I think it's all fantastic.
I think the (smart) filters will help me great with my industry jobs filtering BP's. I particularly like being able to see inside the POS fuel hangar from within a station. So, for station activities, I like it a lot.

However, I also agree with one of the previous comments, what if you simple want to drag something from a wreck to your salvager while in space. Does this use the same inventory UI? Filling a large part of the screen?

Say I opened a wreck, and then I salvaged it. That used to close the cargo window. Will the same happen with the wreck in the tee - is it going to be removed automatically? To rephrase the question: will non-existent wrecks still stay in the tree, and need to be removed manually?

This looks fantastic. I can't wait to see it in action.

I'm wondering about how exactly the valuation will work - on a per region basis, galaxy basis or set values I wonder.

Filter suggestion? Reprocesses into > [mineral] > [Min Amount](Set 0 for any)

Digging through items to where I can scrap up a bit of megacyte can be a pain at times making this a valuable tool indeed.

Damn that is some awesome stuff alright :)

One question, how hard would it be to combine remote assets into this feature?

If I had a first born I would be sending it to CCP by Fedex right about now, since I don't have one I will send them much loving.

<3 blogs!

Also I would like to know, will this then replace the in-station merged windows?

I am currently a heavy user of having the ship/item window merged into the station control rather than floating windows - I for one would like to keep them merged.

Containers in space will now go on this big window too, or will the small windows be kept as well (not sure if I fail at reading or not). I kinda like the can/wreck windows since they can be made very small.

Wow, thats a pretty neat new inventory.
Makes the life for people with small monitors a lot easier.

Mhm... on the second thought... it makes the inventory-life for everyone a lot easier.

If you find the tree taking up too much screen space, just click the double arrows button to minimize it

This is not a good practice: As a corp member I may want to move items to hangars I don't have (view) access to. This happens a lot of times.

Kinda neat. I like it.

But out of curiosity: Did you not say a while ago you want to make the UI look less like an operating system?
Now, after the new neocom sidebar, which feels alot like the bottom bar of Windows 7, you introduce a
tree structure, which is basically the Windows explorer.

Compare this

to this

Don't get me wrong, I like the change.
I just don't get it...

My one source of confusion is the absence of drag and drop functionality in the "None" text highlighted in this image. Fantastic changes, otherwise!

First off let me say this. Amazing!

I am worried about 1 thing though. With wrecks in space I generally try to keep a little small block that displays only about a 3x3grid worth of loot and let them all stack in the same location. I then put my cargohold window right next to or on top of it, keeping to the same small scale window sizing. This allows me to open containers, drag and drop items to my heart's content and still see what is happening around me. I know the overview is mostly used but I am sure there could be a few instances where it could get in the way. Especially since your attention will be automatically dragged to the big window in the center of your screen instead of watching the all important overview.

Other than that worry, I think it is going to be fantastic.

Good point. We'll be looking into this issue.
