Re: quality of life improvements

Here is a part of my xmas wish list, it is nothing new, but long missed wink
1) Produce, RE, etc from container, very nice would be a possibility to select which container to use to keep track of different projects, top class would be possibility to include corp storage as well as a source, given appropriate rights.
2) Get in transaction windows additional information of the terminal that
belongs to message like "sell item", returned buyorder in a further row
3) possibility to extract complete log at once instead of need to save each side individual
4) reduce the amount of different commodities needed in that cases, when simple items require 4-5 commodities, and simplify in that cases when it is same 3 ores needed.

Re: quality of life improvements

- when split stack you have to click in the window to type in the numbers. you even have to delete the other number first, realy anoying. when i split then next i want to do is type in the numbers. without extra mouse usage.

- when i move stacks into the cargo it should automaticly spit it up so that it will fit. even if i move multible stacks. atm we only get error that its too big.

Re: quality of life improvements

Market search should be:

- If you type something, it will automatically search all categories without you having to click on them.
- If you click on some category, the search term will not be used and usual category content will be shown, unfiltered.

That's probably something small that annoys me the most.

Re: quality of life improvements

When you're selected a wrong boy and already started to deploy when realized that and you can't cancel that - THAT'S annoying.

Re: quality of life improvements

CTRL-A select all please. I'm sure Gargaj can code this in 2 minutes!

Re: quality of life improvements

1. In pop up confirmation boxes auto-focus on the default option button so I can use Enter/Return.
2. Small icon option in personal storage (I know the icons exist they're shown on remote storage)
3. CT points displayed on CT icon
4. Tick box to filter prototypes on/off in market window
5. Auto stack in field containers - Oh, wait! you've already done that one smile

I'm sure I'll think of more. Little things really count. Good topic.

Re: quality of life improvements

The ctrl+a request surfaces every now and then and we always explain that we can't do it since windows have no focus and the client wouldn't know which window it should apply the selection to. A new GUI engine would be needed. (This also applies to the number input and popup focus problems.)

However, as a workaround I was thinking that we could do something like ctrl+doubleclick or any other combination with a click, since that points out the window where you want to select all. Or even doubleclick on empty space in the window.

Re: quality of life improvements

Double click unpack bot.

Double click activate bot

Right click create squad

Adjust windows from all four corners

asset search

Corp asset search

Sub folders for corp hanger

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

I really like the asset/corp asset search idea.

Re: quality of life improvements

double click to unpack and activate sounds awsome. i hate it when the information screen pops up accitently. and it happens a lot.

Re: quality of life improvements

Doubleclick on an unpacked robot already opens its cargo so that can't be used to activate it too.

Re: quality of life improvements

1) Sub-folders! Make private storage similar to how corp storage works. Give me sub-folders or give me death!!   

2) Also, like its be suggested above,  I want to produce, out of/into, a single folder. I don't even need to be able to choose which folder it is.  I just want a folder were all my commodities/cortexes/mods come out of, and all produced items go into.  Or, even better, a second folder where all finished produced items go into.

3) make all produced items Auto stack in my inventory. Yes, I know I can right click and select Storage stack or whatever its called, but I would love if it did this automatically.

Re: quality of life improvements

commodity requirements in the factory screen sorted alphabetically.  (Just like you have the refine drop down!)

When in Squad if the squad leader / squad managers draw on the radar should be in a different colour other than white smile

Re: quality of life improvements

- tier sorting at market, If I want T4 to buy or T3 shouldn't be see all items.

- 2 or 3 circle to the radar to bot amplfier range, and the gun range and even anything you can use, demob distance 3 is should enoguh with cahngable colors

- help the NON communistic groups to PLAY, I mean do an integrated corpmanagement, now the BEST is the COMMUNISTIC modell shouldnt be the only option (For capitalistic modell you need to play the game as leader +many hour more than communistic leader NOT FAIR!)

Re: quality of life improvements

I want a print option for my buy/sell orders.  It would make management so much easier now that I'm trying to supply six alpha terminals.   Simply seeing 10 on a screen at once isn't working so well for me and writing it all out on paper takes too long.

Re: quality of life improvements

Also, one of my biggest gripes.  Why the hell are we limited to a certain number of buy/sell orders?  That is a EP sink that is both stupid and pointless.  If people want to be marketiers like Hydra, let them have unlimited buy/sell orders.

Re: quality of life improvements

- Search or filters in any kind of logs
- Save results of chassis scanner
- Full export of corporation storage logs, or at least daily/weekly/monthly but NOT THAT STUPID 100500 PAGES

Re: quality of life improvements

Patch notes reminded me of one:

Artifact scan shows a unique identifier for each artifact. There a so many situations where not being able to distinguish between the two or three artifacts of the same type is infuriating.
