I also like the idea of full body images for selection, the current look is one of character or "ID" cards, which isn't a bad idea, but its screen-center, on top of whatever expansion artwork or animations are planned.
For character "ID cards", consider stacking them on top of each other, right or left side of screen, with some transparency, or hide text data and roll it out on mouse-over, so you can maximize the screen area for expansion artwork or animations.
For the full-body portraits idea, its not necessary to do them in 3-D, they could be pre-rendered and displayed in character selection as 2D images. With a small amount of zoom-in; display "ID card" info, as we mouse-over, or select, each character.
Alternately, the "choose your bloodline" fully animated selection UI in character creation - is awesome, consider borrowing some of that code :) |

And yet, all we do here is selecting a character - its not a huge part of the game in any way. Nothing fancy or elaborate is really needed, a list view could've sufficed for me :p |

I can't say I am fond of the trading card look that it has. It is not to have a theme page back even if it is red. It is kind of campy more animated looking and the enter eve button does not quite match the flow of the rest of it. It is striking but I liked the news (if it was updated) and such. Tilde soaked words from something kinda like a pirate. |

I kind of imagined full-body avatar char selection with active-ship background flyby of the active ship like ISIS; before I was on Sisi.
That said, in a 2D setting, what I've seen of Sisi also works. Like it. |

It seems to go a lot quicker than before, though it would be nice if theres a bit of animations going around, not just a dead inanimate screen.
I know its much of a WIP still so I don't know if this was the plan or not. |

Definitely needs music (probably on the way since this is WIP) I always look forward to hearing what the new soundtrack is for login page of an expansion.
Also hopefully this is more than a front-end pretty-up job. Hoping for switching characters without exiting game? Go beyond the edge of space... Explore |

Its ok. I was hoping for something a bit more showy and animated.
something like this My mockup
The elements (which would all be animated) would be for you default (favorite? last used) character. And would be the following. Current system background Nearest celestial (planet) Current location (station or ship) Your avatar
Then you could have your other elements over the top (current ISK, Skills, other character).
I can post on a forum, therefore I represent everyone. |

Yup.
Of course what would be awesome for multiboxers would be the ability to merge all our accounts, then have a character selection screen where we assign characters to log-in slots, then launch all the game clients at once. That character selection screen would be worthy of an animated background with theme music.

A couple suggestions.
The layout is different and this will affect returnees and such.
First - add some mouse-over info on the various portions of the displayed details. ("undocked", isk symbol, etc.) Second - add a customization section to the initial options (esc menu); IMO - general tab or a new one. or a right-click menu.
Allow people to specify their own color tones and such - nothing hyper fancy, a fairly simple drop-down menu to pick colors - maybe put in an option on what is seen (animated image or not, full body or not)...
Some folks have issues with different color pallets so let them decide what they would like to see and it should resolve any "would like to see more of my char" and "not too much!" concerns. Let it default to as you have it but let them adjust it a bit as they see fit. |

The character information pane has info about current skill in training (for each character), skill queue duration, current ISK, unread mail and notifications, the current ship the capsuleer is aboard, and the current location.
Too much customisation could be a bad thing. We've had CCP setting the tone of the login and character selection pages for 10 years, why change now?

OK, just logged onto SiSi and these are my thoughts:
1) Great you didn't put a mirror on...was testing Marauders so \O/ thank you
2) The Char Selection Screen looks pretty sweet. My only gripe so far is that the Chars are in alphabetical order. What about putting them in Skill Point order? This would put my main on the Left and I'd know it was my Main. Now this isn't really an issue for me after having the same Char for so many years but for the other guys out there Left - Right is how we read and is just logical.
3) Keeping the focus on last logged in Char is great. Love that idea.
I'm looking forward to see the changes that are yet to come with this screen.

EDIT: Bring back Aura so say something like "Entering environment Capsuleer" or even better "Welcome back Maximus". That wouldn't be too hard would it and would get us right in the mood.

Hello Devs,
Is there any way you can place a countdown timer that shows how long you have until dual character training expires? Right now there is no way to check besides writing down the date you activated dual character training on a post-it note. It's a super anoying problem that you can solve on the cool new character screen, we have been talking about this issue in the feature/ideas section here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=258088&find=unread

That was an idea, and we have been iterating on it a lot - but the actress who performed it, doesn't work as a voice actress anymore (so I'm told), she moved to the US and some other things. So it would have to be for a few days for sure, but to make it all fit together, it would most likely require that all the voices were re-done and not just anything new.
But yea, that could work - it's not up to me, but we will most likely discuss it again.

That too, anything out of the ordinary would sound terrible - and EVE players tend to have out of the ordinary names as well as combinations that would be impossible to mix without it sounding like two separate recordings. It could (COULD!) be done with synthesis, but again, anything out of the ordinary would sound terrible and if it didn't sound terrible, that synthesis algorithm for voicing would be worth quite a lot of money.

You could put out a contest, of sorts, amongst the player base for your voice acting needs. Describe how the NPC needing a voice actor and take submissions form the players, chose the best 10~20 or so and take a vote amongst the rest of the players for the best voice for the NPC. Once a winner has been chosen you could send the dialog for voice acting and then iteration. Of course this would take a while but I'm sure there are many who would like it.
