This is good because the more I try to use it, the less I want to use it. The layout of the buttons is sub-optimal at best. The Primary Action button is in the top-most position and it is generally the button you least want to hit in a stressful situation, the navigation buttons are thrown all over the place... I've said this elsewhere but I would suggest moving the Primary Action button somewhere else and having the target or approach/align button at the top, with all the navigation buttons next to each other like the current radial menu. |

How often do you "View in Planet Mode" when you're out in hostile space? Because when I highlight a planet in my overview the last thing I want to do is view the ************ in Planet Mode.

The current radial menu has them next to each other and it's a much better scheme than the new scattered format. |

One of the main problems with the current menus is that it is entirely too easy to click the "wrong" button because buttons that do something entirely different from what you want done are in illogical places, like right next to buttons that do what you want done. This is not changing with the new radial menu. Grouping items that do similar things is natural, scattering them to the four winds is confusing.
Ranger 1 wrote:If you can't get a handle on the logic of the placement of the nav buttons, perhaps you should stick to the right click menu. It's really not that difficult of a concept.
No ****, right? That's exactly what I said in my OP that you decided to take issue with. How about you just let it go because I'm airing my grievances to CCP in a comments thread. Thanks. |

Something that would make the new radial menu much more palatable, to me at least, would be the option to rotate it 45 degrees clockwise. This puts the navigation buttons at the cardinal points which results in much more natural mouse movements to access the more desirable actions. Dragging out the Warp-To, for instance, would feel "easier". |
