Captain Praxis' list of remaining issues is to me a blocker for a lot of day-basis usages of the inventory ... if we intent to behave exactly like before the patch.

On another point of view we (or at least me) still don't figure out how CCP expects from us to handle the new system, I'm still waiting for replacing workflow. Not 1:1 mapping like several player have shown here, because it may be not so relevant. It's a major rework of the UI after all. It's my only 'hope' regarding this critical matter: show us how we should use it, CCP, please. Like PI, if you release complex/unintuitive material, you have to deal with tutorials.

I think that if player don't see issues *yet* (maybe not, there's a lot of people able to adapt quickly anyway), they actually will later and post on the feedback thread when it will happen, so we'll just have to wait ... and cross fingers for enhancements / completions. ^^

One workaround to the single window spawn upon dock-up is to press ESC and head on over to the General Settings tab. Once there, check off the "Merge 'Items' and 'Ships' into Station Panel" option. That forces the Ships and Items (station-specific inventory) to load up in the Station Services window by default every time the ship docks.

It is not as slick as the current and soon to be old TQ Inventory windows, but at least a pilot can dock having their ship's cargo hold AND another window up w/o having to **** with this shift-click nonsense.

Why we are having to figure out workarounds for a newly designed system is mind-boggling, admittedly.

Me no have Photoshop.

Slap a picture of the Inventory 'Tree and Dropdowns' frame over the flames please someone.

But that's just it: I don't prefer the first. That's why I have the setup I have: four distinct (and very small) inventory locations — one of which isn't even shown in space (and appears and disappears automatically when appropriate), and one of which is usually showing a completely different set of information in space — that are tailor-made to show as much as possible with a minimal expenditure of screen real-estate. The new system robs me of the ability to have this kind of setup and instead encourages having a much more bloated window taking up more space.

The old system would let me have everything. The new one drastically reduces my ability to have that.

There are a number of parts to my dislike of this new system:
· The inability to handle multiple windows properly (even if the later sisi patches have made some strides in this area).
· The attempt to solve this “problem” with a monolithic solution that takes up more space with less customisation options.
· Design bloat — more screen space wasted on graphical elements that aren't particularly needed.
· The lowered efficiency that comes as a result of all of the above.

The new additions are very neat and certainly have their place — they're just not the universal solutions to all inventory-related use cases that CCP would like them to be.

Soundwave does not :D


According to the CSM there's nothing wrong with the Unified Invetory on Sisi (Townhall Meeting on Saturday). :D

Oh my… From the patch notes:

“Market deliveries now appear under the Corporate hangar section in the Index tree of the inventory.”

…soooo, has anyone checked the latest build if this means the bug remains where the corp hangar section only shows if you have an actual corp hangar in the station?

Why ? Because i like new things :) I was just looking at screenshots and reading, so not sure how it will work generally, but still, since there will be kept ability to open inventory locaiton separately, i don't see anything wrong with it. Sure i am little bit worried that it will be big window as the fitting screen is and it will get in way when some quick action is needed. But it's definitely good that they are making changes like this, UI still needs a lot of work.

Now - at the evening - day before winferno launch - all extra windows still refuse to reopen when you re-enter station. They seem to remember their size and position, but still need to manually open all again.

Folder menu still has wrong background style as for example using desert theme colours makes the it pretty unreadable. Background should be same colour than in other menus like that (for example in market).

Opening ships cargo bay by double clicking hangar background opens cargo in inventory window. Double clicking hangar background while holding shift opens it to new window. However this only happens if inventory window is already open (should not need to be) and double clicking hangar background again (while still holding shift) opens another copy of cargo window to yet another new window. It should "activate", "bring to front" or "close if already active and in front" the previous copy instead.

Didn't even bother to test the space, looting, system change functionality any more because - well - I'm just fed up...

If someone wants to give it more in depth final verdict - be my guest.

If this goes live tomorrow, I'm heading to play diablo 3. CCP may email me with some nice reactivation offer when (and if) this has been fixed. Rather do something fun than get myself angry with something what I don't want to use in it's current form.
