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?

Well if you want to talk about size don't look down.. You'll only be embarrassed! |

In terms of inventory and fitting, one window 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. On a 1920x1080 monitor it's fine. 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). 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.
You people paying attention out there? Ace is being held up as a perfect example of how to properly disagree with someone else's point of view without being an ass.
I agree. The OP wanted to discuss a subject he perceived as an issue that needed discussion. Some gave good answers while others just showed their asses.....
Look at who I'm trying to convince to be more civil in their discourse..... I'm wasting my time here....

Personally i don't see the issue. It's not like i have to fit my ship while under fire, or while using loads of other windows at the same time (and i have to fit ships at a POS). It's something that i focus on until its done, and then click, the window is gone again.

Bump. The window is waaaay too big!
They need to remove the middle section that shows your ship, or at least give you the option to close it. Get rid of having the modules circle around, just put them in rows and columns like normal organization would dictate.
The fitting window describes the exact issues with this game nowadays: Simple, fundamental things going unfixed while CCP puts their energy towards non-sense.

Mr Kidd wrote: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.
No.
This is a poor idea for a multitude of reasons.
There's information in the fitting window that you can't exactly get elsewhere.
You also seem to be discounting the fact that you can move module buttons around in order to map them to different function keys. For example, you can have your guns on F1, scram on F2, MWD on F3, DC2 on Alt+F1, etc. So they don't actually correspond with their physical locations on the racks.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem except the location of modules on a rack does matter, since that determines the spread of heat when overloading modules.

ESC --> General Settings, check the option to integrate the inventory and ship hangar windows into the station services window. Saves a ton of room and should help alleviate your issue. |

General UI principle: If there is space in the window that is not a control you can use to provide input, or providing you with information, it is a waste of space. |

Here is a photo of the current fitting window: http://i.imgur.com/YskJXND.png>> Here is a photo of my proposed fitting window:>> http://i.imgur.com/UsP3jKH.pngSo we get the same information just in a smaller area, + shows the drones =) Right now the fitting window takes up more than half the screen in horizontal and vertical directions. That is too big, even at 1920x1080, but especially at the lower resolutions.
I play EVE in5670 x 1080 so it doesnt bother me at all

True for every single window in the game so get over it.
EVE's UI sucks and has always sucked so stop pointing out that it sucks.

Bumping this up again.
This proposed idea, while small, makes too much sense to ignore.
I'd add: Add a menu that drops down (or to the side) showing the ship with the background and all that. As Im sure CCP dont want to give up on that. |

CCP ought to just overlay the fitting window over your actual ship, removing the need for a window. I mean like 3D menus similar to the ones in captains quarters. I dunno. Just an idea.

I agree that a smaller window, or the ability to shrink it a bit would be nice. But its not exactly a priority.

I would like to see a complete redesign of the fitting window, like a holographic projectory that forms around your ship instead of a separate window. |

Quote:The fitting window is simply too big - Agree or disagree?
Disagree. While it can be a task to fit the windows in the same screen, it's still a fairly simple system with a nice looking window. That said, trimming it down a little won't exactly hurt that effect  |

"Too big" and "i'd design it smaller" are two separate questions.
It works ok.. it does take up a lot of space when i move it from my wide monitor to my 1600x 1200 monitor.
I'd rather they work on other things.
If there were starting fresh.. yeah, i think people could give them a few suggestions as they would give themselves some suggestions about it too.
