I really like the ISIS, but have a suggestion to improve usability a little.

When running Eve in a triple monitor setup in 5760x1080, the ISIS window in only scrollable vertically since it fits the screen horizontally. Combined with the fact that it appears below other windows, you may have problems viewing all ships without having to move/close them. Taking myself as an example, i usually have the left and right monitors fairly full with random windows, while keeping the middle one free. This means that I am struggling to see all the ships in ISIS on both sides.

What I would suggest is simply being able to scroll the ISIS view sideways, even if it fits on your screen.

1. You need a "stealth" tag, otherwise some key information, necessary for new players, is notably absent. Why fly a Viator over an Occator? What makes SBs or Cov Ops interesting? etc.

2. The "Capital Industrial" group has no tags, even though the Roroqual does. This is not an issue for the Orca.

3. The Angel Cartel shipline is described as using both Armor Tank and Shield Tank, but on an individual, the dramiel, cynabal and machariel are only tagged individually with shield and NOT armor.

Supercaps are described as being worth 0 isk, I think that this might be misleading to noobs, who are the chief audience afaik, perhaps you can easily implement some other way that this UI resolves "no data" for price info rather than 0 isk, but that might be a very small issue and one that is UI-wide, so w/e.

5. Not necessary, but an improvement would be a tag for "resistant to warp inhibition." This would be very helpful to new players for seeing why certain hulls are desirable or interesting.

Otherwise ISIS is very good, great job, fun for old players to ogle, helpful for new players to get a sense of things.

I like the new ISIS.

Although there is room for enhancement, I consider this first step as well done. As always in EVE, people tend to be overcritical to new features (including myself) and people tend to see far more than the developers initially thought (which sometimes forces them to "balance" things out...). Anyway, nice feature, will surely be taken further in development.

Well done CCP!

Just posting my appreciation for those who worked on the ISIS screen.

+1 for a job very well done.
