Good evening everyone, Good evening to the CCP Research team, whom I thank. I participated today in the survey questionnaire regarding the Cradle of War expansion. I want to clarify here that I did not participate for the PLEX. Therefore, I do not wish to be entered into the drawing to win 2500 PLEX. My participation in this survey was primarily motivated by conviction, and also because I sincerely believe that CCP has the capacity to bounce back and offer us a small miracle in the future. The leaders of the former CCP, and therefore of FENRIS today, simply need to re-evaluate their approach and accept a completely different vision for EVE Online—namely, the vision of one of the last remaining veteran players of the franchise. I sincerely hope my contribution will receive their full attention, as I believe it is in their best interest, as well as that of all players. Happy reading and best of luck with the rest of your project. Ully Loom “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Friedrich Nietzsche ---

The problem with the new starter space is that it doesn’t help (new) player to communicate. Players feel lonely even when on the same grid. In other MMOs chat is essential part of the UI, but in Eve it’s just a single window out of a million windows. To really connect players to each other do the following: - Spawn new players in a crowd, not alone in a space. - Place Exordium agents not (only) at stations, but in space, so players interacting with that agent can see each other. Later you can teach player that agents give missions at stations only outside of Exordium (except for COSMOS agents). - When players are close to each other (single grid, single station, single agent) - open grid, station and agent chat windows automatically, so players can communicate with each other in close vicinity. - You can even add popup text above the player ships in a space. - Make double click or the first item in ship context menu to open a chat with that pilot. Otherwise it feels like you actively dodge all obvious communication possibilities for players. This will require significant UI overhaul. ---

The newly added ‘Star Cradle’ background which features the starry background of this expansion is broken. The background features nice stars in the corners, however as of a couple of months these same corners of all portraits **are cropped away.** This results in a much more plain background without all the constellations and stars that should be part of the corners. Here’s how the corners look like in the character window of an alliance member I found with the background: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/6/8/c/68ced4d4ec45f0dae8c908269442a6253bc56f48.png) You can barely see anything of the effect. Here’s how the corners should look like (in the full portrait): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/0/b/7/0b764e9d98c522cf23462e4b3a9dbb5b0bcc58d4.jpeg) A huge difference! Please fix the character window portrait cropping issue already. We get a square canvas for our portraits, why crop 35% of it away? ---
