Stop wasting our time
The other day, I tried modifying a sell order, forgetting that it was out of range to be modified. I right-clicked the order, and clicked "modify order". It brought up the window that would allow me to change details of the order. I lowered the sell price and clicked "OK". It asked me if I was sure I wanted to modify it. I clicked "Yes". Then it told me I couldn't modify it because I was out of range.
If there is an action I'm not allowed to perform in EVE, why would it wait for me to go through a set of procedures BEFORE telling me I'm not allowed to? If I'm not allowed to modify a sell order, why would it bring up the sell order modification window? If I'm not allowed to modify a sell order, why not just remove that option from the right-click menu, and then put it back in circumstances where I am allowed to modify the sell order? Remember, sell order modification isn't the only thing where this problem exists.
Cut out unnecessary drag & drop
A friend of mine tried EVE for a while, but didn't like it. He gave a few reasons, but one of them was the fact that it makes certain things way more complicated than they need to be. I think this might have been what he was talking about...
in the item hangar, there is an option that says "fit to active ship", so you don't always have to have Items and Fitting open (which causes clutter), and you don't have to drag & drop (which is more of a pain than right-click).
This is good. However, this convenient feature is absent in another area that needs it: cargo. If you're looting a wreck/container, you must always have your cargohold open, and the wreck/container open, and you must always drag & drop. Same goes for stations. If you want to move anything from the cargo to the item hangar, or vice versa, you must have two windows open, and you must drag and drop. It's stupid and unnecessary.
In the right-click menu, when the circumstances are appropriate, add a "scoop to cargohold" option for looting wrecks/containers, add a "move to hangar" option for moving items from the cargohold to the hangar, and add a "move to cargohold" option for moving items from the hangar to the cargohold.
