May I suggest that we go back to the concise industrial manufacturing UI. This over-bloated top half of the screen, even though it can now be collapsed, does not provide a clear interface of what manufacturers really need.

It doesn't even tell you how much of what you are missing, instead it just tells you how much you have for a particular job.

The old interface was significantly better in many respects.

I appreciate the work that the UI team put into the new interface, but it is a failure. Sorry.

I could not agree more. It adds time to creating jobs. Overall, it was a bad effort. Change it back.

Probably a bit harsh but it does seem weirdly half-finished. How the hell it shipped without unit prices for the input materials for example its hard to know. Laggy as all shite too Sad

Certainly not meant to be harsh. It is just an ease of use issue. The old industry panel was infinitely more useful and concise. They could easily get rid of or compress most of the junk they put in the top portion and add back in the actual useful stuff from the old interface.

They could even add in an export for the materials you need that you are missing. This isn't rocket science.

That said, I like the new look, but if CCP could put the new look and distinct color scheming together with the old functionality, I'd be in love.

The look is cute, but the other much easier and functional. This UI is a mess.

Personally I like the new UI as it keeps things very clear & common for all types of Industry and lets you flip BPO's around quickly.
There are a couple of functionality bits lost from the old UI, but overall it's actually an improvement, and the persistence of settings for BPO also makes it vastly easier to use.

I love it when functionality loses to prettiness. It looks fancy so it must be better...
