Hello Capsuleers!

As EVE's journey continues, from time to time we like to make updates to how we present the vast array of information you see in your client.

To that end, today I'd like to present a Dev Blog from CCP Optimal, who would like to show some potential changes to the UI, to gather feedback.

Check out his new Dev Blog here!

From the screenshot and gif, I love most of the changes, but abhor the blur. I would much prefer only transparency modification, with no blurring whatsoever. It's distracting, and takes away from the crispness that I've come to think of as a hallmark of EVE graphics.

The blur can be disabled with a graphics setting.

Looks sweet! Will there be changes to the "red-crosshairs" both in the space HUD and in the Overview to bring them in-line with the ISIS icons, to help differentiate between ship types/sizes?

Please fix wormhole combat sites: c1 20mil - c2 40 mil - c3 80 mil - c4 160 mil - c5 320 mil - c6 640 mil

looks cool, but one question. If we prefer the old UI, will we be able to choose to use the old one instead? I remind you of like every other time we have been forced in to the mandatory upgrade and what has resulted.

You can turn post-processing down which makes it closer to the current UI but otherwise, no.

Not had time to try the client but from that image I can say that active tabs are unreadable. Do not put the highlight in the middle of the word.

This is all well and good but please revisit module icons too, they look very dated. I know there was some whinging about turret icons when you did it before... but come on, sort it out!

Great Idea!

We have many areas we want to focus on as part of the broader EVE UI Modernization project. Adding the Ship Group Icons to the in-space HUD and Overview instead of the current brackets is definitely one of those things but we need to make sure it works well since the overview is a very essential piece of control for combat so it's not going out with the changes in December simply because we want to roll it out with confidence that it brings intended value.
