At first I thought it'd be a matter of adjusting. Now it seems to become more and more annoying...

Oh well, there's a thread somewhere where a dev is asking for our little things....

can you create a keyboard shortcut for undock?

It used to be really handy having the undock button a few cm from the chat channel. Cause most often you're chatting when something happens and you need to undock quickly.

Plus we were all used to it, gonna take a while to get used to this one. Let us have a copy of undock back where it was!

They ruined many more things in EVE that just makes the undock change not worth whining for tbh.

the undock thing never needed to be touched, anything they "ruined" was probably just an attempt at "fixing" something CCP felt was off.

having the undock in the bottom left corner.. what exactly was wrong or off there, it never needed to be touched.

broken balancing is irrelvant to an utterly worthless "see this button you use dozens of times a day, we want to move it.. just cause we have the skills to do it! hah!" ui change

I have almost never used the station window as I can always get to what I needed with keyboard shortcuts or the neocom.


Then why don't just use a keyboard shortcut?

trolling is bad, but... agreed that this change is so bad that is actually does require thread of its own Evil

I thought my resolution was screwed and the button was pushed off the screen. I didn't see that radial thing either. I am on a Mac client though. Didn't have much time to play.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

I had the same problem until I realised it only works on an object in space, not empty space like the old one did.

"New undocking sequence!"

That made me laugh when I saw a couple tiny lights blink and a red light flash.

That's a sequence eh? lololol

Here's how you restore the original position of the undock button:

My guess is that they tried to solve a real problem: Noobs being unable to locate the undock button (*), but then handed the task to the UI developers instead of their game designers.

The problem could have been solved easily by adding a "How to use a Station" section in the tutorial, but programmers doesn't think that way. You know: If all you got is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail.

Here is my list of problems with the changes to the station view

  • The new position is just "new". It is hard to say it is "better".
  • The new position takes up precious (for some) screen real-estate
  • The mostly unused "Enter Captains Quarter" button now has a prominent position that doesn't match its use
  • The rarely used office rent/unrent/move button have moved from the bottom of the station view to the central middle position


*) Yup. It happens. Been there.

I don't have a problem with the rearrangement of the Station View per se, though I am quite entertained by the pointlessly hopeful magnification of the CQ button. I mean really?! D'ya think by making it all big and in-your-face that you're somehow going to overcome the glaring deficiencies of the CQ? Would you put big flashy lights over your garbage can, too?

No, my real problem is that the Station View changes are pointless. Developer time and effort wasted, when there are *useful* things that could use work - like an on/off toggle for the warp tunnel.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

They had feedback on this change, they ignored it.

Rinse and repeat.
