EVE General Discussion

Yes, items get locked in station container even if it's set to unlock...

Maybe shift key solves the problem Joking ofc...

Also, it's nice to see my friends still on local while they are offline hours ago...I feel stronger, I'm not alone, my friends look like they're still with me ! the downside is that they just don't answer if you talk to them... :D

Well said

I have mixed feelings about the new unified inventory.

When I started playing EVE about a week ago I had (after some tries) one very large window for my station inventory, a smaller (but still large) window for my ship inventory, a small window as my ship hangar that I rarely used and a very small window for cargo containers / wrecks that I found in space.
Moving items from station to ship inventory and vice versa was easily done by dragging the respective icon from one window to the other. When I looted a wreck in space a small window popped up and automatically closed after I clicked the "loot all" button.

Now I have only one window for everything. Because of that I had to make it a lot smaller than my original station inventory window. With the new filter options it's still better, though. However, to move stuff from station to ship and back I need to concentrate more now because the target "drop area" for my drag'n drop is much smaller than it used to be. I can live with that but would prefer to have an extra window for the ship cargo. What really irks me about the change is looting wrecks after the change. The unified inventory window (in my settings) is much bigger than the loot window I had before. And even worse, it doesn't vanish after clicking "loot all" but automatically switches to show my ship inventory. The first time it happend was a "wtf moment". This is really annoying and I hope you change this asap. If I want to look at my ship cargo I can click the respective button to open it any time I want. And I most certainly don't want to do that while a swarm of hostiles surround me.

All in all I think the new UI inventory isn't worth it (for me) atm and I would switch it back if I had the option. If I were a vet player with tons of stuff to manage I might like it better maybe. BUT the above mentioned annoyance with looting stuff in space has to go. At least implent a change so that the inventory window closes after a sucessful loot all.

my question: how long did it take a new player to "learn" and work with the old system? Because i dont remember it taking anyone a couple of hours to work with the old system, and i have multiple friends who have started this game.
It took longer to figure out how to work with shipfittings, ammo +guns stats and other things.

Issues that are brought up to justify this new system are not even applied to new players. So ccp changed a system for the sake of changing it...

The solution:

1) Old inventory comes back

2) New inventory replacing the Assets window

you can now search throug/organize your stuff when you actualy need-want to.

Not if you've got access to all seven corporate hangers, with dozens of cans inside, with many corp offices that you visit on a daily basis for resupply.

For example, we buy on regional orders and have to do daily freight runs around the system to pick up the incoming goods, ship them to a corp depot, and sort them into designated cans or hangers. The opening of the windows now takes so long that we have had to suspend our operations. We'll keep up our existing buy orders, but once executed we have to consider if it's viable to put up new orders.

It's a question of working capital. We have X amount of ISK available in the trading account and we generally turn it over every ten days or so. This doesn't give us much of a buffer if we can't resupply due to the new time constraints.

Shift-click does not help either. In fact, it hinders. A combination right-click, left-click has the same effect and only requires one hand. Shift-clickers can do what they like, but if they want to browse their items and drink beer at the same time, they are going to have to use straws aren't they?

I do, all the time. It's really annoying.

Did you ever have the misfortune to upgrade to Windows 7?

It was exactly the same.

Suggestion: How about improving the UI by replacing the inventory tree with a fancy new thing developed a mere 30 years ago called "Windows"? If you do I promise to dance and sing your praises.

I want to go back to the old Inventory system. this new one is too many clicks if i want to open multiple windows.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OLD SYSTEM

it was faster and less of a hassle

Well I'm a fan of the new inventory system.. It needs some changes, of course, but as a whole I find it a step above the existing..

What I want to see..
Persistent Windows. I like to keep my active ships Cargo in the bottom right corner of the screen, all the time. Docked or undocked.. it would be there.. I can do that now, but each time I need to manually do it.. remember it.

The Search needs to search inside containers when in the Item Hangar, and inside ships cargo [ and maybe even fits ] when in the Ships Hangar.. Or at least make it an option.. I keep all my stuff sorted into cans, generally it's easy to find what I want, but still, it would be very convent if we didn't need to search in each can one at a time.

Remember Order-By in a per Hangar/Can basis. I keep my ships sorted by type, but I like my Items sorted by name..

Active ship in Ship Hangar.

That's all the jumps to mind for me.


Oh and on an unrelated note.. Let us put Repackaged Cans inside of assembled one, or at least inside Station Warehouses..
