL suggestions

Suggestion: Increase the dragging speed on the 2D map

Keywords: ui, 2D map
Note: When dragging the 2D map with the mouse, large mouse movement result in small scrolling distance, on my opinion it would be better to have them 1:1, or at least greatly increased
It is currently something like 5:1

Suggestion: Industrial Livery skins for the Pioneer

I know this is for the art team, but I thought I’d put it here where someone watches.

I suppose Pioneers should also be added to NPC mining fleets, but I haven’t seen if they are already there.

Suggestion: Ability to refresh a market order without changing the price

Keywords: market

Note: An order can be placed to a maximum length of 90 days. When that timer is nearing the end, we need to change the order with a different price to refresh it and set the timer back to 90 days. To do that, we already have the “Modify Order“ window, but it does nothing if the price is not changed. My suggestion is to simply refresh the market order when the entered price is the same as the old one. No UI work required.

Suggestion: The info tooltip on contracts in the contract list should name the Region in the “Location” line.
Keywords: UI, contracts, contract search, tooltips, tooltip information
Note: Make it easier to see where arcane systems are located without cumbersome methods like Set Destination to Pick-Up Location".

Suggestion: Storyline Agent Counter

Keywords: Agent Missions
Note: Tracking Storyline Missions

I’d like to be able to see how many normal missions I need to complete to get a storyline mission so I can make it happen with a specific corp.

you’re just gonna have to count how many missions, that or move closer to the agent that has the corp you want..
16 missions of the same faction/level = closest storyline agent
if you leave that agent alone, then it moves to the next available agent, then the next etc..

Suggestion: Automatically close cargo window when looting

Keywords: UI

Note: At the moment, when you open a loot can or a wreck and click on “Loot All“ button, the window does not close, but switches the view to your cargo hold. You have to close the window manually each time you loot from a can or a wreck. Closing the window automatically when clicking “Loot All“ should reduce UI clutter and the amount of unnecessary clicks.

Yeah… and not needing to count would be a nice QoL improvement. Especially for people that take brakes with the game.

Suggestion: D-scanning from the system locations list.

Keywords: system locations list, booksmarks, d-scanning.

V-rightclick should work on the system locations list.

Suggestion: Favorites tab (as default) in the the “Deliver Items to” window

Keywords: item exchange, Multiple accounts
Note: Over 95% of the items I deliver (not trade!), i deliver in between alts

Nearly all of my deliveries happen between a handful of characters (basically all of them being my alts), i would love it, if the “Deliver Items To” Window would let you favorite characters in the search window and would default open to said new favorite tab, so that i can quickly select the character instead of having to search for them every single time.

Suggestion: Cursor size fix whilst UI is upscaled.

Keywords: UI, upscaling
Note: The cursor size doesn’t get upscaled.

It stays relatively very small on a 4k screen if if upscale the UI by 200%. I also loose track of it completely in white backgrounds where the nebulas are example white. No matter how much I move it I often struggle to find it.

Suggestion: Infrastructure Hold - Infomorph Decryption Key carry.

Keywords: cargo, merc den, mercenary den
Note: Offensive/Defensive capability increase for certain ships with Infrastructure hold.

This would give new extended capabilities for the upwell hauler line. I think mercenary dens’ Infomorph Decryption Keys should be able to go into the Infrastructure Hold as they are directly connected to the skyhooks. The upwell haulers have been introduced for this purpose. My favorite capability that this would open up is the use of upwell blockade runner to get those Infomorph Decryption Keys that takes a lot of space to anywhere you wish to a little bit safer or a lot more at once.

Highly doubt they would do this but I support the idea. It would be great if I could give out a job to an other of my alt or anyone else to do some PI space trucking. I don’t see the reason why everyone needs to be a trucker when it comes to PI.

Suggestion: If Compact Mode hides the search field in a window, the Search Field should move to the 3 dots menu or right click menu.
Keywords: UI, Photon, hangars, item, search, search box, rightclick menu, menu, 3 dots
Note: Make it possible to search for real without the buggy hidden fake search.

Hardcoded in the game, cant fix it easily

Change the skill name of Command Ships to Command Battlecruisers to match with Command Destroyers

Suggest : Monthly expense report summary for corp ceo

You get individual line in the corp wallet, but it would nice if we could get a monthly report giving the total for each category.

Ratting tax, service fee, poco tax,…

Suggestion: Remove pilot’s name from the default ship name

Keywords: UI, ships, names

Notes: When a ship is assembled, a default name is suggested that includes pilot’s name. This has been a complete annoyance since the launch of the game. The naming window was introduced recently, but surprisingly the pilot’s name was still included by default. No one sane is going to advertise their ship type on the scanner, so it’s almost mandatory to change it. It’s a chore, it’s repetitive and it’s absolutely annoying knowing that probably editing one line of code and simply not including pilot’s name would fix it. There is nothing wrong with having just the ship type as the default name.

It took them 15 years to change one line of text in the new player tutorial so they would stop asking “How do I mine Tritanium?” ten thousand times a day in Rookie Help chat, so I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you…
