No there isn't , it was on the notes for the new map, it doesn't work in a wormhole either or shows jump distance. Looks good though so far.

Ships look less colorful and more 'sterile'. Same goes for the UI, it's a matter of personal preference of course but I for one don't like it.

Channel blink notifications are harder to see, station buttons are too small for my liking even when using the 'big' ones.

Visually, I think it's a step backwards, I'll prolly get used to the UI, but for now, can't say I like it. As far as I can remember this is pretty much the first time I do not like a visual 'upgrade'.

I like my muddy colored mess .

The frames on windows are quite dark, which makes it almost impossible to tell where one end and another begins when you have several windows overlapping each other.

Not to mention that the Ishtar is a simply horrendous shade of vomit inducing green

I really like the new map. As far as I can see in its current version the statistics do not work the way as in the old map eg. if I filtered on jumps in last hour I could actually see how many jumps there were if I hovered my cursor above solar system.

Do we have some info on the unidentified signatures yet?

If it looks like a duck........

I do not mind the new Gallente colours, but they could do with bring a bit less shiny.

People *always* prefer what they are used to. Even if it sucks.
Yes, the "hologram" optics are a matter of taste. But the old icons... This is a NO GO, every aspiring designer learns in school in the first week. They looked not simply out-dated, they were just bad. Illegible, terrible for usability. Even if it hurts, it's the right thing to trash the old icons... No more confusion.

Btw the probe scanner window needs new icons, too. But I guess it's all WIP.

Okay, I checked out the beta map thing because I knew right away this was going to be something I would use a lot in a particular way. I play EVE with two monitors on a single client, so I have the client set up at 3840x1080; 1920 per monitor. My right monitor is for all my intel, menus, etc, including overview, and the left monitor can be devoted purely to visual navigation for various things like manual piloting (slingshotting kiters in PVP) and making videos much easier without the need to cover up chat channels (because I can just crop out half the screen.)

So I thought I'd check out the new map, and I docked it to the right monitor. Now normally, my overview is on my right monitor pinned to the far right of the screen with the 'selected items' box docked right on top. However, when I docked the map there, it pushed my overview to the left monitor, regardless of having the overview pinned or not. I took a couple of quick screenies to demonstrate what my issue is here.

Here's my layout without the map open.

Here's my layout with the map open, showing how my overview is moved somewhere I don't want it.

As per the second screenshot as well, despite having all those pinned chat and menu boxes set to transparent (except for dscan), the map doesn't appear behind them. This map would be more useful to me if it were to appear behind those boxes or if it had bring to front/send behind options there somewhere. But the most important thing for me is that it doesn't alter my UI layout. As it is, it's more of a hindrance than a help.
