Just watched the latest EVE UI Video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME2815NN-Xc&feature=youtu.be&hd=1

1:20+ - Damage effects, and new HUD, lets just say this since its been said 100x this new hud isn't wanted... ITS NEEDED! .... The shield impact effects NEED to be done its just so much better
.... Screen in screen is NEEDED, its both tactical (as long as its locked looking from the direction of the ship from your ship's perspective, as well as a great looking effect when your zoomed out in that new tactical view!
.... Armor and hull damage.... PLEASE GOD PLEASE!

I mean honestly how much of the above is never gonna happen? I mean are we talking 100% vapor or is it something we could see in the next ~year?

On to the more likely things ....

1:58 - New fitting window with filterable module list for finding modules quickly, let me just say YES PLEASE!


2:11 - unified Inventory + a VERY VERY SEXY search bar! Yes Please * 100
- Estimated Prices! HELL YES
- Unified Ship and Items lists, YES PLEASE
- Corp and Personal together, YES YES
- Smart filter (folders) YES PLEASE

DID I SAY YES TO THE ABOVE, even that windows chrome looks sexy!

2:14 - New Local Overview, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THIS CANT BE ADDED SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Overview numbers, ok this could look nicer but is SOOO SEXY
- Sorted Local views = SEXY

2:36 new countdown icons, please say this is for modules, and timers, its very VERY nice looking though i'd recommend under the autopilot stuff so that the text doesn't jar lower everytime a timer pops up.... And if your gonna do this better redo that TiDi icon lol

Even the suttle changes to the mission windows (2:19) is just beautiful, i honestly don't see why this all isn't starting to roll out already apparently the icons are coming together, we already have CarbonUI, and its just so much nicer why not

Cleaner station services window, is also quite nice.

The stuff at the end you can tell is way out, but the windows all around the 2:00 mark i dont see why they can't be done for inferno, i'm praying the 2:00 mark are coming VERY soon, and the end minute are all "fantasy"

As a note for the love of god, why don't you just add that game console to our CQ's so we can play against people in there CQ's my god a multiplayer element for our CQ!!!! What a thought!

Going by what was said at the roundtable where they first showed it (and where they were a bit cautious about releasing it since they knew people would frame-by-frame through it and consider every last pixel shown an absolute promise when they're anything but) unified inventory is already in as part of Inferno; better hangar and cargo can management is part of that; price estimates are coming as part of the wardec/war report revamp, so folding that code into inventory management should be fairly easy…

For a moment, when I first read that, I thought they meant all the stuff in the video was no longer WIP and was actially done and ready to ship. Then I realised they were just brainstorming :(


Most of the ideas in the video looks really good though. Really hope they let us configure it and move it all around.

A lot of the UI concepts featured in that video look great. Even though they aren't works in progress, I wonder when the actual UI will receive a much needed update?

Overpowering local like that would be one of the biggest mistakes CCP could make, on par with the whole incarna fiasco and everything surrounding it.

Local needs to be nerfed, not buffed.

I don't care if these aren't finalised ideas, and not much of that video is actually a revelation to me, but a few bits are, and they look awesome! Tabbing windows was one of the first things I'd have put in a new design, but what I've seen here doesn't just do that, it does it with a style that says 'THIS IS A ******* AWESOME GAME!"

My main argument for a new UI is that it badly lets down a great game and is a major contributor to new players not sticking with EVE. All I saw in this video shows me CCP are REALLY thinking along the right lines. I'm continuing to be pleasantly surprised at CCPs new direction and drive, but even more so by the fact that they really are delivering!

If nothing else, this video says "We hear you, and sooner or later we're going to give you the UI this game deserves."

A futuristic looking, yet highly sophisticated UI is something that I believe would have a serious effect on increasing subscribers for the better.

I didn't see anything here about industry though, which is begging to be looked at, and I know CCP are doing that. Since I know CCP is listening now, I'd just like to draw your attention to me market wishlist again. :)

It's funny because that video was what I wanted to see most a fanfest and it was one of the few that didn't streamed (no formal presentation). It was worth the wait but now I'm thinking that the real wait is just getting started. Remember, the title of the video has the word "fantasy" and there is a reason CCP was hesitant to release the footage.

This video is full of win.

But the best part of it must br the "Recently Viewed Items" of the Eve Storefront at about 1:48. And here in particular the "Minmatar Slave Girl."

Want.

No lol. Local does indeed need to be nerfed, not buffed. Its value as an intel tool should be nil (well… except for people accidentally posting intel in it).

Some of that stuff is AMAZING
I hope some of it is WIP, especially the damage effects!
