EVE Information Portal

i loved all the changes, new modules and other stuf in this new patch.

however i can't really say the same about the new inventory system.

it looks kinda cool, but it's really not helping when i want to have a quick glance at many things at a time.

when mass looting or salvaging its kinda looks easier to do so with this new system. however, when im in hangar, i'll have to split windows in order to see everything, which actually takes a lot of space on the screen.

this new ui has its benefits, but it has its flaws too. i think it'd be great if we had an option to switch back to the old layout.

appearantly, at least some optimization is needed here.

"Please give me my old inventory back" +1

It's slow and hard to manage a capital battle with carriers trying to refit with eachothers in fly, and too complicate when you have can's with modules in the cargo.

I don't like to talk about corp hangars and fuel bay headache.

Please give me my old inventory back.

The new inventory system has some good ideas, but implementation details make it perform worse in actual use than the old one. I don't know what kind of use cases you used as basis for the UI design, but they were different from mine.

Case 1: Fitting a (bunch of) ship(s):
How it used to work:
The hangar floor has the usual ~100 items stacks of trade goods, because market does not know how to take from cans or put there. Then I move items stacks I need for fitting from the reserve (the pile that is _not_ sold, but is there for personal use) to the hangar floor, assemble ship, rename it, press "fit", take next ship etc. In the end I move the rest of the piles back to the reserve. Because the piles were the bottom-most in the items hangar, I can then just move whatever is left of them back to reserve.

The main thing here is that the piles used for fitting *may not* under any circumstances get mixed to the "waiting to be sold" stacks.

Now, the setification broke the "they stay at bottom part" partially; renaming a ship causes auto-sort, which loses the reserve piles to the sea of trade goods. OK, you can overcome this by moving the reserve piles back to their can between every two ships. Just be careful to not rename anything.

Now, on Inferno this is no worse; you open the reserve to separate window, and it works like this. However, _if_ you try to keep them in single window, every time you move between the two, the reserve items are mixed to the trade goods. This means you can't use the new tab system at all, or it kicks you to the balls. So for this use case the new inventory system just takes more screen space, but does not help at all. Also, every time you switch, even the scrollbar resets - meaning you have even harder time to keep track where you were after the previous step. On every tab switch _everything_ regarding the state of "where was I" is lost.

Case 2: Sorting incoming shipment (or pile of loot)
How it used to work:
I get a shipment from and it lands as the bottom-most items on the hangar. I press "Stack all" and the items that *already existed* in the hangar pile to the top of the hangar; ie. only items left to the bottom of the window are the ones that are new. With this I could move just the new items to separate can, where a script then later goes through them with the API Assets dump.

Same worked for loot - you kept the "to be reprocessed" stuff in hangar floor, used "Stack All" to take them out of the new batch and then moved the remaining items to "to be sold" can.

Now, after setification the piling went random; you have to manually sort the incoming goods/loot. I went through the items and then dragged the items that were already checked (and left to hangar) to the topmost empty spot in the window, so that there was clear separation between "these I checked already" and "these need checking". Now with Inferno you can even _drag_ them to different XY position, meaning you need to keep your finger against the screen or similar...

You can think of this as a metaphor out of the current system: you have a web page that has a list of 500 links, and you need to go through them all. Now, your browser after the patches does not change link color when you visit it and when you press back, it always takes you to the top of the page. So if you talk to someone, go to refill your glass etc. you need to write down where you were, or you need to recheck some parts.

It's not impossible, but annoying it is.

the new inventory dont help me just take 5 minutes more of my time to click click click each time ajust smal windows when i can t see ajust to the big windows .. i am tired now plz give us back the old inventory

I liked the old inventory system it worked will and it was very simple this new one sucks.

The new invenory sucks hairy monkeyballs.
That is all.

Quit fixing what isn't broken.

Just stop.

Seriously.

The old inventory system worked very well.

There was no reason to screw with it.

this pretty much covers it.
