New UI is bad, to bright color takes too long to navigate.
Would prefere to have just for Clone state Icon on character sheet
Everything other new added to to diffrent window right now it takes so much more time to navigate.
SKills you cant use should be shown in Red( squares to and skills you got in white/green and skills you can train up in Gray/white only orange and white isnt hinting on first glance could be my personal thing.

Old skill que been much better for finding skill you are looking for skill to add to list, current one takes longer than adding from item you want to train for(from info tab of module/ship).

Not having trained any minmatar related skills cant use galente as alpha even if i have all skills alpha as galente could use
expecting it to be intended but beeing able to choose with one i will be locked by selecting minmatar/gallente before going to alpha and as minmatar race being locked to one i select ( gallente) beeing able use skill set for galente and not having to wait for those could be more friendly for those who would want to return but dont have their racial skills but for other faction.

Personaly dont like alphas having ability drain omega only skills or any skill with exctractor.

Omega logged off with ship turning to alpha can use ship its in modules or just fly it and dock ?
If it can flly and use modules you could have free freighter pilot that cant dock but unloads at poses or other structures.
If can use skills you will get alpha boosters. Need to check this at evening.

New character/skill sheet is awful - the current one is much easier to read and use. Please don't implement this giant waste of space, or if you do, at least give us the option to re-enable the old one. I seriously would not be able to play EVE if I was handicapped by this cumbersome new eyesore.

Some of the functionalities of current UI is missiong.

• A separate window for training queue.
• The training time multiplier of a skill.
• The figures of trained skill point/total skill point.

The above information is important for player to make decision on priorities of skill queue, especially in a long queue, and how many injectors are required to complete a skill.

Actually I think the current UI is instinctive and easy to navigate. Can you just emulate the current UI and add the new functionalities you need to it?

This.

Also, give us a save button for the skill queue. Just because we're changing the skills around doesn't mean we want to commit to the new queue. Currently we can cancel changes or not save them, but without such functionality, with a 50-skill long queue, if you mess around a bit you could end up making a mistake and messing up the skill plan. No explicit save or undo functionality discourages experimentation, which would make people less inclined to check their skill queues all the time.

And hey, from the fact that you still have that injector icon there, nagging away, I'm guessing you _want_ people to check their skill queues and get an appetite for more, so no explicit save + warning functionality goes against your actual goal. Personally I'd rather have no skill injector icon there and no auto-saving of the queue - either have both or neither.

If it's about avoiding the case where people forget to update their queue, don't worry about it - you already have the game notify players when a skill queue is empty or inactive. If it's about people accidentally _not_ saving their new queue, just have like a single undo, saved on the client as a restorable draft queue. As complicated as the latter may sound, it'll get far less in the way of the average player than this approach will.

I'm guessing an extra reason to have the injector icon, besides misguided marketing practices, is to provide a quick and easy way to check how much SP one will provide for the current character, as well as provide an easy link to the market. However, this is completely unnecessary - players who have played too little to know that injectors don't always provide 500k SP will also likely be below 5mil SP to begin with (or be so rich it won't matter that much). If they need to buy them, they'll just go to Jita or be told to go to Jita after they ask for the price. It's something a player only needs to learn once, not something you need in your skill queue every time.

Firstly, my apologies for a) repeating what some others have already said and b) not quoting them. Never posted on the forums before...

Had a little bit of a tinker about with the new char sheet - overall, I don't care for it. Here's why (in case you didn't see the other posts already on these points):

1. Skill Categories

There doesn't seem to be any logical ordering of these, which is irritating.

2. Skills

Perhaps I'm just not finding the appropriate option(s), but I can't seem to find anyway of seeing how many SP I have in a particular skill and/or how many are required for the next tier. Sure, I can see that I've got Super Awesome Skillz III but I'd like to be able to see how many SP I need for IV, not just how long it's going to take me.

3. Skill Queue

I have several issues with this. First, the design of it is, frankly, terrible. It shouldn't be permanently attached to the bottom of the char sheet, this limits my view of the queue. Secondly, the ability to modify the contents/order of the queue without it automatically assuming you want to commit the changes needs putting back.

4. Hover-Over Tooltips

On the one hand, having a hover-over popup for skill books in my inventory with a big blue "Inject Skill" button or having the same but with "Add to Queue" in the char sheet is not a bad idea to my mind. What's not great about them is they either don't stay around long enough, or they're too easily interfered with by other windows in the background. Trying to click the "Add to Queue" button on a skill when the popup was floating over the Fitting window (as an example) just meant that I constantly missed the button and instead clicked on the Fitting window.

5. My Huge-ass Face

Now, I don't really have that much of a problem with my face (you may disagree!) but I don't really want a sizable banner at the top of the char sheet with my head staring at me. Any chance I can minimise that?


I've not really played around with it from the perspective of an Alpha clone; yet...

Ah! Thank you, not sure quite how I missed that!

Still needed:

• Export/Copy to clipboard for current skill queue (not the one in training, the one currently visible, assuming there is an option to save, as is currently the case). I think if there's any time this can be done, it's now, while the iron is hot. I think it's much like double-clicking to append a skill - you expect this to be possible and when you find out it's not (not even using ctrl+a, ctrl+c) you get the sinking feeling of realizing you need to manually copy all the skills to a note.
• Don't discard the entire queue when clone state drops from omega to alpha. I would hate to be the guy who lets his omega status lapse for an hour and returns to see their skill queue, which they couldn't back up and are unlikely to remember, has been lost, leaving a single skill there (or 24hrs worth of alpha skills, which for most players a few months old means an empty alpha queue). You can either store the queue and skip over all skills that are untrainable as alpha (i would say those with omega skill requirements too but that's a tautology) or have it stored as an "omega queue", that can be previewed and restored when the clone returns to omega state.

i think the popup info for skill groups its too fast.
0.5 s would be better.

Stop pulling sh*t out your ass. Plenty of people applaud this much needed UI change. It will take some getting used to and after a week or two you will wonder how you ever lived without. Deal with the change, this game is not going to stay in the early 2000's forever. It's been there way too long already.
