Regarding this, is it possible to also make the amount input auto-select when you click inside the input field? Not sure if my description is understandable lol, so instead of this:

it would be this when I click inside the input field, allowing me to immediately change the value:

It’s not like I can’t do it manually, but it’d feel a bit smoother that way :slightly_smiling_face: Great change even without that, though! Feels much better to use.

Do multi contracts also apply to LM ads? I’d love to be able to put up bundle ads

It applies to all contracts.

I have to look into that.

Just for custom contracts at the moment, as we think that is the biggest pain point. We might do it for LM ads in the future as well.

I missed the line about the MTRA change on my first pass through these notes and didn’t notice it until I encountered it in the game. This is such a small change that feels so much better. Thanks, molp!

5000t is a lot for bases which have only 6500t of storage with one warehouse. Are there any plans for base storage changes? Warehouses which add ti a base inventory, not a separate inventory?

Glad to see the qol changes to notifications and contracts made it too.

The MAT HCB command/buffer has a typo- it’s displayed as 500t/m^3

That value is correct. The weight and volume refers to the kit itself. Once it is built into a ship it will provide 5k t and 5k mÂł. Same goes for all kits. Here is the small one for example, which provides 500/500:

Sorry for the ruckus, I’ve been playing Eve recently and must’ve gotten mixed up between the interfaces.

For the MTRA command - any chance we can add the amount to the command, so you could write “MTRA RAT from, to 5” which would move 5 RAT?

Also, the HCB is going to trigger a land rush as people realize that they need BTS and W (in large amounts) to build these things.

But great update!
