I'm a diplomat. Sometimes i throw 425mm wide briefcases at enemy. Such is EVE.

OMG I know! That scrolling ticker tape thing for damage that's right in the middle of the screen and you can't turn it off anymore ... first (and only) mission I did post-patch I had to open my cargo bay and put the window over that thing to keep my head from exploding. It's annoying. That's all it does. It doesn't give me any new information of value (it's all on the dials already, after all). It's only purpose in the game is give people headaches and seizures.

And like everything else in this patch.... there is no off switch. Lovely.

Open your log window where you can change what notifications you want to appear and where you want it positioned on your screen. I moved mine to the top left out of the way but in a place i still glance at.

The new UI is a bad PVP game experience:
New targeting system makes is very difficult to see the damage done to the other ships.
I cannot track my guns/drones easily, takes more time to figure out what target I am shooting
and every second lost in a fight does not help at all.
I cannot see efficiently wich is my current slected target, and sometimes i aproach/orbit a wrong target
because the UI is missleading.
The red circles are overlapping with the enemy fleet and hiding the interceptors burning into our
direction, or its providing cover for other ships, and when in small gang the 3D view is very important
for positioning and navigation.

Please have an option to switch this off, and i would love to have the old square targets back as
an optional.

once you lock a ship, the target icon is unreadable for me, i cannot instantly say what ship it is because the graphics are too small, and i cannot quickly tell if my mods are activated on it, because the HP bars confuse the whole area.

it is very frustrating, and unecessary
