It certainly is an interesting exercise and parts of it I like. Although in a big fights (lets call them blobs) I shudder to think what would happen so you'd have to be able to switch to a more "overview" like system in those.

I do like how it could work in terms of small gang warfare, I think the icons that you see on the ships that fire you could become transparent and fade to invisible/very transparent.

I do prefer the own readouts of the ships to remain where they are although some sort of reshuffle can be done I suppose. similar "ui's" have been seen on eve trailers (like dominion) so I think idea's like that are not wasted on CCP or these forums.

edits: I still don't get why the executioner is shooting sharks at the ferox though.

Probably something like this

My excuse is that it was a homage to Salvador Dali!

I don't think it's a good idea, it would get very crowded very quickly because you either have to show ALL like that or you will still need the normal targeting icon, in which case the info is doubled and just clutters it all up. It DOES look funky but it's not practical.

would we have topay more to play in black and white or would this be a option forced on us by ccp in order to reduce lag?


DID i do it right?

I'm sure we can unanimously agree that the most important feature for a new UI is a command line interface

a radar. gives your a idea what is happening around you. Eve had it in past. Every other space sim has it too.

+1 to original concept. 3d, in-space UI is a must have for a state of the art space sim

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

The UI could really use an optical update and I am not talking about more settings or some small changes to windows and fonts, but a lot of modernization. A lot of games have 3D effects in their interfaces nowadays.

CCP could look at their own game trailers, The Butterfly Effect for example and integrate some of it into the actual game client.

this UI is hard to understand, moreover there's tons of others things to add (chat, overview...), which mean there will have an issue about size.
and i don't even talk about big fleets ; your idea may be good for small fleet / solo, but that's all. unusable on big browls
