Ok about the inventory system - here goes:

- After opening a container inside main inventory system, please add "back"-button to return to previous window. I found myself clicking "hide browse menu"-button by accident many times thinking that it was the "back"-button.
- Neocom button should open second (new) inventory window while holding shift.
- Double clicking neocom button or keyboard shortcut (alt+c) should bring up all minimized inventory windows.
- Inventory window should have simple button to open another inventory window with 1 click.
- "open ships cargo"-right click selection should open it to new window while holding shift.
- double clicking container should open it to new window while holding shift.
- Double clicking ship in main ships window should open it's cargo.
- Double clicking ship in main ships window should open it's cargo to new window while holding shift.
- Double clicking hangar background should open ships cargo to new window, not to main inventory window.
- While in space and using inventory in compact mode (left menu hidden), there should be some hotspot where one can move single items from (loot) container to ships cargo. You don't want to "loot all"-every time and un-hiding browse menu just for this purpose is kind of an effort. You don't have to be able to move stuff back and forth, as to do this, you can always open another window and stack those. This is mainly a thing related to taking individual items from containers and moving them to your own cargo.
- It would be nice if inventory system had size, position and configuration (left menu hidden or not) saved for station and for space separately. In station I want to use rather big main window + possibly additional windows but in space I want to see only 1 compact window with left menu definitely always hidden. It is quite an effort to always resize and reposition the window when undocking/docking.
- Would be kewl if you could shrink the bottom bar with xxx number of items + isk value to 1 row instead of 2. Wasted space there.

and finally -> could you please make possible to drag and drop folders from "index menu" to neocom. Those buttons then should folders in main inventory window unless again if shift is being held down, they should open in new window. Opening mostly used windows directly from neocom would really convenient specially for corp windows.

Any way that is all what I could "find" after quick test run. The basic concept seems ok and most critical things have been covered well. Tweaking the stuff mentioned above should provide some further usability improvements to daily functions.

Thank you.

'Normal' LP Stores seem the same as before:

Brutor Tribe LP Store as of now:
Fleet Firetail 80k lp, 1 rifter, 1 UUA nexus Chip
Fleet Scythe: 90k lp, 1 Scythe, 1 UUB Nexus Chip
Fleet Stabber: 240k lp, 1 Stabber, 1x UUB Nexus chip
Fleet Pest: 600k lp, 1 tempest, 1 UUC Nexus Chip.

Interesting.

The statements

"a good number of people suggested no docking."

and saying

"a good number of people suggested no docking but the majority rejected it."

may technically both be true on the same facts. But your only saying the first is pretty misleading.

And by the way it wasn't just in the end that this idea was rejected. It was rejected in the beginning,(when fw first came out) in the middle, and in the end by the players. This idea came up allot because it doesn't take much creativity to say "hey lets apply null sec mechanics in faction war"

I was going to let this go, but you continue to keep posting that this was some sort of player driven change.

I would ask that you at least be accurate and report that this is a change that the majority of the players have routinely rejected.

Again you leave out the fact that faction war pilots have rejected this idea historically.


With this change we will have long timers for systems to flip so blobs can be assembled to defend (read: small fast gangs can accomplish nothing) and no docking in the areas that aren't owned by militia.

Serious question: How do you think this will bring about battles different than null sec sov warfare where the bigger blob always wins? Because I don't see it.

If you break this post done to one line it reads.

"oh noes my militia is losing its not fair."

I guess the answer is stop posting on this thread and go play the game harder and try to recruit some more people so you stop losing.

I don't like the unified inventory window being so clunky (even reducing the side bar leaves the search bar and summary panel), it is too much screen real estate because we need the cargo open while we fly spaceships to access our drug boosters for example. Now if you can move pvp things like drug boosters to buttons so that I don't ever have to open my cargo while in space... that might work.

Does anyone know what problem unified inventory is solving in general? Right now it feels like making something that was simple complicated with lots of nesting and clicking.

Really? You talk about iterating on faction war as if it will happen every other month. But CCP doesn't even fix bugs in the mechanics.

We have had 2 or 3 patches since a bug in the plexing mechanic has been clearly identified and ccp has not fixed it.

Jade welcome to faction war. This aint sov null sec where ccp is constantly wringing their hands to make sure everything works as intended.

Please tell me what ccp has done for faction war lately that makes you think they will give it any priority at all. Everything points to them puking this out and letting it sit there for years.

We do not even get the courtesy of a clear explanation/devblog telling us what is on sisi. No one can say.

"Go try it" is the answer.

Ok I did I see a militia tab that says I am at war with minmatar and nothing else. I can't use any services in a 24th imperial crusade station even though I fight for amarr. I do a plex and get a 17k lp for a medium but beyond that I have no idea what I accomplished. I look at the map and its the same blurry balls that give very fuzzy information.

How long am I supposed to stay on sisi trying to figure out what they are doing? The only thing that is clear is they are following through with their null sec lite plans. No docking and long timers.


BTW
not all the drones show up on dscan.
The sov tab on the map says (faction war) but it is listing alliances that are not in faction war.
