We check the tactical benefit of said entity VS the cluttering it causes on both the Overview Window List and the Ship Brackets.
If we aren't sure about the cost/benefit, we will usually:
- Ask for direct feedback on the chat channel.
- Ask for direct feedback on mass email via the maiiling list.
- Summon testers to evaluate a pre-build and reach a consensus.
- Run a Strawpoll.
Sadly the game has a character limit on the Name's input field in addition to some other restrictions:
Character limit.Increased from 40 to 80 on the September 2016 release.Cannot input capital letters.Added on the September 2016 release.- Cannot input HTML tags (
<color>
&<fontsize>
):
- There is not an easy solution to this aside from saving as a new preset with default style and shorter name.
- The "not so easy" solution is to save the preset "as is", export the Overview Profile and edit the Preset name on the .YAML file directly with a text editor.
- Replace<
and>
with<
and>
respectively in the .YAML file.- We will reach out to CCP to suggest a small feature patch to widen/remove these limits.
This is a known issue due to bad a sync between the Overview profile and the game.
To fix it you need to open yourOverview Settings
window and click theShips
tab, this will force a resync.
The prefered method is to use the Google Form Link next to the Green Feedback Text, both in the MOTD and the Mailing List welcoming mail.
Other methods are:
If you have an "entity" in front of you in space, you can right click it and select
Add/Remove X to/from the Overview
Or open your Overview settings window, go to theTab Presets
tab, and then theTypes
sub-tab.
Either use the filter to locate the specific entity or look through the list, then check/uncheck the entity(s) you want.
Open your Overview settings window, go to the
Tab Presets
tab, and then theStates
sub-tab.
Locate the specific State and select how you want it to be displayed with one of its 3 options to the right.
