Good afternoon pilots! Big smile

I have good news for you! CCP Optimal is here to tell you about some new UI features that many of you who visit Singularity will have seen in testing.

Team Game of Drones have been working hard to bring you a new UI that is more accessible and easy to use. You can find out more about them in CCP Optimal's latest devblog.

We hope you like the Info Panels! We would very much like to develop the 'Work in progress' stuff in the blog so please give us your thoughts on those too.

PANELS!

Looks really great!

With the waypoints in the stars... does this mean I can MWD to the system now? Lol

And we can assume by default that all panels can be right-clicked and actions performed on the item "selected"?


@Arronicus awww haha

Not yet tested but looks nice. I know people are crying out for new features and overhauls of existing ones. but little things like this (although the behind the scenes work might not have been little) are definatly the things i like!

Most . Awesome. Ever! :)

Tho, i still have a few suggestions:
- Please make it able to add comments to PI installations, that are visible in the S&I PI view. That'd be damn useful to us. (here is X resource, this planet is a corp PI stuff, etcetc).
- Add an rclick option to that AP bar, where we can promote system to be waypoints. Imagine people when travelling back to out-of-highsec. Usually set destination,then select the last high, set dest on it, now select the original destination and add-as-waypoint. Lots of extra clicks always...
- Regarding notification. Maybe this would be a place to have the fleet broadcasts also displayed? I think that'd be helpful, it'd wouldn't be default to other windows (since last patch) after a jump/dock/undock when the fleet window is stacked with other windows.

Why, of course you can. Did I not mention that in the blog? Blink

I'm not quite sure which items you are referring to, but all right-clicking should work just fine, and as before

This is cool.

I'd like to be able to reorganise waypoints by dragging them around the route info panel. So if I have a bunch of waypoints, say, Jita > Rens > Dodixie, I can click on Jita and drag it to after dodixie. I understand we can "optimize" waypoints, but sometimes I don't want to go the optimal route. Right now (as far as I'm aware) I would need to remove the Jita WP and re-add it after Dodixie. Much easier if we can just drag and drop it :)

Also, clicking on a the next system (or station) in a route opens the show info panel for that system. It'd be nice if we could use a shortcut key to perform an action such as align, approach, warp, jump on the next system in the route. Traditionally I would use the OV for travelling. But recently I've been using the route info panel leaving me to use the OV for understanding what ships are around me. It just lacks some tiny improvements to make it PERFECT. Allowing a user to perform navigation actions on the next item in the route would be super mega ultra awesome.

Good work folks!

Edit: spelling.

I love it. It shows more information in a compact way instead of dumbing the game down. That is the way to go CCP.

Well done. I know it was a lot of hard work to make this so clean and simple. Every pilot in New Eden should buy you a beer.

afaik you can move around systems today (or well not drag-drop tho but move up/down the list).

Shortcuts for align, warp, jump etc are also in already so need to click on OV icons (or did I miss what you wished for?)

That would be cool, but currently you just open up the new "Manage Route" window through the autopilot pannel settings pop-up, and drag the waypoints around there if you want to do it manually.

When we get around to add current system locations to the Info Panels (see screenshots in blog), you'll be able to execute whatever shortcuts you want on those entries, making exactly what you describe possible. It's a good idea to have the same thing work for the first autopilot route box as well (have it represent the corresponding gate in regards to shortcuts), so we'll definitely look into that.
