On the "automatically call for help" feature, there are many voices both for and against. Allowing you to go to the overview map directly gives you the opportunity to make a tactical decision if it's better to respawn in a new location or run from where you are.

I can think of two possible changes of the top of my head that might improve the system (apart from fixing actual bugs of missing icons, etc):
1. We always show the bleed out icon, but with some ammendment or color change if the player actually calls for help.
2. We allow you to configure automatic "call for help" when in bleedout.

What do you think?

Show the bleed out, and let us get injected like before. Then let us choose whether or not we want to accept the revive.

This is the only one that makes sense.

Send this man some free isk.

NO. meanwhile the poor logi running him bum to u get shot for nothing... leave it as is, just modify the "dude killed meh" screen, and add the configurational option..

Then give him the WPs for it. It's a stupid mechanism to begin with. This game is not about KDR. It shouldn't cater to people who are striving to be number one on the KDR. If they choose to cater to them it needs to be in a way that doesn't spoil the role I've chosen for the game. There was already a huge problem with blueberries just bleeding out. While I'm not that worried about the overall mechanics of public matches it is still a problem in important battles. I played my first 30 games trying to figure out how to find people to revive. I ended up taking the nanite injector off of my suit. It's back on now, but I don't hardly ever use it because I still don't fully understand it. I am trainable, I'm no dummy. It shouldn't be rocket science.
