EVE General Discussion

What I do is this:

1) Double-click to open ship hold
2) Ctrl-a and drag items to Item hangar (if you have so many ships in the ship hangar and for some reason you need to have the ships hangar tree expanded (although why would you need to do that when mining is beyond me) you can simply press alt-G to open the Item hangar)
3) Undock

Come on guys! The new inventory system has its problems but for hauling ore it is obviously superior to the old one :/

Edit: Actually if you leave your cargo hold open before docking (and since you're hauling ore you'll be leaving it open anyway) your ship's cargo will be open in the station. So scratch step 1.

Btw I can't remember if you had that option before but you can have your ship and items tab integrated in the station menu below guests, agents, offices tabs. It's basically the ships and hangar menu shortcuts from the neocom.

The new inventory UI is like a first step in the right direction. Now they need to finish the job. Example like we have for drone wings. You can organize your drones into wings in the drone bay. Then just click on which wing you want to launch and launch it.

This would be automatting repetative tasks. Same needs to be done with the inventory UI. Example be able to create an automatted function to unload all ore from ship cargo bay into hanger inventory after docking and assign it to a clickable link.
Then when you do dock up all you do is click on the clickable link you made to do the function and it is done. One click. You can store as many auto functions as you can create or think of and store it as a one line clickable link. I suppose at some point you could end up with a long scrollable list but that may still be better than multiple clicks to do repetative tasks.

CCP would have to install some error checking into the inventory Ui so that one could not for example use the clickable link to move ore form ship to hanger while still in space and end up lossing all the ore.

I would like to create a clickable link to move all cargo from a wreck into my hold as well. Again error checking required to ask if you want to take contraband or not. This can be done and I do hope they do it.

Vince you are helpful and I appreciate it. As I noted in another post, I think that the act of docking or undocking toggles the state of the cargohold. So if it is open in space, it closes when you dock or visa-versa. At least from the testing that I've done. I agree this is a bug that need to get fixed.

because we all love tiny mouse targets crammed between 2 incorrect targets.

Annoying.

The windows opening and closing is indeed a bug, and should now be fixed. However, there is still a inventory window behavior that should be there, and is not. Here is a "story" for CCP:

When the user docks, all inventory windows are restored to the state (size, screen position, and category displayed) they had when the user last was in station. If this is not possible (category not available at a new location) the window will default to "Item hangar".

When the user undocks, all inventory windows are restored to the state (size, screen position, and category displayed) thay had when the user last was in space. If this is not possible (category not available with a new ship) the window will default to "cargo hold".

Even better if these remembered window states were specific to each station and ship.

Extra clicks add up. Do you remember the original PI clickfest?, I still have carpal tunnel issues from it.

You know Windows Explorer? Like that, only with pretty pictures.

Option is still available in Esc Menu.

That's how I have it, Ships and Items Hangars are merged with station services tabs. Usually the active tab that's open when you undock will still be open when you redock. Basically you'd have the Items Hangar open.



Dock,
click on Items Hangar tab (if not open)
r-click active ship and select 'open cargo hold'
transfer items.
Undock
