EVE Information Portal

As many may have already said in the thread i would like to ask to postpone some "blingin''" of they UI and give higher priority to a batching sistem that allows us to use multiple BPCs with the same ME/TE; and a batching sistem for invention (Hint: Look at the current copy method, do it for 20 times in a row as long as i frontload all materials).

This would solve the problems of the 5 max run capital parts BPCs in one go too

I apllaude you from reducing the clicking and the time needed to do a ripetitive task, fact is, i still have to log every hour or so to do so.

That doesn't create interaction, doesn't create content, it forces me to "fight" versus the UI, which is what you are trying to resolve with this expansion.

Given the fact that this rehaul will be done now and then it won't be done for years, let's do it good once and for all

Don't know if already spotted: UI inconsistency

Material Level (should be Material Efficiency)
Research ME

Productivity Level (should be Time Efficiency)
Research TE

Time including seconds would be appreciated. "Less than one minute" is totally useless in spreadsheets. Even keeping abbreviations isn't unreasonable: 47d 15h 32m 5s

Looks well done. I like the invention chance for success stuff. Other stuff seems like it will make it easier on new players. Vets I'm not so sure. I really need to play with it to see if I'll like it. I hope you work in enough time for people to test it out. Stuff like changing refining rates and such are usually not an issue for feed back - either it's good or it's not. This might be a bit more involved.

I am guessing that you are filling in all the labels that you are missing later right?

On this http://cdn1.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/66065/1/Industry_Window_VisualTarget2.png
how many items of what exactly are you actually missing?
Is that supposed to be shown in roll over? Why?

what is that icon above the ship?

Showing us two images of the ship *the bp image and the finished product is nice i guess, but you are wasting space and bloating the window

do not use this ever.

this is also garbage. Do not pretend that adding graphics and removing text is better in any way. requiring a memorization of graphics which replace properly named items and figures necessary to perform the task does not simplify the task.

and what the **** is that touchmark? it seems you surveyed people that dont actually play but have heard about it from you.

CCP, you may want to look at skill requirements for copy, and then make sure it can't be done on trial account.

The 50,000 one-person alt accounts setting up POSed in his sec for copying BPOs because of the stupid change to not being able to use a POS to manufacture from a locked down BPO will be abusing the HECK out of trial accounts to crank out copies.


Oh my gawd the monotony opf having to log into alt after alt after alt after alt, just to deliver and start copy jobs.... You have created hell in EVE.

Good job CCP.

I've read the whole Industry UI blog twice (smiling both times) and I would like to say: THANK YOU!! As someone heavily engaged in the industry (although not so much recently) I can't express enough how happy I'm to see all those changes.

I would also like to provide a bit of feedback (and my apologies if it has been mentioned here already):


1) In the main Industry window, when doing a job that requires materials, would it be possible to show somewhere how many units of given material are present in the job location, even if I have enough already?

Example: I'm making one ship(from a one-run BPC) that requires 100 Mexallon. I have a total of 300 Mexallon present in the location of the future job. I would like to see that information of 300 Mexallon somewhere in the UI without going to the assets tab.

Why? This is important for inventions, when I'm using 10 BPC, each with 3 runs. The new UI(and the old one as well) will tell me whether or not I have enough to make 3 runs. But I need to know if I have enough materials to make 30 runs (10x3).
I hope I explained that clearly.


2) In the jobs tab I would like to see a bar for each undelivered job what would indicate how far through the process of making the job is. Right now I have to look up the time and do the calculation. A bar would provide clear indication if the job is 20% or 50% or 80% done. The closest example of the bar I'm imagining is the skill training one in the Neocom.

loving what I have seen so far.

8/10. keep up the good work.

The UI should allow you to pull materials from a corporate hanger array anchored at a pos to install a job in an assembly line anchored at the same pos. Better to use your hanger divisions to supply your manufactureres than to constantly move materials around to different assembly lines.

Yes please! This suggestion was also made over on the "ideas to improve the contract UI" feedback thread but +1 to wherever I see it.

Made from Mexallon. I mean it's bad ass stuff.

Don't worry, they'll fix it after all the input on SISI...oh wait
