There are more awesome UI changes coming with EVE Online: Retribution including new targeting brackets, re-worked damage notifications and all kinds of eye-pleasing goodness.

CCP Sisyphus is here on behalf of Team Pony Express to tell you all about them in his new Dev Blog.*

Awesome changes, they seem pretty nice on the test server. Still unsure on the giant red circles, however. They look a bit misplaced.

Alcohol is frowned upon at work, but I'll flip my monitor upside down.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Why do you only want to show which rat or other target gives the player the most DPS, but not show the damage type weighting? It'd be really nice if you could finally add some transparency to that corner of the game mechanics.

Big thank you to all the fine scallywags that hang out on Duality and Buckingham, the public test servers we've testing our new features on. Especially those who show up for the mass tests! The detailed and constructive feedback we've received has really helped get these features to where they are today and will help get them to the quality they'll be on December 4th! <3

Big smile (but please keep the feedback coming if you've never see these changes before)

I saw some of this in action on Buckingham last night; have to say that I was most impressed.

Thank you for your great work!

But on the changes: Tested them, was amazed by them, and after getting used to them (in about 5 minutes) loved them.

Good work!

Stay... on.. Again.

Great changes, and I quite liked them from the test last night as well. Now that "big red bubble" thing makes sense... he was shooting much at me lol

Great job guys! :) Now I guess it's time for the Tactical Overlay revamp? :p

Something like showing your guns tracking in colors (red, yellow green for 0%, 50% and 100% chance of hit?). And direction & speed vectors of our targets? Something like arrows colored in red yellow and blue for speeds lower, equal and faster than yours? I guess you guys know better, I'm just trowing some examples! :)

What does this mean? A little picture of the damage type in the tooltip or something?
