Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Common issue: Inventories are a huge mess

Fix: search bar, folders and the option to default loot, ore and salvage into a folder of your own choice.

ISSUE: Trying to sort information on the overview easily for more then one function

EXAMPLE: Running missions in a Kronos and needed to target both rats and wrecks

FIX: Overview tabs are able to be separated into multiple overviews

Issue:
- I run Missions with some friends from time to time (joining each others corps is no option). The loot should be stored seperately from my private loot.
- I bought stuff from the market and and to keep track of the information what price I did pay back then.

Fix: Let me label the stuff like "Missionloot with players X,Y and Z" or "bought at 5.55ISK" and/or store them in a logical compartement of my hangar. Like files in a folder.

Saved scans in the directional scanner, even if its just 2 tabs with different settings, 2 will be enough, 1 for short and one for long.

Issue : Everything lying on the hanger floor

Fix: Recursion : Allow S&I Jobs to look in containers to find the required items.
Or if you do not want to do this how about looking in named containers - Blueprint Copies [ownername], Blueprint Originals [ownername] etc.
Allow searchs to search everything in range for the object needed or being looked for, both by the user and the game.



Issue: I open a container one way, then moving to space or another station changes it to some DEVs idea of a joke!
Fix: User choice over DEVs everytime! sometimes it's remembered other s it's not!



NB:
You know that there is a Inventory management problem when it is faster for you use an out of game tool to query the API, & locate items using that in preference (both easy of use and speed) to the in game UI !!!

Hi, one of the things that keeps bugging me with the UI is resizing. Often when out in space, I like to open up my cargo and fill it with varoius stuff. I like to keep my inventory box small when in space, but you have placed a filters box rigth where the most important thing is, the numbers. Personally I never use filters and would very much like it to be an option to not have it show at all. Then i could "minimize" my little cargobox to show me the number for how much i got in my cargo and how much i can carry, without having to have a much bigger box than I need to.

About UI and size of boxes. You got several boxes that you can't get below a certain size. Like the industry tab etc. I would very much like to see more zoom and size stuff in the UI in general.

ISSUE: I can't find where my minerals from buy orders end up without clicking through multiple windows.

FIX: Add 'search for in assets' to the right-click menu on items, like 'view market details'.

ISSUE:I have to open multiple windows to organize, use, move, and generally interact with items on a ship.

EXAMPLE: I open my ship inventory, but that is the only inventory available to me. I must then press the "Inventory" button on the Neocom bar.

FIX: When opening the ship cargo, open the same menu you would usually when clicking the "Inventory" button from the Neocom bar -- thus unifying the inventory experience.

P.S.- The UI changes to the inventory have been wonderful, especially with the addition of manipulation items from cargo containers, to the item hanger. The issue I feel is that the inventory windows are not uniform. I feel that a global inventory window that opens every time (no matter if you double click on your ship in station). This would ease confusion, especially for new players to EVE.

+1 for the ability to have editable "tabs" or "folders". I hate that I have to lump all my mission loot/salvage/ammo in with everything else.

The ability to add folders under the item hangar would be awesome.

I don't know a good solution to this, but I'll tell you what annoys the shìtAmarrian scum out of me.

In station, I like to be able to click on the inventory side list to get to other groups quickly, either just swapping between the ships and items hangars or popping into boxes or ship inventories, or my active ship's bays. But I hate it when it expands a group I don't want expanded, or makes that huge list that I have to scroll through to find anything. I don't mind double-clicking on ships or boxes to get into them--boxes are especially easy since they sort to the top of the items. I want it to stop assuming I want the field expanded when I don't, and I want the old feature back in which dragging an item over a unit on the side bar and waiting briefly would cause it to switch to that bay so you could drop it anywhere (or at the bottom) rather than inevitably losing it amongst the garbage as it automatically sorts between the time you drop it and the time you swap to that bay you put it into.

In space, I usually want my cargo bay to have small edges. I won't be checking my ore bay on most ships (because they don't have one), and so I don't need to have the side thing open. I want the cargo window as small as possible while still having room to access cargo. But in some ships, I want that little side bar. I want to check my barge's ore bay and then see what worthless loot I picked up from the belt rats. Or maybe I want to check what's in my carrier/orca maintenance bay, corporate hangar, or check how much fuel I have. And clicking the button to push the side bar away or pull it back out doesn't do much because I still have to adjust the window size, and then make it fit the inventory unit widths so that I don't have a set of unused half-spaces on the right.

If you can make this inventory management less of a headache for me, then I will bow down and submit to the great and almighty wisdom of the all-knowing CCP Optimal.

P.S.: I want a way to sort items by the estimated sell value that I can see on mouse-over.
