EVE UI is Presenting Information too Efficiently

Recent UI changes are continuing to dumb down the game.


  • Missile ranges no longer need to be calculated manually.
  • Skills now show what modules and skills training them will unlock.
  • Tutorials now show information far too clearly.
  • There's now a big - and + sign for making your ship start and stop.


I am not trolling, the war on the sandbox continues with dumbing down the UI a little more every patch.

    • Someone on TS last night said it used to be like this and they changed it to the arrows, so this was just a revert.... confirm/deny?

    What's the difference between dumbing down and improving?

    I think we should be required to steer our ships manually while in warp.

    instead of just pressing hotkeys we should be required to enter commands! and there should be no official release of all of the commands to even undock!

    I can't believe how insulting this game is. I mean... why don't they require us to control each thruster's output individually? I feel like it's just too dumbed down, with all this "automatic turning" 'n crap...

    Usablity is dumbing down the game?

    This is the dumbest thing I have seen you say and you have said some dumb ass ****.

    So a ****** UI with funky controls is pixel macho?

    This just takes the cake.

    about: "I think we should be required to steer our ships manually while in warp"

    Like DDR, depending how good/bad you are you land somewhere else, like inside a planet/sun (which would then destroy your ship, not bump you) Blink

    - information that was in the info window is now also in a popup tooltip
    - information that was in the item window is now also in the skill window
    - noobs get information from the game, not google
    - buttons are easier to find.
