EVE General Discussion

This inventory system is the most horrible part of the patch.

Mining operations:
If you've ever held a mining op with jet-cans pulled by a Rorqual or Orca, or dumping directly into the cargo bay on an Orca, or dumping from an Orca into a Rorqual, where they were once easy, are now incredibly painful. You really need multiple windows for doing these operations and its obvious that whomever came up with this design hasn't spent hours in a belt or mining out the ABC's of an anom.

Looting wrecks:
This should be super easy with two clicks (open cargo, loot all button) but it's now just madness. I don't want to open an inventory control system (and wait for it to load) while looting wrecks. All I need to see is the cargo hold of the wreck that I'm looting, not everything I have in system. This not only applies to belt ratting, but running a Noctis through a plex to get all the goodies and T2 salvage. And no, I don't want to fill my screen with stuff I don't need to see while running a salvage op.

Corp Hangars:
Moving things like blueprints in/out of a corp hangar to use the corp lab are painful. There is no reason why I need to open my entire inventory, then open (shift+click) on the corp hangar, then open (another shift+click) the container with my blueprints, and then struggle with now open containers/corp hangar that will reset their size every session change because they are now hidden behind a single massive inventory control panel.

Session Resets:
When I open my cargo hold, drone bay, station container, anchored container, Corp Hangar, or my friend's corp bay in his Orca, I don't want to deal with resizing it every single time I need to open it. I have different sizes for each based on what action each item provides me, whether its dumping ammo into my hold, adding/removing drones, or just trying to keep track of minerals or blueprints. I don't want to open something and watch it fill my screen.

The total lack of functionality makes it insane to use ...... and I haven't even covered moon mining/silos, POS refueling, corporate labs (picking up BPC's), etc. ......

hmmm, would like to apply for a job at ccp now, they must have some really strong stuff to smoke up there in the high north in Iceland.

And the folk at QC/release approval seem to have some even stronger boosters to get them stoned...

after having tried it on sisi and now almost continuously since release I can´t even understand what the goal of this "improvement" was, or what are the supposed target customers for this excellent example of bad usabillity.

Maybe it works for a new player with his noobship and 3 items in his hangar, but anyone that has to do some "serious work" in corp hangars, pos´es or large inventories is just screwed now...

Supported !


CCP: What were you thinking?

i havent played with the new items things much. but flying mostly amarr ships makes it easy to not load different ammos in the cargo.

I'm the same opinion.

Give us back the old inventory system.

or jita monument gets it

Heartily supported.


Also containers need to remember where they were and what size they were if they had been opened previously.

That should be really easy and quick to code too, only needs two functions:

1. Check if the container was open previously
- input parameter: containers unique item id
- output parameters: containers x,y coordinates, width, height and state of the container tree (opened, closed)

2. Save container UI-data when it is closed
- input parameter: containers unique item id, x,y coordinates, width, height and state of the container tree (opened, closed)

Settings file could be used to save the data so the user can copy the settings to another installation.

Then when opening a new container window use the values returned by function one.

That small feature would probably fix a large portion of the issues people have with the new inventory window.

signed as well..
