I have to agree with the OP.

This inventory management is utter crap.
I can appreciate the idea and the purpose that it was meant for, but I have a hard time liking it. If I was in an office and looking to organize something with access to everything with as few windows as open as possible, then golden. The problem is, I am not. I am playing a game where I want user friendly game play.

Don't get me wrong, I understand when something new is introduced to the game that it does take some time to get used to it. Especially after you are used to it being a certain way for some years. To that I respond that in game play, it should be simple, efficient, and NOT a PITA.

There is no reason that the cargo hold of a ship should be tied in to the assets of everything you have in stations around the universe, I am not even going to touch on the fact that every time you jump from one system to another that the assets management window comes back up....

Thanks for working on stuff that matters to a spaceship game. New mods are a great start, new ships help, I just wish we could put the resources that are being spent on useless stuff like this and work on more ships. T2 version of the teir 2 BC perhaps? more T3's?

That is for another thread,
Thanks for starting this OP.

OK so i have a few big problems with the new user interface. To sum it up I'd say it's very irritating, time wasting, user unfriendly, repetetive & a large step back from what we had before.

Here are my reasons why:

When you dock, you want your ships and items windows to be wherever you left them, not docked in the station services panel. You want the ships/items windows to be immediately visible when you dock.

With the old system:

  • Everything is right infront of you when you dock. Nothing needs done.


With the new system :

  • you have no ships/items windows apart from in the station services panel
  • you have to open your cargo
  • hit the >> icon to expand the ships/items heierarchy list
  • expand the window so you can actually see what you want to click on
  • shift+click on ships & items to open these windows
  • hit the << button to remove the ships/items hierarchy list
  • resize your cargo window to it's normal useful state.



Prior to the changes to the UI all of these steps were done for you, because you'd done it once before, so when you docked everything was right there to use. bang, simple, done. This new interface resets iteself every time you undock, leaving you repeating the whole process.

The UI changes need to be rolled back since it's simply irritating the user rather than becoming an interface to the user.

Please +1 this & maybe we can have some functionality back.

Thank you.


Everything you said here is absolutely correct. This new, "easy" inventory system is NOT EASY. It had made the inventory feature WORSE. It is inconvenient and needlessly complicated. Before, it was convenient and you could keep your windows separate. I used to have my station inventory window top left, my ship cargo bottom left, and my market window off to the right. That arrangement was extremely efficient. Now, as the original poster also says, you have to scroll through a ******* window to get what you want, and even when you separate the window, the windows go back to being all stacked into one when you redock.

Is anyone up for lagging Jita with a protest? This inventory system is quite possibly one of the absolute worst things I've ever seen CCP do. It's even worse than the original forced feature of CQ CCP made us experience, because this station inventory thing really fucks things up for people who actually want to switch ships and unload items from hangar to cargobay in an instant.

I'm at the point where I think only a Jita protest will make CCP **** off with these ridiculously ******** "features."

And they pull this **** at a time when Diablo 3 is siphoning off players. Real ******* smart, huh.

Prefer the old setup with my windows spread out and placed where i like them, able to drag and drop at will whilst being able to see what is in each.

maybe you should throw away your 15", buy a 24" or something and so get rid of issues handling multiple windows.
