I would like to see it as something we are "delivering" to you, not forcing it on you
We do not want to have the 2 system living side by side, we just want to make this on right so you will like it!

While the circular brackets are nice to look at - don't they make a pretty heavy demand on CPU/GPU versus the square brackets? Client performance should be a higher goal than pretty.

I hate to break it to you, I've only heard complaints from a small number of people on the UI. It was difficult to get used to, but once you've actually taken the time to explore its features, it makes a GREAT NUMBER of tasks a LOT easier than before. And a very, very small number a tiny bit more difficult if you're in a hurry.

Who am I kidding, I do like breaking it to you - just like Prism X, I'm getting sick of the vocal few jumping up and down like toddlers whenever CCP wants to make their game look cool or function in a more modern way. Just because you're USED to the crappy old way, doesn't mean the game should continue using the crappy way.

The game needs players to keep getting better. This change makes it more accessible for some players, and knowing CCP, there's probably a backend revamp that went with this to make it less laggy. I hope. Well lag never gets fixed, just induced, so I could be wrong.

I'm not telling you to keep your opinions to yourself. Merely saying thta there's a difference between feedback and repeating the same feedback over and over again despite said feedback having been acknowledged.

Why am I saying this? It's not because we've got fragile egos and will cry ourselves to sleep if you don't treat us kindly.

It's because it creates a very bad atmosphere. We cant acknowledge the same feedback over and over again, so eventually we stop answering the question. That makes somebody feel like he is being ignored when it's really the issue having already been covered. That makes people angry. They start posting angry. Newcomers come to the thread and see an angry poster talking about being ignored. A bandwagon is created. Constructive feedback, such as making the triangles spin wildly out of control if your tracking is too **** for the traversal velocity, gets lost. Everybody loses and goes home a bit angrier than they had to.

That being said, I'm no saint. That should be obvious by the fact that I troll my own coworkers. But I cant do that if I start creating problems by doing that. Which is why I'm now making a longwinded attempt to re-rail the discussion that I feel I may have de-railed somewhat.

Has any logistics pilot made comments about this new UI?
I used to fly logi's in null sec battles, in wh's, and in Incursions.

I can't imagine what this is going to look like when I am targeting 15 pilots.

Fun fact: fighter jets etc. use circles in their HUDs, most notably to show things like countdowns, relational data, directions, areas of effect, areas of uncertainty, and so on.

The reason is because some thing are very well represented by circles and we have an easier time understanding them if represented that way (especially under stress). It's the same reason why circular dials of many kinds are still in wide use to this day: because they present the information more clearly and efficiently than other shapes would.
