Or is it just to have something new?[/b] Hi, to try explain the team's rationale in how the new Radial menu is designed I need to explain the background a little. We're the same team that redesigned the targeting brackets and damage messages. After Retribution, our team [Pony Express] has been prototyping and refining the new radial menu constantly since December. The new Radial menu is not an update of the old one. The 'old' radial menu was something that was put into EVE a long time ago as an alternative to the right-click menu. It was not extensively designed nor refined after release. The reason why we chose to redesign the radial menu was that with an all new design without constraints we could design a layout designed to minimize errors and help with muscle-memory learning. Yes, the small number of players who used the old menu will have to make a new effort to familiarize yourself with the new layout but you after that familiarization period you should find that it is much faster to use, easier to read and more powerful with more features such as customizable Orbit, Warp and Keep at Range distances. - EVE Online Quality Assurance -

Day was already bad when I found out the Radial Menu change, making it go from bad to horrid) that I'm going to have to go back to basics once more, and relearn my muscle memory. Is it possible to allow customization at all? I know you did that with the Neocom. For me, a strong Radial Menu would be the old one, with the current layout just flat out annoying. Just having 'Look At' underneath a submenu is bad enough. If you want to make a stronger tool for pilots, allowing them to set what icons they need and where those icons are would be a good step forward. Creating the interface to customize menu locations is not a small task and we don't have time to do that for Odyssey. - EVE Online Quality Assurance -

The right-click menu can accommodate thousands of combinations of options but the Radial menu cannot. tl:dr No So what about adding the option to move the old rightclick to another key? The Radial menu is an alternative to way to access options commonly used in space-flight but it does not replace the right-click menu (same relationship as keyboard shortcuts). Right-click menus are used all over the EVE client especially in inventory management and it would be a bad idea to mess with that paradigm. - EVE Online Quality Assurance -

The options in new Radial menu and their location has been carefully considered and prototyped with various versions. This is not something that had been done on the old menu. We are considering swapping the location of a couple of options based on community feedback, but these changes fit within the design guidelines of the new menu. Reverting to the old layout would not. A DevBlog from our UI Designer CCP Sharq will be published shortly which outlines the rationale behind the menu and its layout. Hopefully this addresses your concerns. - EVE Online Quality Assurance -
