JUST TAKE MY MONEY!

thanks, I didn't know how to respond to this at first. Basically there's no need, I'll share my thoughts as they come up, for free, as an avid player of EVE.

As for the UI, it would have been courteous to say "hey guys we're brainstorming things to bring to the UI, send your suggestions and mock-ups our way. we're willing to bet the playerbase can come up with some ideas to augment the ones generated by ten people in a conference room in Iceland." But OK we'll do it the secret way, when no other game cares about what EVE is doing with their UI (because forget Oculus, EVE is barely playable on a single monitor).

Features and Ideas is always open, and I post there. But I keep those ideas generally light enough that they'd have a shot at implementation. Something like a UI overhaul could have definitely been brought to the attention of the playerbase.

For that you just use UI scaling. That's already in the game on TQ and afaik would carry over.

Hell even as a single client, single character guy this would help tons.

- Sometimes I wanna put my windows in sucha way that fitting is easy so I can see my drone bay, cargo bay, fitting and station inventory all at once. Or maybe I'm just changing one module and only need to see inventory and fitting.
- Sometimes I'm running logi and I need to make sure I have watchlist up front and visible as well as my fleet window to see broadcasts.
- Or I'm DPS in the fleet and need minimal windows for situational awareness, and fleet can be hidden since the target broadcasts are on my overview.

But yes an XML based UI profile would be AWESOME, can have width and height, X and Y, anchored to nearest boundary on left, right, top, or bottom, and a few key states like industry would have collapsed bottom half, inventories in compact or full mode with a filter "XYZ" active, and chats tabbed with a defined set of channels in the specified order.

And if the bastards gave us back our RGB custom colors I'd have that set too. Logi Profile? All blue. PVP profile? All black and red with blurr-less transparency turned up a bit. Mining? Yellow. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.

Please consider making everything smaller in the new UI. Less padding, smaller margins, smaller buttons, smaller type. Cut out all the empty space in windows.

No color in the icons, its back to the ZX Spectrum age. Bad CCP !

And can you make those overheat buttons bigger. Stress and small buttons make people go ARCHHHHH !!!

Will the new UI separate the selected item box from the row of targeted ships? I.e. Can we place the row(s) of targeted ships wherever we want on the screen, and not only next to teHe select items box?

Can we also have a way to create filters for the different rows (for example targeted enemy ships in top row, while targeted ships from the fleet would automatically show on the second row...)

This is already true and has been for a couple years now. Lock a target and drag around the small crosshair icon nearby, the selected item's window might be on top of it. You can right click this icon to toggle anchor and to switch between horizontal and vertical target lists.

Also without changing anything you can drag targets around as if it were an item in your inventory to reorder them or to move then to an entirely separate line. I run as a triple-tracking link scimy in incursions, and what I do is move my designated link buddies to a separate line so that they dont clutter up the rest of the target locks as they need shields.

I don't like it it's a copy paste design from Windows 8 - it is super bad, icons are too simplistic.
There is no more design to it it's just flat design from iOS 8 and Windows 8.
