I want to make sure that anyone that doesn't see the stream sees this:

This is the direction I'd like to see them take the UI in in future. They're doing a roundtable on this later to get more feedback, but I'd love to see the game's UI match the beauty of its other visuals.

EDIT: Adding some shots of the older UI concepts:

FanFest 2012:
Tactical Overlay
Shield Damage
Dipping into Structure

FanFest 2013:
Tactical Overlay
Mining
PvE

I really think that is terrible, hope they can do much better than that.

Not sure how I feel about this. Definitely needs a lot more work, that's for sure. It looks way too simplified/bulky/cheesy, the HUD is sorta cool I guess, but it takes up way too much space. If there was an option to disable the back panels or change their transparency (I don't see a pin button on those windows), then I'd be okay with the concept. The chat windows are nice and streamlined. Make this more streamlined without removing function and utility, give more customization options such as re-sizing the HUD, the new selected item viewer, etc. and I'm for it.

Honestly, I don't see anything functionally better than what we have now. I only see bling for the sake of it.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

All we wanted was d-scan/probe scan keybind and maybe different filters for overview and d-scan. But apparently it would take more time than making HUD and in space UI into some holographic acid dream.

I think it's high time we brought the EVE UI out of the Windows 95 era, and while what they showed has issues with it, they also said it was merely a proof of concept to serve as an example of where they want to go.

CCP Arrow also stressed that they want as much feedback as possible about these changes to ensure that we can get an upgrade to something that looks like it belongs in a game like this without losing functionality in the process.

The concept is interesting.

I wouldn't want it to look exactly like that concept (the bottom section is too large and that overview is awful), but I agree that changes need to be made regarding the prehistoric HUD and UI

Very interesting UI. I sort of like it. Smile

But I second the concern that it might take too much space and/or be "bulky."


Also... predicting several months of rage and QQ among the people that don't like adapting if this goes live. Lol

How did you Veterans start?

I like it except for the modules, that looks like it could be better.

Looks cool though.

Beautiful, it would be a sin not to implement something like that. I would have to buy a bigger monitor but it would be worth it.

Thanks to the cainophobics, I'm confident CCP's trash collectors will be the last group of people to see this.

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Hell yes. +1
The only change I'd like to see is less spacing between the hud icons (as it is now).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Agreed, it does look a little over the top.
