Summary

Anytime you jump through a gate, through a jump bridge, relog, or do anything else that is considered a "session change" the client forgets any passwords you have entered for your ship. This is especially frustrating when using "jump bridges" on friendly POS that don't belong to your corporation. Each time you use a bridge the password must be re-entered. The same could be said for friendly POS shields which require a password as it can only be typed in after you've entered the solar system.

Solution

I propose that CCP look into adding the function of EVE client remembering passwords between session changes. This could be done by a few possible ways.

• Client (using current system) remembers ship password until the user logs out.
• A new interface menu is added where user may store a few passwords and chooses which one is "active" at any moment. Each time the user logs in anew they must reselect the "active" password.

Pros

• This would remove the tedious headache of re-entering passwords all the time.
• The system could be set so disconnects do not clear password when otherwise a ship would bounce off shields if ship emergency warps back in too quickly.

Cons

• This change would require some coding time on the part of CCP.
