My main problem with the new inventory is that they thougt it would be so awesome... so they decided to also remove the shortcut to drone bay and such when you right click your ship... you know... just like that ttime when they removed right click on ship while docked..

or plain stockholm fueled denial.

About the only thing that really sucks is the tower UI, that I've seen. Aside from some wonky things like what happens to Orcas, I am really loving a lot about the UI, doesn't mean I've given up. Filters especially are awesome, I hope they give finer detail to them in future.

I'll bet you hated the new trails too.

I fly a titan in a fleet of titans often times starting in a POS, the inventory is better than fine, its great, the ONLY change i would ask for is that they NAME the other ships in the list by pilot name.


Really if you can't figure this new inventory out in a comfortable way you should console yourself with the knowledge that a half blind one armed monkey probably wouldn't have a problem navigating it but for some reason you do.

Way to be dumber than a one armed half blind monkey.

This inventory makes sense only if you use a gamepad.
Who would want to adapt eve to a console? oh wait.

It still has issues and is only barely tolerable. Looting is still a pain unless you are in a Noctis and sit still, dragging everything in. The on-the fly looting sucks, especially when timing is critical. When you hit 'Inventory' on the Neocom in the station it gives you the cargo bay of the ship, I would like the option to default to the item hangar. If you have a separate cargo bay open and you undock you will have it in space and it does not respond to the cargo button (which opens the space version). When you change ships the active cargo bay remains the last ship. If you fly an Orca you need to make the tree large enough to see everything, and bay handling is a pain. etc etc etc

TLDR With the old system I knew THAT was my cargo bay, THAT was my item hangar, and THAT was my loot. Now I need to double check to see IF that is my cargo bay, IF that is my item hangar, and IF that is my loot window. It should be called Uncertainty Inventory.

I have figured out how to use the inventory, I have adapted and I can use it fine. Using it is almost second nature now.

Doesn't mean I like it, though What?

Hardly, just people who quickly adapted and utilized what they were given with a minimum of muss and fuss. Sure, I thought it was clunky for the first ten minutes, then I figured it out and resumed playing my game. I'm kind of sad that they changed a classic feature that probably didn't need to be changed, but it's not game-breaking by any stretch of the imagination. It is what it is, nothing more, nothing less.

Opening my inventory in the presence of another nearby Rorqual who hadn't set permission for viewing his corp hangar = endless lols while watching a little circle spin and spin. Warping away doesn't help, every time you try to see your own inventory afterwards, spin spin spin little circle. Only thing that "fixed" it - close client, restart client, log in again.

Yeah, love the new unified inventory.

That's fine. If you want to quickly adapt to having a marginally working utility fine. Others appear not to. I support them because I don't like having to open a can in space in a separate by first opening it to a previously open UI by default because there's just no other way to do it, expanding the UI which I've made smaller for another purpose in order to scroll down to find it just so I can open it up in it's own window to then select what I had open previous and resizing it back for the use it was sized to begin with. That's not adaptation my friend. That's coping.

The new UI is very easy to understand and one can indeed adapt to it. Does not mean it's a slow, real estate wasting piece of turd.

Hmm, I guess the tens of thousands of EVE subscribers (read: the majority) who have managed to figure out how to use the new inventory and thus aren't spewing forth massive amounts of tears have it all wrong, and the few dozen people (read: the minority) who are still hurfblurfing their way through another one of these wholly original threads must have it all right.

Sheen hasn't used the word "winning" in a sentence since months before the Unified Inventory was released. If you're going to use outdated memes to support your outdated whines, at least try to keep them somewhat up-to-date and/or relevant.

Also, adapt or die? Or, I guess in your case, adapt or cry?

I agree with the fella who said its not adapting, so much as COPING with the new UI. It's without a doubt worse than the old system, which had lots of windows but was more simple. It is rather annoying that clicking on inventory button brings up the active ships cargo bay. Why don't they just fix this?? The way it worked before was fine.

Works fine for me, I like it. I have also never experienced it opening or closing on undock or jumping

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I support the OP 100%. It's such a pain to achieve simple things now. Maintaining POS hangars has become a tedious task. Please give us an option to always open a new window without hold shift. And of course keep the sidebar expanded at all times.

Or a better solution: Restore the old window mechanics!

Odyssey: Repacking in POS hangars for modules +1,  but please for other stuff too, especially containers. Make containers openable in POS hangars.

Holy **** that right there is exactly right. Couldnt have said it better. And God help if you try to change from working at a pos to going to loot and run some anoms or missions. As everytime you change what your doing you have to change and resize everything.

I hate as I have windows for everything I do, its a workspace like a desk at work. Its useful, not pretty. And this piece of **** sucks and forever will. And Ill hate it forever as long as it exists in this game.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

The new inventory does suck. The only redeeming feature from it is CCP now has an icelandic version of whack-a-mole.
