I don't know where you've been taught usability and UI design, but that is absolute horseshit right there. The worst thing you could possibly do is have the UI make decisions for the player. Especially in cases like this where the choice of the clone upgrade is NOT trivial at all. How exactly do you suppose the program should decide what is the best clone for me? Do you think it has mind reading powers to know that today I'm going to go pvp and want a clone that just covers my SP and thus has a minimum isk cost, and that tomorrow when I buy another clone I would have decided that I'm done with pvp and want a clone that will cover me for the next few months of skill training?

Before you start spewing out such bullshit please go study the topic at least a little bit.


You didn't pay attention to my point at all, did you?

Clearly you do not get paid to write software that other people pay to use. Also you are an ignorant blowhard whose opinion I shall henceforth always ignore, secure in the knowledge that when you open your mouth or set fingers to keyboard, nonsense and garbage is sure to follow.

I would explain to you how utterly full of fail this response is (like 5 pounds of fail in a 3-pound bag), were I not certain the effort would be wasted.

If you were one of the other jackasses who brayed in a similar fashion to this respondent, let this post stand as my reaction to your stupidity as well. I won't be looking at this thread again.

As somebody else pointed out, I posted this in the wrong place. I'll put it in the features & suggestions forum.

A lot of the UI could be more 'user-friendly' or have improvements done to them. I just bought what's in the middle range, so luckily it wasn't that bad on my end but I can see how some could buy from the top without much thought..or even knowing what it is. Mind you, I'm like 4 days old here so it should be expected for me to a bit dumb here.

Hyperbole aside, this really is one of those very minor "quality of life" fixes that would probably take all of a few minutes to fix (most of that searching for where in the code it's located).

I have yet to see a valid reason NOT to have the list sorted the other way.

Are there more important things to fix? Sure.
Does that invalidate that this is still an issue (however minor)? Nope.

C'mon, y'all, instead of sperging all over a good idea (especially for new players who don't have the experience or patience that many of you seem to espouse), why don't y'all go undock and blow something up?

2.5 weeks in as an EvE noob and it seems pretty clear to me that you should be reading the information on decisions you are making, not mashing buttons and blaming UI.

The very 1st time I opened the clone window I understood what I was looking at and didnt think a thing of it.

Is this honestly a problem people are having? What?

You've been playing EvE for 6 years and gate camping is the best idea you can come up with? XD
