Quote: Firstly, the way standings are calculated for color tags in the overview and so on. Currently the code goes down the list of tags, checks if a pilot (or whatever) meets the criteria for each in turn, and as soon as it finds a match it uses that tag. When it comes to standings, it checks to see if any standings (personal, corp or alliance) that apply meet the criteria. This means that, in the default setup with the blues first, it's essentially "highest standing counts". (If you flip the tag ordering, you can force it to do "lowest standing counts" instead, I believe.)
The change we'd like to make here, at least as far as it relates to in-space tags, is to make alliance standings override corp standings, and corp standings override personal standings. (It would go alliance-alliance, alliance-corp, alliance-personal, corp-alliance and so on.) This means that you can have friendly personal relationships with people in enemy alliances (which is relevant to EVE Gate functionality), but have them still show up red in space.
As it is now we can adjust the overview to set priority to however we want it. This is fantastic as we can have different overview settings for different activities. Ones where you want to see your corpies/fleet mates and one where you can't for instance. You seem oblivious to this, so I find it upsetting that you want to make changes to it. In fact, the changes you are proposing are already doable. If you want to set that as default, fine with me, but don't take away our options.
Quote: Secondly, corporate membership lists (for player corps). Currently you can see this in two places: in your P&P, and in the corp interface. We'd like to remove it from P&P, because it doesn't really belong there, and we've been discussing adding it to the corp's "show info" instead. The question then is whether the corp member list should be globally viewable, or just viewable to corporate members. This becomes more complicated when you add EVE Gate to the picture, because if you have the same publically viewable information there as in show info, it's considerably easier to build a corp membership database by simply pulling all the pages and associating names with corporations. The info is obviously already available through the client in principle, but compiling it is a non-trivial exercise; a web version simplifies it considerably. Opinion is still divided here on whether this is a serious issue or not.
We welcome feedback on both these issues!
Corp lists should not be viewable globally as its war intel. Opening the rosters just so you can have a pseudo-eve-facebook is like the tail wagging the dog. You aren't doing it to help eve. In many cases it would hurt eve players. But you want to do it anyway for the sake of your facebookey thing.
If you are going to implement it, all I ask is this: Make it optional.
