Player Features and Ideas Discussion

OK. First I have to say that I'm not gonna jump on the bash-bandwagon. I did that for a while and althought it was released way too early, the UI is decent overall.

That being said, I would like to request the following additions & fixes (that have still yet to be applied).

1) Fix - Corp Hangars still take way to long to load. They used to be 1~2 sec, but are more like 10+ sec w/ the new UI. I hope iteration will get this fixed eventually.

2) Add - The ability to group filters.

- Mindset: Filters are awesome. It allows you to store everything in one actual container, which speeds up the entire system (programatically). Using a filter is much better than separating by containers. However, there is limited room on the screen for several dozen filters w/o scrolling and it would be nice to group them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I plan on testing this theory w/ several hundred thousands of items we have in our corp hangar/containers and use filters to see if that speeds up the process of sorting/grabbing stuff faster

3) Add - The ability to import/export filters. Unless I'm smoking crack, this is missing. It would be extremely useful in that one person can create the necessary base filters for their corp and then export to their corp-mates. Creating filters is a tedious process.

4) 'Group' / 'Module' list is extremely long. Either separate module sub-groups out by type (i.e. shield/armor/etc), or add the following to the module sub-list 'all shield/all armor". This is not a game killer, but it would be nice to create one filter w/ all shield modules in it without having to add 11 item filters. This time the number of people that need/should be using them (since there is no import/export).

5) Add more to the condition than 'is/is not'. Yes boolean is extremely easy, but you implemented the UI, with a great potential (filters) and ham-stringed it. Coding in items like 'contains', 'starts with', 'ends with' are relatively easy.

Anywho, I agree w/ most in that it was a good start, but released way to early. With a little more development, the UI can significantly enhance overall EVE gameplay.


*Caveat... I apologize if some of this has been posted before. I've been reading thru the forums and found a few additions here and there, but most were disgruntled ramblings. I thought it would be better to re-address this in a new thread, tie-in old/new requests, and follow-up from there.

Also can we get the secondary "current ship cargo" to at least close itself when changing ships? Having it open the new ship's cargo would be great too but at least the old system just closed the old one for you.

I just want to see the 'closed/open' state of the main window be seperated between space and station...b/c i don't need that big screen open in space, but it can be handy in station...just not the need to close it every undock and open it every dock...you got the persistence half way done.

Also, can i please, pretty please, access my drone bay/hangers of my ships w/o that stupid tree? Also, would be nice to be able to get to those parts of 'inactive' ships like before this hogwash happened...(without using the tree)

I couldn't personally care less about the filters as i have yet to even use them...(especially since they take up valuable tree scrolling space)...if i can't find something fast i just use the 'search' box in the corner...like i did since i started.

Op you forgot the most annoying part of the inventory: lag

Lag.

Lag.

Lag.

Ho did I just mentioned lag?

Sorry, it's probably because of lag.

f*ck off with the unified inventory. its still annoying the hell out of me because everything is attempted to open in the same window, which I simply do not want because its bad UI.
No more of the unified inventory CR*P, give us back the old one!!!!!!!!

Would also be nice if double-clicking on containers to open them actually worked more than half the time.
