Nice blog, nice work. Thank you. Now on behalf of sticklers everywhere, will you please allow the Eve Mail system to display the Apostrophe correctly! Big smile

13 years and counting. Eve Defence Force is recruiting.

Sorting the asset page by the amount of stuff in any given station seems like a particularly bad idea to me. The whole idea of sorting is to present (obviously ordered) but consistent and predictable information that a person can effectively navigate. With this new method the presentation will be changing over time and not presented in any meaningful way to the human mind...I'd guess this will result in a lot more searches in the asset windows.

Well... the only thing that is changing with that is the now the list will be in descending order when you sort by "number of items", rather than ascending order . So if you like your assets sorted by "name", you are free to do that Smile


Cool. Allowing people to customize the sort is probably the best (didn't realize that's what was being done).

He must be talking about how if you author an evemail in evegate the apostrophes don't come through to recipients as apostrophes but the html encoded equivalent.

Lots of good changes.

Now, as a UI programmer can you tell me what are the chances of making the utterly moronic and infuriating overview freeze on mouse-over an optional feature?

Well done, CCP karkur! Smile
I like the coloring of the route the most. Cool

Keep going with the small changes and of course keep the players involved - either with feedback on your ideas or with their own ideas. 2012 is going to be a year of awesome improvements in EVE.

Nice to see CCP Explorer so busy replying here when he is so scarce in the Crucible 1.2 Feedback thread.

I love the UI changes, but I too would like the date back. I read the post why it was removed and it doesn't make sense. Date is relevant given how many of us play outside of the timezone EVE is based in.

I wish the UI people were the people in charge of the overview. We wouldn't have gotten something badly hacked by people who obviously do not play the game regularly.

+rep to CCP karkur!

Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round.

Nice changes ... every one of them. You have hit many on my own hit list.

One other change that would be spectacular (and maybe I missed it somewhere) would involve corporate orders. They show up in my personal order list. It would be super cool to have a visual way of distinguishing them from personal orders, both in the buy and sell categories. Color coding them would be nice.

As a matter of fact, if you really want to tickle the marketeers fancy, you could incorporate some way for us to tag and filter our orders in various ways of our choosing, much the way we do ships in the overview. Pilots shouldn't have to rely on an out-of-game tool to do such basic filtering. For instance, it would be marvelous to look at my orders listing and quickly see (based on color codes that I choose) orders that are mine in contrast to other pilot's orders.

This is not an unrealistic tool. It is not game-changing in that all of us would have the same tool. it is not even super-hi-tech in our virtual world. it just plain makes sense that I could quickly look at the computerized order list and see my order stand out from the crowd (many of use special cents symbols to make them somewhat stand out now - .55 cents). Why, even Excel can do that. You mean to tell me my spaceship is less techie than Microsoft. C'mon now. We can't have that.

In light of the other changes made, this seems like a relatively simple one, but who knows .. maybe there is something very complex preventing it. Here is to hoping....

Dex was here. Cool

Although i don't know what a quick bar is, usability changes like this are cool. I just hope it's something that isn't wasted or restrictive when/if this game gets the MUCH NEEDED UI redesign.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

I've reproduced this problem and forwarded to the relevant parties.

However, there was a new change that took place in Crucible. Aside from the awesome feature of seeing when our POS's run out of fuel, and the sexy new Neo-Com, something awful happened....we lost the date in the bottom left corner!!!! But wait...the time is still there....But in order to see the date, I have to open up the Calender!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we please have the option of showing the EVE date AND the time? I know you guys didn't think it was useful, but for some of us who live in other timezones it was quite handy.

I would again urge you to reply in this thread https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=902773#post902773 regarding the date. CCP Optimal replied to this question earlier today and I will ask him and the UI designers to read that thread again tomorrow. Thanks Big smile

I think it has more to do with we dont want to click on a calander to check the date real quick.

Why open another window you dont have to?
Also when the unified inventory out doesnt neocom open up a bit more?

Could ask for one small thing, please, while your improving life with better drag and drop options. When you create a contract & set availability to private, would it be possible to add the option to drag and drop characters names from your chat channels & / or contacts list into the name field ? It would help make private contracts so much more user friendly. Thanks in advance

Yaaaaaaay'z!!

Karkur awesome, best awesome:

As a sometimes T2-manufacturer, you have no idea how much less grating the whole process will be by being able to drag/drop/expand the BP into quickbar if you buy you materials off market...(I used to just stack the BPC and market windows together, but clicking between them--then waiting for the refresh in high-lag hubs like Jita got really annoying, really quickly.)

I have come to eat all your brains.

Nice one Karkur!

Still looking forward to an updated log/damage window. Along with a way to move/filter the middle of the screen log popup.
