Multor Kaston Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 13	Posted - 2013.07.14 12:10:00 - [1] - Quote Only found one thread about this from over a year ago and a short one at that... surprised this hasn't gotten more attention. What do you guys think about the size of the fitting window? I'm finding it is a waste of damn space. I can't properly fit the other windows I want open with it at the same time. I find myself constantly shifting positions of windows in order to do various things in relation to ship fitting. It cannot be re sized or made opaque. You can close the info panel on the right however that is more important to me than the other panel TBH, and it still suffers from a height issue independent of this. Am I missing something? If not, who else agrees that the window size needs to be reduced/reducible?
Tarsha Listur Galtaki Rangers 3	Posted - 2013.07.14 12:47:00 - [2] - Quote I think it functions fine, exactly what windows are more important than ship fitting?
Multor Kaston Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 14	Posted - 2013.07.14 12:51:00 - [3] - Quote The inventory window. One cuts off the other no matter where they are moved. I can resize the inventory window so it's not the case, but then it becomes quite hard to use and/or I end up with missing information.
Mr Kidd Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 1336	Posted - 2013.07.14 12:52:00 - [4] - Quote The fitting window is redundant. And it does take up too much space. They should ditch it. Instead, the cap dial...whatever you call it, should hide when you dock but still be able to reappear by ticking a button at the bottom of the screen and you should be able to fit you ship directly to/from the module buttons with a slight addition to show rigs/subsystems. HTFU!...for the children!

Anything smaller would make it more difficult to distinguish the modules (important to see when switching them with other fits, as the database can be very iffy in switching them -- the fitting mechanism is borked at the moment).

Yes. This.
Beekeeper Bob Beekeepers Anonymous 692	Posted - 2013.07.14 18:51:00 - [7] - Quote The fitting window is just fine, what you need is a real computer..... If you aren't running on at least a 27 inch screen in HD, you don't get EVE..... I too am excited about trading playability for more lag and shiny pictures.....:( Petition for a Minimum bounty of 10 mil. Prevent useless bounties!
Kult Altol Confederation Navy Research Epsilon Fleet 601	Posted - 2013.07.14 20:23:00 - [8] - Quote Meh, perhaps a compact fitting window should be available. Can't wait untill when Eve online is Freemium. WiS only 10$, SP booster for one month 15$, DPS Boost 2$, EHP Boost 2$ Real money trading hub! Cosmeitic ship skins 15$ --> If you don't pay for a product, you ARE the product.
Ovv Topik Tribal Liberation Force Minmatar Republic 445	Posted - 2013.07.14 20:47:00 - [9] - Quote I'm at 1920x1080 and agree it could be smaller. It causes a lot of needless clicking to prioritize overlapping windows. "Jita 4 4 spaceport. You will not find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious!"
Miilla Hulkageddon Orphanage 621	Posted - 2013.07.14 20:48:00 - [10] - Quote I think it should be much much bigger, at least 8 times it's size, so I can find it on my 10 x 10 multi cinema screen setup.

Jasmine Assasin State War Academy Caldari State 9	Posted - 2013.07.14 20:48:00 - [11] - Quote I wouldn't complain if they made it resizable but it's not something I'm going to complain about either.
Miilla Hulkageddon Orphanage 621	Posted - 2013.07.14 20:50:00 - [12] - Quote I just checked on my blows dust off PC, yup definately too big for 620 x 480. Be grateful your fittings work, mine doesn't work at all.

Also add powergrid/CPU and cap info. And probably some other stuff I am forgetting about.
Hessian Arcturus S.W.O.R.D. Navy 280	Posted - 2013.07.14 20:52:00 - [14] - Quote People really will winge about anything won't they... It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

Rek Seven Probe Patrol 833	Posted - 2013.07.14 21:34:00 - [17] - Quote agreed. there should be an alternative scaled down version Putting work in since 2010.

What kind of alien technology are you using?, 640x480 was standard human resolution. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Frostys Virpio Lame Corp Name 563	Posted - 2013.07.14 22:53:00 - [22] - Quote More screens solve all problem. No need to use the in-game browser for your ****. Wait thats not the problem?

I'm at 1080p too. Certain sections certainly should not be smaller - as I find most UI elements in the game to be too small - however there is plenty of wasted space beyond that. For instance the whole center section which shows how modules look when fitted onto your ship. It's a nice touch but takes far too much space. The way in which the slots are positioned in a circle; again, not an ideal use of space either. I believe all this information could be reduced to an area roughly half to two-thirds the size of the current window without losing any functionality. To the rest: The above quote from Ace is a perfect example of how to properly disagree with someone's suggestion. So I ask most others who have disagreed: trolling or didn't read the OP? You do yourselves no favors by making yourselves appear so closed-minded. "Buy a bigger monitor", "close windows".... lmao, this is why so many things in this game stay unfixed or don't get discussed fully.
Rich Uncle PennyBags EVE Online Monopoly 10	Posted - 2013.07.15 08:25:00 - [26] - Quote An option to turn off the ship preview would be nice. Not exactly an essential part of the system.

Schmata Bastanold Keep It Burning Stupid 880	Posted - 2013.07.15 10:32:00 - [29] - Quote Size of that window is not a problem shame that functionality is far from what we get from 3rd party tools. But of course "they talk, they have ideas, nothing is currently done" as usual. I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold

True for every single window in the game so get over it.
