EVE Information Portal

I have a small gang of highsec miners that currently rely on being able to dump into hangers they have no access to. If you take away this ability, it will cause several corps to re-structure, and we wont be happy about it.

Another task that needs multiple windows is station trading.

I want to have a ships and a items window open to see when some of my buy orders are filled.

Currently you can see the inventory windows filling with new stuff without going through the orders, you immeadetly see what you have got. With only one window, this is far less obvious.

Station trading as i do it lives from seeing new bought stuff and putting it on sell order right away. I check those windows far more often than i go through the list of orders. I want to see that on one glance, without clicking through a list. Especially if i read a book and look at the eve window from time to time, I only go up and start clicking things if i see there is something new to sell.

Nice idea but seriously needs more time in the oven

I have to say: the filters can go. So can the ISK estimates. I don't really want to use filters, I want to sort columns. Usually sorting by name or quantity is enough, but sometimes I want to sort on BPO ME level, or tech level, or module size. Filters are something, but they're cumbersome in comparison to proper sorting, in my opinion.

I can go both ways on the folders vs. containers thing, but folders definitely seems less EVE-like. There's a manual aspect of EVE, despite the kind of technology that capsuleers have access to. Otherwise, I'd be able to script my trade orders, mining lasers and mission ships to work automatically. Convenience for convenience's sake isn't necessarily a valid argument.

I agree that the current system has problems, but maybe the solution is to improve containers instead of making them useless. Let us build all of them, and maybe move them in flattened states. More size options. Less restrictions (maybe by getting rid of the Planck generators). Folders are neat, and they're easier than containers, but they're not necessarily better. Let us nest our containers, and I think we've got a nice balance between usability and gameplay. Organization, like everything in EVE, should come at some cost.

OK. here is a quick proposal to CCP:

1) Leave the old-style inventory management the way it works today. That is, separate windows for each locations, opening a container opens a new window.

2) Merge the new Inventory Manager with Assets Manager into a new multi-tool with the current functionality plus the ability to see the remote assets.

That way you let people chose for themselves what kind of inventory management that best soothes their play style.

I know that the new Inventory Manager might work perfectly for a lot of players, but for those of us who have lots of crap to manage and have a preference to how we do so, this new manager in it's current form is a complete disaster.

is it a bank holiday in iceland also?. or have the devs just forgot about this after the first few comments

This made my day now thats the inventory I wanted for a long time CCP great job there something we all use every day and it helps us all in game a definite 10/10 from me

This may be the most important/needed fix to the entire game ever!!!!

Just 3/10

Btw for UI related stuff I would recommend doing those user testing sessions while planning the features - not when they are already "done".
