been struggling with it on sisi, sorry dont like it. I think I see what your trying to do but I dont think we asked for this. If this is in the next expansion thats fine BUT IT NEEDS TO BE OPTIONAL.
Seriously, please dont force this on people. |

Solution:
1. Keep this shiny new system for people who like it and feel that it is useful. Use a separate icon on the neocom bar for this. An inventory system should be used for managing your ermm...inventory. It should not replace the ability open the windows you use regularly with a single click or right-click.
2. Retain the following shortcuts to open SINGLE windows, and make them remember size and position:
Ships and items on the neocom bar to open SINGLE windows. Right clicking on ship to open SINGLE windows for Cargo hold, Fuel Bay, Ore bay, Corp Hanger, Ship maintenance bay Keep the double click on your hanger to open just your cargo in SINGLE window.
In space, clicking on your cargo icon should open your CARGO only, in a SINGLE window, remembering size and position. Same applies to opening a wreck.
You get the part about a SINGLE window ?
This would go a long way to addressing a lot of the concerns most of us have.

CCP :: Please state the real rationale for developing this new inventory system. I know you have worked very hard on this for what seems like a long time. At this point, you need to swallow your pride and admit this sux.
If I play ANY other game, the UI is like lightning. In EvE, the UI is a series of wait states for just about every task I could mention. Try fitting a ship: I hover my mouse over the next mod waiting for the UI to finish clocking and achieve a stable state BEFORE I can click again and continue. Put plainly, I am faster than the UI, and I am considered a slow keyboardist by my PvP friends. The mod timers that can't seem to ever get synchronized is yet another quirky issue that we put up with.
In short, despite stated improvement, the current UI is slow, has many wait states, and is a generation behind any other modern game. Now you want us to go back to cave man times in terms of a clunky and poorly performing inventory system that makes simple tasks more cumbersome.
I don't understand the logic of this plan and corresponding new system that we will supposedly get whether or not we want it.
Lastly, I can tell you that this new system takes away some (actually a lot) of the fun factor by making the game more tedious. I'll just pose a question: is adding more tedium to the game experience going to impress the player base, and more importantly, new players, or will it have the opposite affect?
Massage parlor owners would not force their clients to get a sandpaper back rub, but could offer it as an option for some individuals who happen to like a painful experience.

Thanks to Tippia for an excellent assessment of the new inventory system.
For me, it boils down to what appears to be failed programming and design issues.
The biggest one is "object inheritance rules". I have said many times in the past that CCP fails to handle object inheritance. This is exactly what TIppia recommends via the idea of a "root object". I can wholheartedly agree with this suggestion.
The other is my own edcuated guess. It looks like this system is built around a hierarchical backend database model, rather than a relational DB. The types of limitations I see, and that Tippia lists, are typically synonymous with hierarchical DBs and/or badly modeled relational DBs. If so, this may well be a core design issue that will take you back to the beginning to fix. If your data model can't support Grand Daddy objects and transfer their inheritable attributes, then the base design is flawed badly. Additionally, if DB model is relational but makes it difficult to create a "root object", then again, the data model is flawed.
Good luck with all this. RIgth now I'm having trouble seeing the silver lining. |

A phenomenal write-up, sir.
I am completely on-board with your recommendations and solutions after having spent some quality time on Tranquility flying around and changing docked / undocked states several times. Holy confusion, large windows and unsaved states, Batman!
If CCP takes only one action over the next week, it should be to retain current Tranquility inventory management code until they can sort things out. 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284286 |

No, you. You use words that you don't understand, that's what I tried to say. And new system is not crap, it's just an unfinished work and just has to be tweaked properly.
I admit my mistake with win explorer screenshot (i just don't use it). But it doesn't mean that TC is multi-windowed, because it's one window with two locations open in it. If old UI is not like win explorer, anyway it is not like TC either, because in the case of TC you have to open the ONLY window, the only instance. Old UI functionally is like win explorer without tree view, several windows open, with additional feature like tabs, that's all.
Tippia's video is good, but there you can see that he uses half of his screen. Such usage of screen is much worse to me than one-window-view (in EVE). And to many other capsuleers, as you can see reading this topic from the beginning.
I think that you who need open inventories more than clean screen for other things are smth like 5% of players, so idea of cancelling new UI just for you is ridiculous. I admit that it needs tweaking and adding functionality, but without delaying its delivery to tranquility, in normal form of launching then patching.
p.s. from Tippia's video I see one more thing: it's the matter of tastes. He wants to see some inventories constantly and I don't. When started playing eve I, too, wanted to see everything on my screen all the time, but realized that it's inconvenient and is not even supposed to be convenient (i.e., usage of everything at the same time). There is main idea in eve that you always have to prioritize what you need. So I chose to properly arrange what I needed most - overview, corp chat, local chat, fleet window, drone bay, control panel; and to open inventory in such way that it uses only 2-3 small windows for a very short period of time. Seems you and Tippia, and some others, decided to give the inventory the higher priority. Suppose you are traders, else why would you do that. Not npc-killers and absolutely not pvp-ers.

GǪexcept that the issues I come across show up most clearly when you're killing NPCs, when you're (group) mining and when you're PvP:ing, because that's when you're more likely to come across a larger number of different item locations and when being able to monitor one without it interfering with anything else becomes critical. I have no idea if it's needed (other than pure convenience) for trading, since it's slow enough to let you click back and forth in a tree view and you have no overview, no HUD, and/or Gǣselected itemGǥ no toolbar that competes for attention.

Better if you dont do it, because you talking idiotic things again and again. The new inventory system is crap, worsen than old one,hard to handling, have bad functionality. Merging ships and modules, remove hangarbay, no multipanel it's a mistake. Everyone see it, just you talking bullsh*t here like this: "The new inventory will come to TQ because it's good " You wrote this. LOL |

Hey folks.
I just wanted to restate what we said in the Dev blog for the Unified Inventory that we wanted to get feedback from those that use SiSi in order to address problems that would occur. We intended on following heavily up on the feedback, doing as much as possible before launch as well as doing even further iterations and fixes in the upcoming release. Team Game of Drones is committed to a new methodology of using the principals of User Centered Design, where the User Experience of our players drives our design decisions.
Not only did we collect all feedback from the Forums, personal posts, Twitter comments and other sources but we took the issues many of you like Grey Stormshadow, Tippia and other have been pointing out and created a User Testing plan which we facilitated last week. In the sessions the whole team observed the live feed and took notes on everything the participants did. We don't do User Tests because we don't believe you when you say there is a problem, we want to address it correctly and by seeing it in action with our own eyes, we can more easily find a solution to the problems you have found.
Once we had collected all the date from the tests we created stories and design updates which have either already been submitted to the next SiSi build, or we are actively working on or have been put into our backlog of work stories which we will address as priority stories before we start working on other features for next release.
I'm sorry if people that have given us feedback have felt we didn't listen in the past few days, I hope this post has re-instated that we actually listen and act accordingly and have simply been doing nothing else since the release of our blog. In the future, when we go through the feedback and create User Testing plans, we will make sure we reply to all the different discussion threads on the forums where we read the feedback, so that you all know that the feedback has been read, noted and addressed.
Thank you all for the feedback, you help us make better features and a special thanks to those that have gone above and beyond by bringing us very detailed and accurate constructive feedback, it does make a world of a difference for us. CCP Arrow-á-á|-á Senior UX Designer-á|-á @CCP_Arrow |

I have some feedback, I think the new inventory system in stations should remember "settings/placement/which windows are open"... What I am talking about here... if you like to have Ships hangar + items windows as two separate windows, the next time you open the inventory and/or dock at a station, the same windows are opened...
I wish the ship you were currently in, was still shown in the "ships hangar folder"... it is very confusing that it isn't I am aware that you can just shift click to open new window... but I personly think that combining the hangar + items in a new window wasn't needed at this time and should be seperated (or make a icon we can add that opens ships hangar like before)
I like the new system for sorting the items, and searching through what you have and all that, it's mainly the active ship, and ships hangar that is bugging me. |

after testing the new build on sisi. the windows do remember where and what size the last window you closed. but they dont remember that you stacked corp windows in 1 place and in 1 size and that you stacked items and ships in another place and size and wrecks in a different place and size etc etc. the problem seams to be, the old system labled the windows and knew each one was different, the new system just thinks all windows are the same regardless of what you do with them. it also lables them all inventory:name of window. where it just needs the name of window.
the ship window needs to show all ship regardless of state, active, assembled or packaged, there ships it makes no sence for any of them not to be in the ship hanger.
add the fact that everytime you session change they all forget they were open and where they were open(see above) and anoyance levels increase.
i still find it anoying that items have lost there right click options, right click open cargo/bay/fuelbay etc etc shoudl be there and should open the window as it always did. i want stuff easy to find not hidden deep within the tree.
while this current build is better, it is in no way finished OMG when can i get a pic here

Yep Sisi is till not remembering what windows I had opened before I undocked and then redocked. Having to hold shift if I want to open up my cargo hold in a new window when using the ships own right click menu is just bad fuctionality. |
