UI suggestion for easier item handling (with picture)

Everyone knows the problem with damaged crystals and unstackable blueprints.

My suggestion is this.

Blueprints and damaged crystals should be stackable. If you open the stack, you open something like a container.
I know that you can buy a container for every kind of blueprint or ammo, etc. But this is much better I think.
And the most important for me is that you can see the ME/PE of blueprints and how damaged Crystals are.
The same should be done for all modules that are damaged.

Its only a preliminary idea. What do you think?

Interresting indeed. +1

It could be a contextual list of item that appears when you hover a stack for more than, like, 2 seconds. Plus it gives the choice to either stack them or keep them seperated like right now.

I also like the idea of seeing item specific stats on the icon. Looks pretty useful to see how damaged is a specific laser or mining crystal.

I thought about that, too. But that would be so much 2011 and not 1990(what EvE UI is). Big smile

I like the on icon runs/me/pe. Not the stacks though.

+1. it has already been suggested in the new litte things thread, but i will reference this in the evelopedia page because of the nice mockup!

maybe refine the topic headline like "blueprints: show ME, PE and runs on item icon / for each item"?

also...
- maybe if an item is damaged it could also directly be shown on an item icon? like a percentage number on red background?
- have identical BPC be stackable?

in your mockup you could confuse the number of runs with the stacked item count. maybe move runs also to top right? (below ME/PE)?

check the moderated 10000 papercuts evelopedia page! http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Little_things_and_ideas_-_low_hanging_fruit_-_10000_papercuts comment, bump(!) and like what you like
