Yes the Strip Fitting and Undock options remain right next to each other on the contextual menu when you are docked. And no, no one knows why this has never been fixed. And no there is still no Shark Teeth skin for the Comet or Dramiel - and that is a crime against humanity. And while we here at Eveoganda HQ remain hopeful these oversights will be corrected someday soon - we also have a new one we'd like to recommend gets fixed sooner rather than later.
For those of us who live in Factional Warfare Low Security space and regularly rely on the in-game FW map system - we are confused as to why the regular empire map and the new insurgency maps are so, so, so, so very different. This is insanely confusing and needlessly complicated. Are there two master map UI designers at CCP and someone decided to let each of them have a go at designing a map system? Was there a fight about it? Did the Senior person lose the second time?
Despite this weirdness I think we've all managed to figure out how to live with it. That's what we do. Us Eve players take what CCP gives us and we manage to figure it out and live with it. Sometimes we even figure out ways to exploit it, or take advantage of it. We're pretty awesome players that way. And the maps aren't even the thing I'm here to ask about today. Nope, today is all about bubbles.
We can have bubbles in Low Sec now. Sometimes. In rare cases. Which is fine, I actually like this addition and I think it brings even more variety into our space. All well and good. But we need a visual designation that is easy to see that indicates the system you are about to jump into has that potential. An icon perhaps on the gate that shows you that the system you are about to enter has bubble potential. And once in that system, that bubbles are currently allowed in the system. This information is available, and here is where the problem with the map comes back around, but it is not easy to find.
And I love those crazy insurgency gates with all the nasty posters and light show effects on them. Well done. And sure there is an indiction of the insurgency level present already on those gates - but I still feel like we need an icon or something both on the entry gates AND inside the system. For example, last night I logged off 15 jumps from home after a roam. This morning I logged in to that system to travel back home. The situation I left with last night had changed, systems had evolved. It'd be great to be able to tell that just by glancing up at the system information icons in the top left of my screen. Like a normal person.
The addition of the triangles in the auto-pilot stream was a great touch. Much appreciated. Now let's add a clever bubble icon to the system information icons in the top left of the screen - so at a glance I can know this system is one that will allow bubbles. As a solo player, as a FC, I think this would be super great to have.
And while you are at it you can move the Strip Fitting option away from the Undock option.
And then we can talk about those Shark Teeth skins. Which would be the most popular skins ever introduced into the game.
Thanks.
