EVE General Discussion

i'm fine with it, how are you with it ?

New inventory is fine. Still have my ships and items panel in station to. Actually, I wasn't convinced they had a new inventory UI for the first 2-3 minutes until I found it. Everything seemed pretty normal to me, and when I found it, I wasn't overjoyed but I had no complaints either.

Somehow, that seems rather flippant and pat. Are you sure about all that ?????

Someone's got themselves in a terrible snit!

the only change I've noticed is when I double click my ship it opens my cargo and drone bay at the same time and instead of the tabs being on the top they are on the side. oh and below is every other ship in station.

ships/items tabs are merged with station panel. still have the assets window for all the other stations and whatnot. dunno what the fuss is about

Actually... the UI is quite nice. Yeah sure there are a few features I'd like to see missing right now. You know basic things like the UI remembering previous window positions, an option to sort your ships by type instead of name. Then again those things can be categorized as "nice to have" it's much more important that the core functionality is solid and works (which it does).

I wonder all the time what people are complaining about not being able to do this and that quickly anymore. I actually have to click a lot LESS now and mess around with a lot less windows that can get in the way of me doing stuff.

Maybe for the extremely dumb here's a pro tip: you can actually drag'n'drop items from your active window ONTO the entries in the tree structure on the left.

Well you only had to ask my good man! Unfortunately I can stalk the forums every single minute hoping to reply to quotes because, you know. Life. I has one, so it's a tad late.

Reason 1) The Filters. Insanely powerful and can make sorting out loot for either sell or refine in a single click.
For example set up the following filter:

Greater than Meta 2
Less than Meta 5
Estimated market vaule Greater than 100,000 isk

Click it and boom all the loot thats worth selling appears, ready to be dragged into your ship for hauling to a hub, also stops you from picking up your tech 2, faction and deadspace.

Reason 2) Station Warehouses. They now act like tabs, a bit like a corp hanger divisions use to work, I tend to use them a lot for certain things, I have one for ammo and then one for refine trash and for stuff waiting to hit the market on my next run, just click on the tab on the left side bar, select what you want (Pro-tip filter to serperate faction ammo from the trash ammo) drag and drop straight into the ships cargo. Super easy and only needs one window.

Reason 3) Estimated Market cost. At a glance I can work out roughly just how much ISK I have sitting there in minerals, or loot whatever so it's easier to work out just how much I'm sitting on. More useful around plex time. One argument I keep hearing about this is people bitching that it doesn't work on deadspace/faction in their region. What the feck did they expect? To sell it in Everyshore? You sell it at a hub or use a contract like you use to before the damn system change.

Is the system perfect? No. It could do with some tweaking when it comes to POS's and Flying in space, it certainly doesn't need a major overhaul, and is vasty superior to the old system in a lot of ways.

Just need to use your brain a bit to get the most out of it.

Yeah I love it too when you open up a folder then open up a second it replaces the first one you had opened.

Very intuitive!

Because we all love those tiny mouse targets, that keep changing the info displayed on the window I am working with if I hover just a moment too long.

Hi CCP!

I love the new inventory system and I see where you're going with it. However, with it's current release, you'll make a LOT of your existing customers mad. Please, in order to avoid a huge protest etc, try to keep things similar to how we're used to using them, yet enhance our day to day tasks. As I said, the new system is better, but please don't remove our old functionality that we are used to.



Tippia has made a pretty awesome video you should watch.

Suggested Enhancements

• We need yes... NEED the ability to rename corporate hangars at pos's. (pic) (12-05-13)


• Dual pane view similar to Total Commander . This would make you UI people gods and probably be, in my humble opinion, the greatest improvement to the inventory system.

Dual Pane idea clicky


• Being able to drag ships from the index like below to make them active would be a good idea especially when you need to fit a lot of ships in one go. (image) (link) (clarification)


• Inventory windows/cans don't remember their size or position. (12-05-11)


• Old behavior of windows when docked, you'd undock, they would close but upon re-dock, they would re-open has been asked to return. For example, I'd like my ship window to open by default every time I dock or my corporate hangar to re-open if it was the last window I had open.


• Filter filtering...
The ability to create a filter that includes Medium Turrets + Medium ammo only. For example. I can do this, however finding all the names of the medium turrets is a challenge. I understand this may require adding an additional flag to turrets in the database and isn't an 'overnight' fix.

I just wanna see projectile ammo, or hybrid etc. (clarification)


• Keyboard shortcut (similar to windows 7- winkey+{type} )does application searches. Would be great to have this implemented into EVE on some fashion. (link)


• Easy transferring of custom filters between characters/accounts.


• Right Click > Find in assets on modules/ship fitting window, market etc.


• To make setting up custom filters easier , if you could drag multiple items to the new filter button and it would generate a filter automatically based on the items and bring you to the "name new filter" dialog.(12-05-14)


• Create Simlinks to familiar shortcuts. MS did this with Libraries. When I click on a custom library on the left tree, it would open a custom filter (I.E.: Ammo AND Turrets). This is accomplished with custom filters.


• Naming of corporate tabs.

Neocom Stuff to Enhance Inventory:

• Custom Shortcuts on the Neocom.


• Bring back ship button that goes straight to your ship container. A corporate hangar button would be great!


• Right click menu on neo com for inventory to go to 'explore' that part of your tree. <-- this should be the new corporate hanger behavior.

Potential Bugs

• This is likely a bug: Unassembled ships do not show as a folder under "Ships" in the new inventory system. (link)


• There is no way to distinguish between locked and unlocked BPO's. (EVE Time: 2012.05.23 09:25)


• AND / OR queries seem to make it so there are no results. i.e: Ammo AND Turrets returns no results instead of showing Ammo... and... Turrets. This has been solved. There is a 'match' bubble down by the area where you name the filter. "Match "any".


• Inventory size not updating to proper value causing errors. (link)
