Having a clock in Eve time would be fantastic. It is hard to coordinate with pilots in Eve time, and with Dust players in different timezones. I'd prefer it if there was a clock in the neocom. I'll probably get used to converting the time eventually, but I'd love a clock that shows Eve time anywhere in the game. I think part of the problem for some Dust players (like myself) is because we are coming from the console FPS world into the Eve universe, which we are not used to. I think getting Dust mercs to use Eve time will make it easier to go from Dust to Eve. Setting up an Eve account is getting kind of tempting :O.

So just a chat message basically, but an easy way to do it quickly? Before the battle or during (or both)?
I think this is to make it easier for Eve pilots to get to certain locations on time. I would love timestamps on chat messages. As a Dust merc timestamps are more important to me, partially because I have to convert the time to a 24 hr clock and then GMT, and because it makes stuff easier to coordinate if we know what time it was said.
After re-reading what Kain Spero posted, I realize that my chat stamp request is slightly off-topic from what Kain Spero had in mind, so sorry about that. I believe Kain Spero wants to make it easier for Dust mercs to tell Eve pilots when and where they need to be. As a merc, I am instantly teleported to a system, but apparently Eve pilots need to fly and go through gates and stuff.
From personal experience, I have seen most of my support organized out of game instead of in. It would be nice if the process was streamlined. |
