I'll throw my hat in here, too.
In my opinion, the UI should be CCP's #1 priority. For me and those I try to get to play: it's terrible. This isn't hyperbole. It's actually terrible, for the reasons already mentioned.
- A total right-click fest. - Far too many unnecessary steps to get any information, ever try to check market prices on 100-200 items in a hangar? - Minimal feedback: leading to a plastic/stale feel. For all the clicking you're doing, the UI inspires no confidence - Hideous overview that takes half your screen with elongated station names/fields that ought to be truncated intelligently
All of these "expansions" on top of the fundamentally poor UI have been baby steps in the wrong direction. The entire UI needs to be stripped out of this client, and replaced.

Complaining is not productive unless it is backed up by a proposal.
I will, just as soon as I receive my offer letter from CCP.
It's CCP's job to take our feedback and have their UX (or PM, whoever) team provide the "wireframes" and "interaction graphs".
Complaining about complaining is not productive unless it's tempered with common sense. |

Is that the best you can do? We're offering reasons for why we believe the UI should be implemented from scratch, which is the point of this thread.
Quit hijacking the thread with your failed arguments and overt hostility. You're not adding anything to the discussion, which is ironic considering your prior whining about being unproductive. **** off. |

One buddy's email said "D/Ld it and played it for a short bit, but the UI was horrible and couldn't get into it. Might go back and give it a try some other time." He then went off and back to League of Legends and is picking up another MMO now. The other guy said pretty much the same. Both of these guys are big on PVP and MMOs. They would've loved this game if I could've gotten them "into" it. I also tried to play Eve on two prior occasions (once many years back, another time a few years ago).. both times I quit because I couldn't figure out what was going on and the UI was terrible and unresponsive.
I do think that if Eve was able to come up with a completely new UI and one that was much more responsive, the devs would be surprised at how much this game might take off.
Absolutely. You only get one chance to make a first impression. The contrast between the "Sci-Fi, hi-tech" ideas of the game and the OS/2 style user interface should not be ignored. It's a poor first impression. |

They really should have made it as a plugin for Word with all the ranting.
