Overview Enhancements Coming

Thank Cthulhu, these are a loooooooong time coming. CCP Tuxford started a new dev blog about some coming changes in the next patch having to do with the overview.

When someone uses either an EWAR module or propulsion jamming module on you, an icon is displayed in the corresponding overview entry. The types are aggregated so if “Joe” is using 4 sensor dampeners on you you only get one icon. Also lacking is a gauge of how much effect the EW is having on you.

So we can finally quickly see who’s doing what to us in the middle of those crazy frantic fights. No more spinning the camera around wildly looking for the effects and who’s emanating them.

Also coming, overview tabs with unique settings for each, and bracket filtering so you an finally not see icons in space that you don’t want to see. Pretty sweet stuff, I can’t wait. 🙂

EVECast Ends

According to this thread, EVECast has just broadcast its final episode.

A bit short lived, and only recently finding itself a good balance of pace and content, this was a really nifty community effort that will be sorely missed. I was hoping this would be a grassroots version of EVE TV, but according to the final broadcast the level of effort required to put out the shows was too great for just one man.

Here’s to hoping VampireZIM’s load lightens and he’s able to come back to this project in the future.
