Stealth bombers, missiles and associated effects = win.
Filters - I like
With regards to the unified inventory, I remain.... unconvinced by it.
- If I've got a load of ships in the hanger and I want to move some items from the ship at the top, I've got to select the ship to bring up its cargo, scroll down to the item hanger and then select the items and drag them over, it's not a disaster, but it just doesn't seem quite right to me - especially when you've used Windows for years and gotten ever so slightly used to moving things from one window (folder) to another (folder) by dragging and dropping, much like the old inventory.
^ I know you can open up a folder in a new window and relive "the good old days before change happened", but, if I undock and then dock up again the old window is no longer there :'( also, it involves more effort than the old system of click the item hanger - get 1 window, click the ship hanger - get another window, drag and drop.
- "Xarhariel's Raven" and "Xarhariel's Raven Navy Issue" look remarkably similar depending on how wide your side bar menu is.
Also because of the fact that the ship type is at the end of the ships name in brackets, I now have to read the name of the ship and then select it as opposed to the old way of looking at the icon of the ship and being easily to pick out what the ship is you want. (Yes I know you can view ship icons by selecting "ship hanager")
- Using the old system, the ships in you hanger felt like an epic arsenal waiting to be unleashed on an unsuspecting universe
 , under the new UI, the ships in the side menu feel like "meh folders"  .
- Did I mention that the new UI feels less intuitive compared to the older version (to me anyway)?
For me, the best thing CCP can do right now is put the icons back for the item hanger and the ship hanger so that they open up a new window (using the new UI window style if they want) for each hanger. - As for corp hangers, POS and orcas, I'm quite sure others can suggest something.
Hopefully, CCP will take on board our criticisms of the new system and then do exactly the same thing they did after incarna, when they removed ship spinning. ("Take it out, put it back in")
As an aside, given that they've gotten shot of the old inventory system - shouldn't the option, in the "General Settings" tab, of 'Merge "Items" and "Ships into station panel' been removed given that it now appears to be a little on the redundant side? |
