Oof.
You guys really need to hire a UI usability expert - you hired economists for the Eve economy, how about some love for the people who actually have to try and use this interface?
1) 1st/3rd person games have existed for decades, it's ok to jump on the bandwagon and mimic their movement and camera usage. People expect a certain feel these days. Also, why does the mouse-scroll zoom opposite in CQ vs in space? Scrolling back zooms out in one, it zooms in closer in the other (at least I think it did - it was early and I was low on coffee this morning)
2) The old hangar and ship windows and stuff clutter the CQ view, and keep stealing focus, making everything hard to use. Simply overlaying what we've always had over the CQ interface was a lazy way to go and breaks the immersion.
3) Speaking of breaking the immersion - when we're in CQ, why are we still technically in a ship when it comes to clone jumping?
4) The little hologram of what ship is active is nifty, but if I'm not looking at my coffee table, how am I supposed to see what ship is active? And why can't I drag-drop a ship to the interface anymore to make it active? More clunky interface melding residue.
5) Aurum - Or-NOT-um! Those prices are a great scam - very EVE-like there! :)
6) I gotta agree with majority opinions here - keep the old in-ship and in-hangar interface and give a "Exit my pod" button to jump cleanly and COMPLETELY into CQ - leaving behind the regular Eve windows and interface. You can't have 2 interfaces.
7) Turrets - I'm hoping some rhyme or reason will appear eventually, but so far I just see a lot of new models that I have to learn. I can sorta tell each type apart, but the instant ability to tell if its a S/M/L gun, and long or short range - meh, that's been lost for the moment. The animations are pretty though :)
8) I actually have an alt that flies a Maller - nice model. Wants Moar.
9) The agent finder looked like it could be useful - same with corp finder. I'm not in the market for either so I didn't explore too far, sorry.
10) My wife's laptop won't even load CQ (Dell M70, nVidia quadro FX go1400), even on lowest settings - thanks for the headaches. Now I gotta go update drivers and try to optimize everything again. I'll probably end up buying a new machine soon though. I used to dual-box on that laptop 18 months ago... Le sigh.
Please to be fixing it CCP? I really wanted to like this patch, but beyond the cool login screen, I don't yet. ___________________________________
