Hi all,
I was just wondering if CCP are planning to drastically change the User Interface in this game anytime in the near future?
I get really frustrated with the the UI and everyday i spot something that could be improved. So if i, a lowly player can spot this, there must be a highlight skilled developer at CCP working on UI improvements as we speak... Right? |

Well, they did a lot of work a while back to make the customisation of the EVE UI easier - the "carboned" it. There was chatter of a new UI being worked on and those who were at Fanfest this year got a wee glimpse of that.
But nothing has been said in months about it. It'd be nice if a major overhaul was on the cards in the next year or so :) I have a specific comb for my beard. |

Well lets hope their UI designer pulls his finger out because because i'm tired of it.

one of the devs replied to a question about the "windows" looking ui a while ago, wasn't the "direction they wanted to go in"... |

Look at responses on DEV blog about it... too many "bitter wets" were against it... it was ruining "their game"... so CCP killed it... |

Actually technically you are both right.
Although "CCP is a company" is technically and literally correct, the term "CCP are a company" is also valid, a company is a collective of employees and thus can be referred to in the plural. |

Oh and by the way, the word "are" is not just a plural, it can be both plural and singular depending on the context and wording ....
Are - present indicative plural and 2nd person singular of be. |

Yeah the new text is cool but i was referring to everything the user has to interact with to control their actions. For example, window scaling, overview customization, drag and drop features, drop down menus, audio notifications etc.

I hope you guys are joking. They should get back to work on it. Many people absolutely raged on the new micro transactions and they didn't care and that interface was optional from the menu anyway.......

The UI is probably the ugliest part of EvE, a new one will make it look a really much better game. Now that they're upgrading the visual part of the game (nebulae, new models, V3), I hope that they're also working on a new UI. |

Yeah the actual environment looks amazing in places, it's just the UI that's terrible.
Not to turn this into a feedback and suggestions post but i like the idea of being able to spread eve across 2 client windows. One would be the main client as existing and the other would be the support client that you could move things to, like your chat windows, ship fittings window (advanced version), D-scan panel etc. |

find that DEV blog thread and look at responses yourself... you will see...
and about UI... i hope for years that CCP do something about it... in trailers UI is nice... and when you look at game you see its all the lie... it looks terrible... |

the god damn neo neocom was kick ass, they allready redid the ui and took it back due to 19 forum posters.
Seriously, I counted. a 3 page feedback thread. with mostly negative misinformed comments. 19 people posting over and over again got a feature pulled. : (
Sometime sI dream the neo neocom is back in the game, and I can finally save my bottom screen space from pointless tabs. |

It really could use a makeover, it just feels a tad cluttered, for some people like myself stuck on a laptop that looks distinctly Matari in nature (I'm not kidding, duct-tape, super-glue and I stuck more fans on it) While UI scaling is FANTASTIC (I can't stress this enough) more thoughts on the matter:
Overview. essential and you can design it to read out the stats that matter to you. If I was going to gripe, I'd like the ewar icons to be bigger.
Shield/Armour/Structure/Cap + Speed readout. essential. There is a ton of info in a small amount of space there, I guess it could be reduced if the cap became a bar instead of a circle but I like it.
Modules. essential, needs to be in a easy to access place, but could be improved, with overheating is a pain, and I've lost count of the amount of times I've accidentally overheated. It can be locked but I do a lot of lowsec work, and overheating has saved me countless times. Personally I'd like to see overheat being activated by shift + right clicking the module instead of the tiny green bar above the module.
Locked targets. Again functional but could be made a lot better, having instead of a line of boxes with pictures, instead having the Shield/Armour and Structure as a % number around the moving target itself. Though I also suspect that would annoy the pants off some people, It would look fantastic.
Neocom. A small bar along the side with everything you need, but I'd like it to go one step further with the option to have it completely hidden and pulled up with a hot key on demand.
I think that covers the major aspects, of course there are a ton of little things, but I don't have all day. |
