Subject says it all really.

I for one would love to have Station Services, Items and Ships all in the same window, with tabs running in its current default position. It'd free up a ton of room on the hanger screen and generally make it feel a lot neater.

:not sure if serious:

hit escape, go to the third tab along, click merge ships and items with station hanger - or something...

I was aiming for a stacked windows, not tabs next to guests/agents/offices, that way you can have a lot bigger window. as it stands the corp logo and enter CQ bit takes up so much room this is entirely pointless.

Can you not simply stack the windows like you can any other window in the game?

there is no problem with the way thingsa re setup when docked, everything is easily maneuvered and reachable. and honestly i think adding just tons of tabs instead of the GOOD station setup we ahve now, woudl make the agme look UGLY, yeah UGLY.

the nice icons and whatnot are GOOD cause you dotn ahev to read and be like "is this the right tab?" you just glance at the icon and click, and there ay go, your stuff.

You can not, its the only one that doesn't stack

In the current system when you merge them you can see the whole of 7 items at a time unless you resize the window to such that it covers up the ship and any open fitting/market window you might have defeating the entire purpose of wanting them merged in the first place.

Also the tabs are there in the current system, moving them to the top of the window doesn't change what your going on about at all.

drew, i suppose many, including myself, cant really grasp what you would like to see. could you provide a mockup / scetch of the changes to the UI you are envisioning and link it in your top post? this would probably make discussion easier for all of us.

I think it's not something to worry about

Also I guess I could of been clearer, and extended out with:

Making the Station Services window stackable with other windows
