EVE Information Portal

The bugs and lag are improved. I'm glad to hear a DEV say a blog about the next tweak wave will come out today, cuz they have work remaining.

The problem I can't overcome is the whole design. When I set up my work space, I place and size windows to minimize mouse movements simply for the speed of operations that results from moving 2mm instead of 50mm. This is the case for all in-station tasks. It is CRITICAL for tasks in lo sec space.

A POCO is fairly good example:
- access CO --> select launch pad --> execute transfer --> repeat for all relevant materials
- warp to 10km --> approach - aim camera directly backward
- at 2.5K, 2X-click to initiate a 180 --> inertia carries you in <2km --> proximity decloak ensues
- grab the PI matz and/or xfer between cargo hold and CO
- monitor distance and cloak when >2km

You have only a few seconds to grab your stuff and recloak. I found a wreck 10km out from one of my neighborhood POCOs today, so apparently somebody didn't rehearse and/or couldn't adapt to the new UI...

Back to screen geometry.
- bigger windows block my view of space making me more vulnerable and less confident in the maneuver.
- bigger windows mean I cannot place them close enough to do a lightning fast cargo xfer
- more time decloaked = more chance of gankage
- enough lag remains that my ops are affected noticeably during cargo xfers. Fractions of seconds DO matter.

Bottom line for me:
- the old system afforded great efficiency via excellent user defined screen geometry
- the new system makes me feel I must be OCD/anal retentive about screen geometry
- the new system takes more effort to not only set up, but to use, AND I still cannot find that sweet spot I had last week.
- the new system has turned confidence in my lo sec skills and maneuvers into increased paranoia, as in, this **** is gonna get me killed. So, I successfully mastered the learning curve, and found that it does not work as well as before.

From lurking in local chat and monitoring all the customary trash talk, it would seem that the PvP guys are doing fine with the new system, although, I'd sure like to hear from some hardcore, trash talking PvP guys in this thread.

I have already listed many quirky bugs, and others have too. I'm sure all that stuff will get ironed out. But is the new UI a better, more efficient design that enhances game play? No.
- trim down bloated window size - removing the market numbers would be a great first step.
- provide an on/off switch for the market stuff so it eats up CPU and screen space ONLY when you want it too.
- get rid of the tree as an integral part of every window. The tree must increase memory consumption, meaning it will perform more slowly than NOT loading in the whole tree.

CCP: Don't work harder - work smarter. You are kicking your own buttocks now because you weren't smart enough to listen to feedback when this code was still on SiSi.

Say Soundwave : can you answer a question for me?

SiSi rules repeatedly state "do not overlaod the server" in various forms. I want to test on SiSi using the exact tasks I perform on TQ.

Would trading/xferring 10Km3 of assorted mission loot constitute "overloading the server" ? If not, I can better test real live situations on SiSI.

Thanks.

And still we are the alpha tester, but the developing phase just going on the wrong way, on a way which increasing the players hate.

I docked at station,Ii made separate windows for my ship cargo and my hangar. Undocked, docked back - contents of them are changed. This is one thing I would like to be addressed -for the starters. It nicely outlines the fundamental underlying problem anyway.

Until then... what use of those devblogs...

My open cargohold of active ship button is still broken.

used to open cargohold of the ship then close it - could we get it back to working like that?

currently it opens unified inventory on first button. then it opens a window with the cargohold, then it opens more windows of the cargohold......

had this function bound to my keyboard since 2006, please restore to previous functionality

+1 for lag reduction when working @ POS

-3 for the rest of it, both @ POS and just puttering around in high sec

Glad for those having success w/ new system. Am not one of them, and am not alone. System require additional steps in a manner disruptive to game-play.

Recommended fix: Rollback to Sisi, where it belongs.

Soundwave,

Not sure if this is a Mac thing only but your salvaging "fix" now freezes the UI every time I try to open up a wreck.

Another thing that changed is that with the cargo bay open while salvaging/ looting if you 'select all' then 'stack all' the not really needed or wished for average sale price of the whole cargo bay goes down, then up after another 'stack all'.

Also why did my station container reset to put things thrown in as locked while that was not the case before the patch?
So far loading is a bit more faster but can get a lot more faster to get even close to the way it was.


Waiting on the rest of the fixes to bring the 'inventory of horror' back in line with the way things where.

This. If you can do this, then the new inventory with the new filter improvements are great. But FFS, please let me have my ship hangar and items windows open in the same spot all the time in station.

You Allready can. Note the >> button in new Windows

Hahaha i found somthing awesome for you CCP you should start form here.

Upgarde complete 2 in Kongregate.

The first basic upgare in this flash game is caled user interface :D love it is about spaceships ;) full of irony...
