EVE General Discussion

I'd even go as far to say that i love it.

Unified Inventory FOREVER.

Go CCP!

Unified Inventory doesn't fit in EVE.
A Customisable inventory will do the trick. It's a Sandbox. And everyone plays differently and uniquely. the UI should reflect that.
I can adapt to change, when it's for good. What I cannot do is adapt to a bad change and pretend it's alright. That is denial.

I'll disagree if only to say we can adapt to the UI and we all have since we have to use it day in day out. Doesn't mean we like it. It means we're coping with it like someone copes with herpes. It's not something you want but at the end of the day you deal with it.

CCP needs to either nix it and bring back the old system or tell us some purpose that they're working towards with the UI that might make these complaints we have moot points. As it appears now they've made a bad design change and are staying the course, circling the wagons because they're proud of their work no matter how crappy it is and are being bull headed about it.

Don't really mine but, do your windows switch and open on dock/undock?


Won't argue that there aren't advantages with macro level inventory management. But try opening a can in space in a separate window without first opening it using the icon on the overview, then shift clicking it to open a separate window. At that point you've already lost your existing view so any inventory you've focus on the previous view is lost and you'll need to find it again.

Can't speak for this since I don't fly carriers

Completely dependent on how you salvage. If you're using a frigate the UI has rendered fast salvage/looting useless due to slow updates, windows that don't try to open until after you're out of range.

The problem is the windows will reset depending on what you're doing. Opening another inventory might have it open to the in space cargo window or the main inventory window or next time you open your in space cargo it may open in your main inventory window.


That's not the experience I've had with them. On the contrary my hangar window expands to a larger window taking up the majority of my screen space no matter how many times I resize it. When opening ship maint array it will often open in my ships cargo which I've resized so small as to be useless for looking for ships and am required to resize/reposition it....every time I dock/undock.

In a way yes, I will agree here. But the fact that when you're dragging items from hangar to can or visa versa with any lingering hover over causes the inventory main pane to switch to that inventory makes it extremely inconvenient when you're keyed into specific items that you've spent time finding in the hangar that you want to drag to different cans and visa versa.

Forgive the poor quoting since the forum will only allow me to quote 5 times.

You didn't needed to to open any windows in the old system. Just drag and drop onto the ship in the hangar.

Same here: you didn't need to open separate windows to do that in the old UI. If you're Talking about finding stuff in containers, then you still need clicking and scrolling, rather than double-clicking. The same holds true for multiple locations and items — you still have to click through all the locations you intend to pull stuff from, just like in the olden days (and the asset and corp windows are still separate, so you still need those two to search through all assets).

Ok… how was the old UI unintuitive in this regard? I don't quite see the difference.

Sounds like your settings were broken. The ship cargo hold window was pretty easy to pin down in a single location — just as easy as (if not more than) it is now — and the same goes for the cargo cans you opened. My cans always opened right next to the ship cargo hold, and my cargo hold was always in the exact same position. The new UI exhibited the exact same behaviour you're describing when it first came out, and that was a bug, just like what you described.

As for familiarity, sure… if you're used to a file manager from the 1980s.

Are you implying that using the new Uni Inv can lead to a case of herpes? Ewwwwh - cooties! Dang, I'm using condoms from now on just to be on the safe side ...

Actually, this is the most hilarious analogy I have heard related to the Unified Inventory. +1

you guys saying how you can just "open" wrecks under the new ui how? i have no choice but to hold shift down for at least a second before i click or the new ui closes my cargohold and in its place presents the loot window.

so what settings or hax are you using to get rid of that issue? or are you just saying that you're fine with the slower clunkier looting system that i have just described?

The deal for me is in know how it works now, the new ui, i know how to make it resemble the ui config i like for fast efficient ore moving on mining ops. It however takes 10 times longer to set it up after each undock (which happens about every hour 30 mins when i solo mine or every 35min when i fleet up). I also have a vague idea on looting and when i shift click a wreck the window does appear in the same spot every time

So while i know how to brute force it into rough submission each time, doesnt mean im fine with it, and that i love the new system.
