EVE General Discussion

Figured i'd add to the noise moaning about the changes to the UI as im struggling with it

I cant see for the life of me why reducing the number of windows down to one is seen as an advancement for eve, if flies in the face of every operating system out there and most software packages, it looks like someone has read an academic paper on usability and implmented it without ever playing the game.

Anyways day to day i do missions and in order to do them i have to alter my ship fitting for each mission and change the resistance mods and the ammo, this new system just makes the operation painful and i find myself doing twice the number of clicks to achieve the same task.

Additionally when your hangar is full of ships i dont have a clue which one im looking into the cargobay of, could i have a piccy of the ship type or something somewhere if you refuse to let me have my ships window?

Yes i know you can shift click them and open the windows but having to shift click and open several windows is just a retrograde step given the idea of only one inventory system

additionally in each station the contents of the treeview changes given what containers etc you have in there, this means the treeview in the UI is not generic so you have to stare at the damn thing each station to figure out what your doing thus increasing the time to perform any task

in short, im trying to like the new UI but in its current form i hate it and pray you either kill it off or make some usability changes to make it usable

anyways i aint logging in until you fix local. Jumping into systems seeing 45 guys in local and thinking ohh goody pewpew time then realising every damn one of them is offline sucks

Oh hey! Another inventory thread.
