Improving the Inventory UI - What matters the most?

I love the sound of some of these changes!

Would it be possible to move the Item Hanger to be above the Ship Hanger in the main Index, or give us the ability to rearrange these Hangers?

Dragging items from an active ship to the Item Hanger is a really, really common action, and it would be much easier if these were located next to each other.

Many times, I start to drag items, and realize I can't because my ship bay is expanded and my Item Hanger isn't visible...so, I have to minimize it/scroll down and then start over...

Also, when fitting a large number of ships I've noticed a context issue between the index and my hanger. For example, if I fit 15 Thrashers, I will have 15 "Susan Black's Thrasher" in my index, and 15 Thrasher icons in my hanger, but the third Thrasher in the index is NOT the same as the third icon in my hanger's view.

So, if half the thrashers have EMP, and half have Phased Plasma, and I want to trade the ones with Phased Plasma by dragging them into a trade window, I can't click on each one in the context and then drag the corresponding one in my item bay...I have to manually right click and open the bay to see which one is which.

Can you make it so that corp hangars sort alphabetically/numerically in the tree?

Currently they retain their hangar layout and I'd like to move ours around a bit from top to bottom in terms of security where as previously we did it based on the 4/3 tab layout.

I theoretically would be able to accomplish this by putting a number in front of the hangar.

I would like the ability to add more Corporation hangars to certain roles / in general. Although this could lead to massive amounts of different hangars, it would allow corporation leaders to establish dedicated hangars to different players / groups easily. Though I understand that this may not realistically happen until the Corporation overhaul takes place.

The Index Tree has them in Alphabetical order (A-Z). In order to match that in the content area you need to Right-Click and select 'Sort by' and then sort it in alphabetical order (A-Z).

We discussed if there was a way to set a 'Sort by' action to run itself automatically every time there is a change in the inventory but that will affect performance so there is no easy solution to do it automatically but doing it manually in the way described above will get you the results you need.

Also, because unassembled ships are not listed in the Index Tree because they don't have an inventory in them until they are assembled you will have the content area showing different results than the Index Tree even after sorting in the cases where you own both assembled and unassembled ships. To make this easier to manage you should create two filters, one for showing unassembled ships and the other for showing assembled ships. So if you use the filter that only displays assembled ships and have the ship inventory sorted then both the content area and the Index Tree should match.

Hope that helps Smile

just for understanding: does that mean, that if i open a container, ship, what ever, it will open a NEW window and i DO NOT have to press shift, which i have to do in 95+% of all cases using the inventory UI.

Right and also already on TQ is the option to drag out a tab from the Index Tree outside of the window it's being dragged from to open it as a new window, no Shift click needed.

please make it so that when i look at a fit in the fitting browser, i can select an item on the fit, and have a right-click menu option for making that item the filter in my station items

would be very useful when i am trying to figure out if i need to buy things for a fit i saved, or if i already have them laying around in station (as is often the case)

Here is a small request for the inventory system. I would like to be able to "drag and drop" an item or a group of different items to the "+" icon to create a new filter.

The filters as you have implemented them can be very powerful however it can be a bit cumbersome and tedious. Being able to "drag and drop" to make new filters would allow specific ship fitting type searches or whatever else a player can imagine a lot easier.

CCP I would like for you guys to give asteroid survay scaners some more love: Give the results some more information, like remaining volume and maybe approximate isk value of the stack.

Please CCP arrow, tel me that it is not difficult and can be done in a couple of hours!!!!

Quite frankly, if they're going to give the survey scanners love, just increase the ranges purporational with the Orca & Rorqual boost ranges.

With a T2 scanner, you should be able to reach out to 35 - 40 km (if your strips can hit it, so should the scanner).

The volume, just info, then multiple.
Approx ISK - look at a single item in the hold, then multiple.

Tools for Power Users

For those that use the Inventory for heavy duty work, we have some nice tools.

First off, if you haven’t tried the Cut & Paste feature, it’s quite handy:

Select the items you want to move or simply use Ctrl-A to select everything
Hit Ctrl-X to cut the items
Open the destination inventory
Hit Ctrl-V to move the items


This looks pretty cool and useful.

However, I see no shift-ctrl-x or shift-ctrl-v to split and cut at the same time.

Say I have a stack of Minmatar Shuttles, but I only want to cut and paste half of the stack and don't want to waste more time click dragging to split the stack. Nomsayin?

The pricing metric, despite not being perfectly accurate, is incredibly useful and underutilized.

PLEASE ADD A 'SORT BY PRICE' into the inventory UI.

Additionally, it would be a valuable stat in the Assets window.

Please add TOTAL ISK VALUE per station into the asset window, on the right side of the station title tab or something that appears when the dropdown for each station is triggered.

One thing I would like to see is the ability to rename the divisions in each of the POS structures and in corp hangar. 1st to 7th division is not too intuitive and I want to be able to ammend it for our Corp need. Any chance having that?
