After taking few months break I'm happy to see that the "new" inventory system has made some progress from the state it was when I left. However after seeing that threads related to further tweaking have been "ignored/unanswered" by CCP lately makes me almost cry. What happened to the promises about "not giving up before inventory system fine again" ?
Personally I define it being fine at the point where I don't need to open the side bar if I choose not to. That would require direct access to ship cargo, hangar floor, ship hangar, market deliveries and corporation hangars from somewhere else than the side bar.
Technically what has to be done is following;
- Making it possible to drag and drop or other way add ship hangar, hangar floor, corp hangar and market deliveries window shortcuts to neocom bar for easy access. Ship cargo would be bonus but as you can open it by double clicking background image, it is not mandatory.
- Giving us back primary corp hangar window which has all the hangar folders and making it possible to set those sub hangar windows to open stacked with the primary window by default. This has to be done like this mainly to mimic/replace the tab feature which was lost during initial unified inventory introduction. Besides it wouldn't harm to view the hangar list while clicking the "corporation hangars"-item on side menu also. Currently it only expands the menu on selector bar, but nothing appears to main window. This is not how you would expect it to behave. Also without this kind of functionality entire thing would be rather impossible to link in neo com bar as shortcut window.
These are not very big things, but make huge difference in playability. It makes me sad that it takes months if not years to get 'em done. Please give the user interface higher priority in your schedules.
Currently the "always open to new window"-option gives me some comfort zone to live in, but after reading previous lines you probably noticed that currently digging up the windows if you accidentally close them is real pain if you tend to keep the all the side menus closed by default. There is the reasoning what you're looking for.
On lower priority list I would also like to see the "bottom bar" with isk values and such "optional" to save some screen estate, but that is not any major problem like primary ones I mentioned. Just something I wanted to mention to the end.
Thank you.
