Everything looks great - nice job CCP Alice!

EDIT: Some quick suggestions

- Fiction: the 'read story' link might be better styled as a button - I almost missed it

- Ship Viewer: skybox lines showing on minmatar ships

That is expected. In all browsers that don't support WebGL, we fallback on static images of the ships.

The new eveonline looks slick.

I can't navigate via the drop down menus. My computer isusing IE8.

The background picture is cool.

That being said:

Hard to get to info or even find it.
Where is a link to anything?

The static image takes for ever to load. That is the issue.

BTW, weren't some fixes to the forums to be released along with the new websites? I just noticed that the blue tabs still don't jump to the first dev answer. Question

Had to go into about:config and set webgl.force-enabled to true to make things work. Is that expected?
Also there seems to be a number of ships missing (Harbinger, Prophecy, Ferox, ...)
And the "All" tab doesn't seem to work either (only lists Capsule).

I'm starting to get headache with CCP again. Probably need another 6 months break.

Overall a very nice visual upgrade

Minor notes

* I think the scrollbar on the ship list in the ship spinning thingy should be more visual ( change to brighter ) and add < > there too to make it look more then a scrollbar. The first time i totally didn't see there is a scrollbar ^^

It also might be a good idea to extent the spaceship list over the full right site and move the info box to the top left. Shows better how many ships there are. Don't hide that in the small box down there :D

* Can we please have a link to the forum thread for comments in the News and dev-blog entries? You should make this WAY more visual .. that you can give feedback on those here in the forum

* If i click http://www.eveonline.com/sandbox/manufacturer/ on the video down below there. First of .. it should def. autoplay ( or make it WAY more visual .. that you need to click it in order to play it. Right now it just looks like a image. And i can't close the popup window when the video is playing. Also .. why can't i fullscreen the video there?

* Make it more visual that you can click systems on the StarMap ( http://www.eveonline.com/universe/people-personalities/ ). Maybe make a planet preselected.
Also give a few more information about the systems .. at least sov, sec status and constelation. Then in big red numbers below how many ships where lost there and how active they where. Maybe have the starmap randomly select a new system every 3-5 seconds. And ofc the big "CLICK A SOLARSYSTEM TO FIND OUT MORE". Also i kinda feel like .. you should group the solarsystems and give them a background color .. according to current sovholder. Now its just a .. cloud of dots :P

Omg and please make all those items in the WebGL thingies brighter. I didn even realize there was a fullscreen button in the starmap ^^ ...

* http://www.eveonline.com/sandbox/personality-analysis/ .. why can't we go back to a former question there?

Go to 'community.eveonline.com/', click 'Support'.
On the column on the left click on of Knowledge Base, Petitions, Api Key Management or Bug reporting (any of those will work).
On the new page click 'Eve main site'. Instead of being back at 'community.eveonline.com/', you get redirected to 'eveonline.com/'.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Are you on a windows or mac OS?



Neither, I'm running Linux.

Edit: I'm aware that Firefox 9 lacks some of the features for 3d stuff in HTML5, I would expect Chromium 16 to properly support it though.


Ok, never mind, it seems I'm having issues somewhere between my web browsers and my video drivers - most webgl stuff that I can find on the web doesn't work right. Sorry for the noise.

FF8.01 on win764, nvidia quadro fx 1400 driver v. 8.17.12.5896, ship spinner shows black, switch to map and back and it shows engine trails and what *might* be an itty-bitty ship. Also VERY noticeable edges to the box.

I tried the "force webgl" option someone mentioned above, got about a half-second of seeing the ship before it went black, switched to map and back, again trails + itty-bitty thing in the middle.

Update to FF10 since it's been so long since I've used it on this machine, still the same.

Edit: Oh, I can't seem to sort out what all I'm supposed to be seeing with the starmap, and that's as someone who uses it a good bit in-game... might be good to add a bit more obvious direction for just what can be done with the thing and what it's supposed to be showing you for the people to be enticed.

We'll look into the config thing, as far as I know there shouldn't be a need to explicitly enable webgl in Firefox, however FF 10 is relatively recent, things might have changed since the last we checked.

Currently we are not listing all of the ships available ingame, only a selection of about 50 of them. Regarding the "All" tab, "All" is referring to the races this ship belongs to. The only ship that all races have in common is the Capsule.

Ok, for a first-timer the website is nice to explore.

BUT, its a bit confusing if you are searching for something, an example:
you want to read some chronicles, you go to "creation/fiction" and see 9 chronicles. Now, you know there are more, but how to get to them? Its completely isolated. You have to go to the Evelopedia, search for Chronicles and hit the right page. Thats clumsy .

Also, i don't see the new corporation-forums? How to activate them?

At first glance, I assumed "all" would list all ships. Your explanation does make sense but I can't think of a better way of displaying it.

Also, while the ship spinning is really cool, most are very dark - almost invisible in some cases. Hound and Tornado pretty much disappear when spun away from the brightest part of the background.
Mind you, this can be the case in the game itself, so it's probably a realistic view.

The new corporation forums are independent of the new websites and not activated yet.

not sure I like the star maps under all the tabs. The new player checking out the website is not going to know what it represents

I would like to see one more button in the upper forum menu (near "Dev Blogs","Evelopedia","Forums") pointing to the main community page.

Also for those wondering if their browser supports WebGL: http://get.webgl.org/
You should see spinning cube if WebGL is supported by your current browser.
