I couldn't find the speedometer on it.
It looks cool but it also looks more irritating, as I'm not really sure what parts of it are supposed to be clickable. The buttons were much less obvious.

I think the speed is @ 0430 o'clock and shows 230m/s in the linked image... if I read the blurry image correctly :D
I do wonder how one would go about setting speed though... |

Wrong. Anything they attempt to make worse is always hit with people asking why they make it worse. It has nothing to do with change GÇö only with reducing functionality.
Ok, maybe they're not trying to do that, specifically, but it is what they're doing.

I actually like that. I also like how people are judging the effectiveness of a user interface based on a static image, because that totally makes sense. The current interface doesn't exactly look user friendly either if you just look at it for a second. we're all just used to it. |

Some elements I like, some not so much. I like the images for the locked targets and the color I assume indicating standing towards individual targets. The selected item window being turned into an informational popup of the object is nice as well. As a personal preference note I'm not to big a fan of the capacitor display anyways so I have no qualms about it changing. OH seems more clearly visually defined as well, but the heat gauges and buttons could use some work IMHO.
All that said, I'm a bit put off by some of the parts with no background like the chat as I often lose viability if something bright like a gas cloud is there. It seems to be taken care of for the ship hud, but relocated to chat. Not a fan of that. I'm also having an issue determining anything regarding the Manticorax's HP. The HUD also seems to waste some considerable space. |

There's little broken with the current UI style IMO. Some of the functionality could be improved, the production UI (the second, not the first, lol) was very interesting, but the design is fine. Minimalistic and to the point. Not the flashy flashy stuff like they presented at EVE Vegas.

What the current interface does that the mockup does not is offer clarity. It has opacity that makes it stand out against the background; it also has transparency so negative space doesn't block anything, and has minimal non-functional bloat; it makes consistent use of pre-existing iconography, making elements easy to identify at a glance; it offers higher precision in the read-outs on top of greater contrast in both text and graphical elements, making them easier to identify and read at a glance too; it does not use bloat to present redundant and near-irrelevant information. The mock-up fails on all these rather crucial points and it offers nothing in return. It just looks pretty when used in a highly unrealistic set-up.
So yes, it makes quite a lot of sense to judge it from a static image because that still trivially highlights these issues.

I wish I would have screenshot it to give an accurate quote. But when CCP Arrow was up giving the UI presentation and showed that possible interface, people on the livestream were all "ooooh" and "ahhh" and "want!!!!".. then CCP Karkur said something to the effect of, "If you guys want stuff like that, stop throwing a fit every time we change something." As if to reinforce her comment, she some how got a person in the crowd in Las Vegas (while she was home in iceland knitting) to get up to the microphone and ***** about the undock button moving. It was probably the funniest moment of the livestream, at least for me.

The notion that anyone could possibly be 100% against a GUI when they have no idea what options are available (such as transparency, etc) is just mind boggling.
It is a static image.
You can't possibly be totally "for" or "against" a static image of a GUI. You have no clue what settings would be available, nor what customization exists or is planned.

That image is clearly just designers' (who don't seem too experienced with the game...) prototype, not a final version.
They will give it for review to someone who has better understanding of the game and all the bloat (cpu, some ship images) will be removed.

The only argument "for" adopting that seems to just be "I feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie!  ".
Why not look at the actual usability and quality of the design? I took the liberty of marking up the bad, good, and ugly of what I see. Certain changes ("CPU" display, bad targeting icons, difficult to parse shield/armor/struct) makes me think that whoever designed this has never actually played Eve extensively, or at least has no clue which UI elements/features are important and used regularly.
Overall, I'm all for "shiny" and "ooh pretty sci-fi" rather than boring spreadsheets in space. However, there is a huge gap between that and a un-compact, inefficient (duplicate info), and incomprehensible UI. This mockup trends more towards the latter in trying to achieve the former.
tl;dr: No. Try again with a better UI.
Ed: "But this is just a mockup, you have to ~imagine~ what the real one would look like" is not an argument. Your imagination cannot be objectively marked up and receive feedback.

You can't possibly be totally "for" or "against" a static image of a GUI. You have no clue what settings would be available, nor what customization exists or is planned.
Emitting false rage is not a forum sport.
and there is no statement or explanation fo what features WILL eb available.
so if it is judged, it will be judged by what is THERE, make sense?
also, if NO ONE complained about ANYTHING, then this "first proto" would eb the FINAL proto, and a UI with NO options or functionality WOULD be introduced, upon much griping, complaining, and unsubbing would ensue.
we SAVE CCP dev hours by complaining, because if we didnt complain, they woudlnt know what to do anymore |

Desperately needs transparency. I like the removal of the left hand side bar though. As for the corax/manticore/artillery thing, it looks like this is supposed to be a design mockup, not an ingame screen shot. I mean he's autopiloting on grid with hostile players. The selected item view is cool, but I'm worried that its going to be too big for smaller monitors. This view doesn't seem to account for how much information the overview needs to give.
I hate to disagree with you,-ábut there is nothing subjective about "boring" in connection to "mining".

Not impressed by it.
That said I wouldn't mind if they implemented modding support for the UI, LUA perhaps.
My biggest gripe is the lack of several hotkeys. And I'd definitely like a smoother drone interface. But I guess the lack of certain hotkeys is to make it harder on botters, just annoying that I have to suffer because of it.

Oh dear Eris please just kill this before it happens.
Can we just get a solid, clear and functional UI without fnuh and illuminated fnord useless bling.
First you make things work, then you add bling, but only as long as it doesn't interfere with functionality.

Those that actually gave a reason I'm not speaking too.. but your trolling is just boring and repetitive..
Game interfacing and input design.
This might help you understand why most people are against what they saw with that UI.
[Minimalism] is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture wherein the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. |

So, wait a second, people are asking for reactivation time indication, sorting of characters in chat lists, and the like... And are given this instead?

That mockup is not an intended final product. They already said that when presenting it. That's why it is called a mockup. It isn't even close to a functional product.
It wasn't even created by someone who develops the UI. It was created by someone in the art department when asked to make some mockups for visual styles.
It was created to show how the 'blue transparent' style might look in a finished product. It was created to show color and shape schemes, to show how a certain visual style might look when the entire UI is using it. There are more images like that with different color and shape schemes. Within the same set of slides, CCP also showed different early mockups of the radial menu using different shapes for the buttons.
It is NOT designed to show the end result layout. It is NOT designed to show the end result functionality. It is ONLY designed to show the end result visual scheme.
Nothing in that picture (except the radial menu) has gone through the rigorous design, testing, and Q/A phases necessary for something to hit TQ.
The entire purpose of that image along with its siblings was for CCP to decide which visual style they liked best and in which direction to take the general aesthetics of EVE's user interface. This is the one they decided on, and so future developments of the UI will resemble this image in style.
TL;DR
Both the haters and the lovers are correct. You'll get something that looks like this, but you won't get something that's as confusing and impractical as this.
... well, we can hope.
