A big part of Odyssey is helping players feel more connected with the world of EVE Online. While dropdown menus and the current UI does a cromulent job of presenting information, CCP Sharq is here with a dev blog on our new Radial Menu to help ease your day-to-day experience of piloting through EVE.

Tried it already on the Test server, thumbs up! It might need some time to get used to this new type of interface, but it can only be faster than the old way... |

Touch screen interface incoming! I can't wait.
EDIT: And why is "To Captain's Quarters" an option on the right-click menu for a ship in your hangar? Unless it does something awesome like drop the Rifter in your CQ? It might be worth revisiting those menus... Proud founder and member of the Belligerent Desirables. |

Just make sure you keep the right-click menu, or bittervets will drill you a new eyeball. |

Yes, EVE has a radial menu. You will only encounter it when it's least useful to you, usually when you're trying to turn the camera around and happen to drag an object by accident.
This iteration of the radial menu looks like it will be useful, some good work from kick-arse devs like CCP karkur & team. I won't be able to provide feedback until I get home, which sadly means after Odyssey goes live. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

Interesting, I'll have to go give this a looksee. Just a quick note, include a link to the sisi server info on these kinds of dev blogs just in case people don't already have it set up or don't know exactly what or where the test server is at. |

It was one of the first things i asked in rookie help how to turn off. Luckily someone was nice enough to mention changing it to the middle mouse button, and my life became easier. Don't believe they're keeping the option of the middle mouse button, which is a shame with how much the thing lags out now.
With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

They are... at this very moment I'm changing it so you can map it to any of the mouse buttons and also change the delay
And we are working on the lag, and I believe it's solved for the most parts CCP karkur | User Interface Programmer | Team Pony Express | @CCP karkur |

I would like some customization of how long it takes to trigger the radial menu, or even a key to hold down to trigger it instantly when clicking on something in space... as an alternative to having to old down the mouse for a sec...
even if you only add a function in the shortcut menu under ESC, that people have to add their own desired key to, that would be enough... say I wanted the radial to show up instantly when I left clicked on something, I just have to add a key like < or alt or whatever... and then hold that down + mouse 1.
it might be useful to also allow people to change what mouse number to click to activate the radial menu, such as using the center mouse (3).

I would also agree with this
The ability to select an item via the radial menu using a number key could also be useful for the default actions.

The layout of the buttons is sub-optimal at best. The Primary Action button is in the top-most position and it is generally the button you least want to hit in a stressful situation, the navigation buttons are thrown all over the place... I've said this elsewhere but I would suggest moving the Primary Action button somewhere else and having the target or approach/align button at the top, with all the navigation buttons next to each other like the current radial menu. |

Since I can't test it right now, can someone please let me know how certain things work?
Is it still click-and-hold to bring it up?
How do the dynamic distances work for orbit, keep at distance, warp to etc? Do you continue holding and drag them in that direction? Do you let go on the button and then move the right distance and drag again?
One question, I use the left click button all the time to select things? How is that underutilized? I would much rather see this as a full right click replacement rather than a left-click addition. |

when I click the scanner button, I want the scanner. not sub menus from the scanner that I have to click to get the scanner open. major annoyance imo
rest of them are ok, slow and laggy and seam to cause the mouse to do random things. I will avoid them like the plage thanks for the effort though OMG when can i get a pic here

The scanner radial menu is a different one, if i recall correctly. That one you still have to click the buttons.

It might be interesting to have the radial menu triggered by keypad-5, with the options mapped to the remaining number buttons. That would make a new world of shortcuts that are inbetween single-purpose Ctrl+Key shortcuts and clicking the mouse for everything.

I used it and liked it. Now that we have a radial menu for the left mouse click, why not make one for the right? It should be easy to distribute all the options of the right click menu in two distinct radial menus. Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. |

you click the button then have to click the sub menu. but that sub menu is the one listed at the top of the scanner window. In my case its the same one as I want open and open and close frequestly, just now I have more buttons to press to get the same thing its annoying as hell if you just want the last page of the scanner opened again.
many of ccp's current changes are adding more steps into processes and calling it 'making things simpler' when all they are doing is adding more steps. its pretty dumb over all imo OMG when can i get a pic here
