EVE Information Portal

The removal of the ability to set our own custom color themes is rather disheartening. I'm not sure what the reason for that was. I personally would like a color scheme different than all the themes offered.

Dumbing down choices is never a good thing.

The colors of the Zephyr is bugged by the new light rendering --> Zephyr

Also the Amarr tech 1 ships used to be darker ships with golden plates, now they are incredibly pale as if all light is reflected.

I wouldn't mind the Gallente colours if they were done better, I just looked at the new Confessor model, it's truly beautiful, we need something approaching that level of care about colour maps.

The Gallente ships need a colour map redo. Engine nozzles something darker than crome, Engine spaces darker... just remapping everything as chrome highlighted all the flaws in the models.[/quote]

Hey guys,
Love the new maps, Thanks for the fix.

They had a clean and buff on the gold. National Pride and all that.

After using the UI for a while both on Sisi and TQ, I am still having issues with the new Neocom icons -they are quite small and shape recognition is not one of my strong points, heh.

I think it would be nice the abbility to add "color tags" to some of the icons, just for people who rely on color on top of shape.

I mean something like this mock up

Right-click an icon, choose a color hue, done. It would be very helpful for people who "click that orange and blue thing on the middle left of the screen" rather than "click on the Firefox Icon".

I had to take a break from eve for a year or so (can't afford to bring my old character back yet - times are hard etc) and made this character to see what had changed while I'd been away (after hearing that input broadcasting was getting beaten with a stick I just had to come back.) I'm not exactly sure what was brought in before this patch so I'll limit my feedback to the UI.

I like some parts of the new UI and I really like the old 80's LED effect that blinks on chat, and I think I'd prefer to see more of that kind of highlighting effect; for me that kind of lighting, the more subtle and classy suits EvE more than the neon highlighting on "station services" for example. The sidebar is too transparent for my taste though and it appears to me to be more of a problem than the icons. If you insist on keeping the sidebar this transparent I suggest you alter the icons to all be bright as if highlighted now and dim only the one being hovered over by the mouse or being selected.

I liked the blur effect at first, but turned it off after I had done a lot of traveling and found the blur distracting, and then ended up setting transparency to 30 which was pretty much how I used to have things on my old characters.... I'm sat in station while typing this and with my settings set as I've just described the sidebar looks incredibly weak compered to everything else. Sidebar blink would be much cooler if it matched the chat blink too - have i mentioned how much I like chat blink?

Icons: I'd like the "ship" in the ship fitting icon to be rotated about 120 degrees anticlockwise so it looks like the ship fitting window. I'd like the market icon to be a square around the existing icon - the index line is the dominant part of the icon and looks too similar to the map icon; I think a square all the way around it would make it easier to distinguish. I can live with the rest.

Buttons: Like I keep saying I would prefer the highlighting done the same as the top line in the options menu/chat channel picker. Buttons are weak in comparison.

It's a brave step to change the UI in eve (after all it hasn't changed that much since I started playing,) and I think it's a step in the right direction taking it where you are.

You guys really screwed something up with this release. The feel of the game has changed in a way that is hard to define. I feel like I'm watching a toy leave a plastic toy headquarters when I undock now. It breaks the feeling of immersion every time. The ships no longer mesh with the environment. I don't like it... but maybe it's just me.

Apparently the Dev's don't bother to read the feedback posts, this is just a place that players can vent without creating rage quit threads in the general discussion forums

39 pages so far, not a single Dev post yet!

Hmm, nice colors on my PC laptop, on my Mac, the ships still look like someone went crazy with a tin of silver spraypaint

I miss my purple and lime green colour scheme. The low-contrast charcoal grey against black against space means I really can't see where my windows end and space begins.
