The NeoCom is modular - if you want something on the main page - drag and dropped it onto it.... You can full customize it to the order and the important things you want.

Just my opinion but... The new neocom sucks!

Please,

for the sake of the continuum,

Make the flashing CHAT channel button in the neocom go away.

make is stop!!

i'd like to be able to organise my items folder by having more tabs that i can name ie

scrap, ore, weapons, etc

1 huge box is quite sad really

Couple comments:

1: I don't see it in the patch notes but it looks like you improved the new font rendering. It's definitively more readable and finally on par, if not surpasses, the old font. Took long enough but at least it was fixed.

2: Need to add the ability to add sub-tabbed or tabbed information as top level buttons (even if they don't have a pretty graphic). Basically I want a button not just for "journal" but for "journal agents" and "journal expeditions". I don't want a button for "wallet", I want a button for "wallet orders tab" and "wallet transaction tab". I'm fine if they all have the same generic wallet graphic, as long as I can mouse over them to know which is which.

3: Need the ability to add "null" or "blank" buttons so you can create visual spaces between the different buttons allow you to visually group them on the bar. i.e maybe I want a "pvp" group of buttons and a "pve" group of buttons. Yes I can do this with "add group" function but that's an extra click. I want top level buttons that I can group visually (and I need a space/null/empty button to allow this).

I understand the new UI is a work in progress but right now it doesn't save me any extra time over the old one. #2/#3 above would go a long way towards that. #1 is just props.

The new neocom looks good, but needs some upgrading yet.

Maybe making the undock button larger, not a part of the neocom, with a slight space between them.

Clock calendar button should show at least the day, could have full date show on mouse over.

Having every single thing that is opened show up as an info icon, as said before is just redundant, and puts to many

things on the neo com making it more confusing. Change info icons to belter represent what is there.

The ability to change icons for group that are made, suggestion would be to be able to choose one of the items with the

group to represent it, belter distinguishing groups.

The chat bars.

Not being able to minimize these could have an effect, most noticeable I think being local, a work around for this may be

collapsing it into its bar (haven’t tried it yet, hope that’s still an option).

As mentioned above, to many icons on the neocom, when the window is open don’t have an icon representing it.

Been noticing that having to many chats in a a single window wont minimize them properly to the neocom, you still have an

icon there, where a single window will minimize and remove the icon.

And local, maybe the neocom simply needs a local notification showing how many are there, would remove the need to

show local for that purpose only.

Its surprising that you don’t listen to feedback and make changes based on that, an example would be the af changes, a majority where for these changes except for the mwd change, honestly I didn’t expect this to go through form the amount of negative feedback about it, yet you ignored this and pushed it through anyhow, this is one of the things that should change, start listening to your player base, many of which have been playing this game for much longer then myself and have good ideas of what they are talking about.
Same thing can be said about the new names, seems to me a majority of your player where not in favor of this change.




"I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL"

Really, this made you that angry, I to think the renaming of these items was an unnecessary move on ccp’s part, but I certainly don’t wish any harm to any one because of it. That coment was not called for, next time just make your point.

Seconded, please remove this. It serves no purpose.

TBH the neocom was not broken, sure the skill bar is nice bu making the buttons larger and removing some important ones that we have to manually add in like contracts was unneeded.

1. Windows could be minimized into bars at the bottom of the screen, which was a very convenient feature that has now been pretty much disabled. Please bring it back.

2. The above is in particular inconvenient when it comes to chat windows. Being able to see just one of the minimized chat bars blinking was very nice. Now I don't know if it's blinking because someone said something in a popular public channel (thus I may not wish to expand the window to read it) or if it was something said in corp (which I may very well want to read).

3. The generic "i" button in the Neocom for just about every open window for which there's not already a Neocom icon. I don't need a button for the scanner window, there's already one on the HUD. I also don't need a button for cargo containers, assembly arrays, corp hangars, etc. This is when being able to minimize windows to visible bars at the bottom of the screen is very useful. Seriously, do away with the "i" for most (if not all) things and bring back minimized windows.

4. Module names. WHY OH WHY? Serious question: CCP, do you think your playerbase is that dumb that they can't remember a few module names? If someone uses a module, they remember what it's called, and people in general are pretty good at remembering words. What's worse is that now there's a bunch of propulsion modules with very similar names which makes things *more* confusing, and that now there's a bunch of missiles with very similar names, also making thigns *more* confusing. You know what was a great name? Paradise Cruise Missile. Now it's dull and boring because it's almost the same as the name of an already existing torpedo. Additionally, just what was wrong with Scourge? The word "Trauma" as an English word is harder to pronounce clearly for people who have accents. It may sound like "drama", and the first vowel varies wildly in pronunciation based on your native phonology, etc. This is a relatively minor issue given the general **** up that renaming modules has been, but still, I thought I'd point out this angle.

5. The inconvenient clustering of "ships", "items" and "undock" button. Like many, I accidentally almost undocked instead of swapping ships, and it was at a station I didn't want to undock from at that particular time. Please add some space between "ships"+"items" and the "undock" button. Should be easy, right?

6. The People and Places window goes away every time I start the client. I always have it open, other windows don't seem to do that, etc. Additionally, the "world map control panel" has the same icon as "map" when it's minimized, resulting in two "map"-like icons on the Neocom.

7. Please can I select between "prefer safer" and "prefer shorter" route options by right-clicking on the route colored boxes waypoint area on the screen? :)

Things I like:
1. In general, the idea of a more modular and customizable Neocom is great, and it's been implemented fairly well, though not without some pretty grating issues.

2. Compact member list display in chat windows is awesome.

3. Saving locations straight to corp bookmarks is awesome as well, though it's been a little buggy for me (mentioned in the "issues" thread)

4. THANK YOU for making the significantly more expensive Sisters Core/Expanded Probe Launcher better than the T2 variant, and not just when it comes to fitting reqs, and for altering module usage requirements. T2 must require more skills than T1 :)

5. Many other small things that aren't mentioned in the above gripe section are pretty awesome as well.

Changing the propulsion mod names does make sense when it's hard to tell from the name whether the module is even an AB or a MWD, but the naming convention chosen is awful! Why not have:

1MN Afterburner I
1MN Improved Afterburner I
1MN Advanced Afterburner I
1MN Afterburner II

-"Prototype", "Experimental" and "Limited" all sound wrong, especially the last one, since they do not immediately effectively state to the player "This is a better item".


Then there are the new missile names...
Why have two that sound good for their respective damage types, Inferno and Nova, then have MJONIR and TRAUMA???
You had Thunderbolt and Scourge for crying out loud!


The new Neocom is very nice, but does have some issues as already stated over and over: Blinking driving us nuts, customization of group names and icon positions etc...

Needs some work, but all told a good patch and a much better direction for Eve to be going in

I have the blink enebled on the necom but none of my stuff blinks....chat, wallet...nothing. Have made sure settings are OK and cleared cache...any ideas?
