Can you make a filter option that is "Prerequisites met" or something like that? I'd like to be able to filter my corp's hangar for ships that I can fly.

1 - Issue: there was no need to update the old sytem
2 - Issue: the new system is slower in every way as it forces you to go through useless inventory, scroll down the tree stack, then click on the actualy inventory you wanted-> which used to be 'click on hangar/cargo or shiphangar". Shift + click doesn't work outside the station either, as anything with a corp hangar forces you to still open the tree stack and go through the list of corp tabs.
3 - Issue: you ignored your customers when they gave you feedback from the sisi testing....

FIX:
1 - Rollback the inventory! Bring back the old methodes, put a shiny color on it
2 - Implement the new inventory system into the Assets window! THIS would actualy make sense as all the good things in this inventory system would be used when you actually want to sort items, go through big piles of containers and cargo and have time to scroll through endless lists of ships, containers and corp hangars which hold even more containers, ships and crap.

3 - Save the game, not your face. Do the right thing for once, and suck it up - you derped we all saw it.

^That screenshot is pretty much every chat I've been in since the patch.

Stop saying the old system was the coolest thing ever, cause it wasn't, you only were used to it ... That's not the same thing

BTW ... I don't know if it was mentionned before, but Planetary Custom Office don't display themselves in the new inventory windows ... and that's sad

ISSUE: SiSi testers were ignored when they told you that Inferno was a no-go in its current state. Why should we trust you to solve the issues we name here?

SOLUTION: Stop opening new threads and start answering the questions we already presented.

ISSUE: CCP's current QA process for expansion deployments or both SiSi and TQ is apparently inexistent or insufficient

SOLUTION: Internal review of processes, procedures and policies. Suggestions for this are linked in sig, as usual.

One of the forum moderators needs to lock this thread as there are already many threads, official and unofficial, related to UI issues and feedback:

I have personally posted many times and here is one such post.

If you really need more feedback than you have already received, God help you.

To save you looking, as you are clearly busy ignoring all the other threads, take a look here;

Spells it out really simply for you

A lot of the issues over the new inventory system are really quite simple to fix. You just need to get your heads out of your ass and LISTEN.

1. Bring back the clickable buttons that just open a single hanger (Ships, Items, Corp Hanger). Make these windows remember size and position, and reinstate the tabs on the Corp hanger.

2. Reinstate the important right-click shortcuts.... Open fuel bay, drone bay, ships hanger, ore hold, ship maintenance bay, Corp hanger. Again, make these windows remember size and position, and reinstate the tabs on the Corp hanger. It REALLY REALLY is not a bad thing to have important stuff in the right-click menu when it improves functionality. Like others have said, remove some of the redundant ones instead, undock etc.

3. Double clicking in your main hanger should open your cargo ONLY. Not the whole inventory, that’s what the button on the Neocom is for. Make this window remember size and position. Same applies for the cargo icon while in space.

4. Open a wreck in a new window. Make this window remember size and position. Keep the loot all button.

5. Give an option to hide the ISK value from the inventory windows, it is not something that we would use all the time, it just takes up space. It can be un-hidden when needed.

6. Reduce the size of the volume bar at the top of the window. Again, it just takes up space, revert to the previous thinner bar.

I cannot believe that this stuff would be difficult to implement, and it would go a long way to reducing the rage most people are feeling at the moment.

The good stuff in this patch is being totally overshadowed by this. It’s a crying shame as the new missile effects are awesome

Explanation:
When in space I suspect its pretty common for people to have their cargo bays open to check for ammount of cap booster/ammo and for looting purposes. In addition when in space people have most likely one hand at their mouse and the other hand somewhere around the function keys, this will in any case be true for pvp situations where quick response is the difference between going home with a killmail or in your pod.

Issues that arise form this situation:

#1: Cargo window is now bigger than before(even with tree minimized), due to volume bar and isk amount displayed, thus taking up more screen space and blocking sight of nice things like nebulas, ships and explosions.

#2 When trying to loot in a potentialy hostile environment by selecting the cargo container via an overview tab and usage of the "open cargo" button in the overview controls the wreck/jetcan opens in the already open window of the ships cargohold, thus making it impossible to cherry pick loot quickly. The loot all option might be impractical because the wreck might contain bulky items of low value that are of no interest (like cap boosters) . Shift click is a problematic option to solve this since both hands are already occupied as described above.

Possible Fixes:

#1 Add more customization options and make volume bar/ isk amount display optional. Options could be added in th esc menu. preferable with different choices for different situations like: "Show etsimated ISK while in space yes/no", "Show estimated ISK while docked yes/no".

#2 Make it the default behavior, that any accessed jetcan/ wreck/ posmodule/ whateverihavemissed opens in a new separate window with treeview minimized when accessed via any means but the treeview itself.

And although you mentioned that lag will be adressed anyway....it realy should be top priority....any noticeable lag at all is unacceptable in a potentialy hostile environment.

Brother, CCP's QA personnel and presence have been perceived to be non-existent for several years now.

Automated and human-based regression testing appears to be non-existent as demonstrated with every single patch breaking an existing feature or bit of functionality that is glaringly obvious either on Sisi or when stuff is rolled up to Tranq for public consumption. CCP's publicy documented "known issues" are a joke and do not even begin to cover the broken crap thrown up on Tranq.

Furthermore, 'the hand of QA' appears to be missing in the overall design, coding and validation life cycle that *should* go hand-in-hand with a feature change or new game asset. Many times we see a dev blog outlining a new feature or a change to an existing mechanism. But when that gets rolled out to Tranq, either stuff is broken, *surprise* features are present or behavior is unexpected. If QA personnel had both presence and authority for a given project, this kind of crap would disappear quickly.

No QA Engineer worth his or her salary signs off on code assets that either do not reflect the project spec or are dysfunctional and are not heavily documented upon release.
