I also feel like some info being given in the window is too vague, like the cost bar, that should be a number instead.

The new UI will be nice to play with, however, it really means nothing for current people involved in industry compared to the content of the blogs that are supposed to follow this week. Can we get an actual timeline on those?

You mention being able to view and filter blueprints by division and containers. This is amazing. But, since other changes are forcing us to place blueprints inside POS arrays, I just want to seek confirmation of one thing: we will be able to view/filter blueprints residing in containers inside POS arrays, correct?

I've noticed that the installations tab no longer has a Public/Corp filter, allowing POS-users to ignore the region-wide station installations that we'll almost never be using.

Will we be able to set installation and destination defaults in any way? For example: for invention, I always use Division 1 as input and Division 2 as output, for manufacturing it's 3 -> 4, for reverse engineering it's 5 -> 6, etc. Under Rubicon's UI, I have to select these Division choices 10 times per character per session. Under the new UI I would only have to select them once per character per session, which is already a huge improvement. But it'd be even nicer if I could just set all Invention jobs to default to Divisions 1->2 once per character, and never have to bother with it again.

Who gets the notification about completed corporate jobs?

Is it possible to disable this notification? (As an inventor, I can go through 100+ jobs a day without too much trouble. And most of those are in a POS (copy slots needed. Might as well use the others too))

The ability to batch copy jobs and invention jobs would be a HUGE step forward and fundamentally fix the click fest problem that copy, invention and manufacturing is today. With what is see here you are putting a pretty band aid on the problem for small scale industrialists. I am not convinced based on what you have showed here is that you have fixed the issues when you do industry on an industrial scale. Think of it this way: How can I make the life easier of someone who builds several product lines of say thousands of identical T2 items (T2 Sentries for example) from scratch via invention a week? Does this really solve the issue?

With the comparison of different installation locations, how much lag can we expect? Currently, it is a major pain in the back to open the market window or Character info window (at least for me), because it causes the game to stutter and freeze until all the data (or whatever it does) is loaded. Can I expect this to be the case in the new Indu window as well?

Will it treat the pos as one big storage?

Then the remote skill is truly a waste now. Before it was used to use a BPO from station in a pos, now that that single thing is taken away it will be impossible to do this currently as you will physically have to be at the pos to deliver or our on build jobs as everything we pretty much do in a CAA requires the size to be much larger. Once you deliver jobs and overfill the array, you have to empty it before you can do everything else, so again, you have to be at the pos, so remote skill is freaking USELESS

Include text labels for all materials, please. Remember how you had to go back on the pretty but nondescript weapon icons? Same goes here. Immediate recognition > pretty graphics.

It isn't being talked about but if you right click on a BPC will the options to perform ME and PE research no longer be available . Along with this the option to invention for BPO probably needs to go away as well.

I have listed 2 examples but there are many many more along these same lines. A Titan doesn't have a bridge to in the right click menu if it doesn't have a jump portal fitted, why can't this be the same?

Thank you.


GǪand just to be annoying and demanding just when you've been forthcoming, when you say spreadsheet shopping lists, could you also brainstorm some ideas to get an Gǣexport to CSVGǥ button in there?

Based on looking at your final product for the manufacturing window:

I'm a little confused by one thing. The sections for all things time related.

In the middle of the screen, you have a start button. And inside that bar, on the far left, you have a "Total Time" of "2D 48:28:10". I'm guessing that the 2 days is there to just give you a quick and dirty guess at how long .... something is going to take. Since it's in the same bar as the start button, it makes me think that the job i'm about to start will take 2 days.

But then confusion sets in.

On the top right, you have "7D 00:00:03" under job duration. 7 days is 168 hours... so now my reality is starting to fall apart.

I want to assume that the 2 days time is for all jobs currently running, but under that we see that you only have 1 job, and it suspiciously starts and stops at the same time on April 7th.

So really, what I want to know is, what do these two times represent, and is there a better way to show the player that?
Or am I completely daft, and I should just quit now?

Will I be able to manufacture from that container in a station given that I am no longer at the root level?
e.g. blueprint and all materials are in a container - can I manufacture directly from that container without tipping it all back into root please?

What about manufacturing using multiple BP at the same time, this would save tons of clicks. When you manufacturing Fuel blocks for example, i use 10BPC, it would be nice to select them all, ricght click, manufacture. ***Fairy dust***

Or maybe if im building a T2 ship for example, you can start the construction jobs needed for all the components from that T2 ship BP. ***Sparkles****

"Less clicks, more magic. " -TR 2014

Thanks.

And here we see WHY we will no longer be able to use BPOs that are safely locked down in corp hanger to research and manufacture at POS.


"The installation gets picked automatically when you select a blueprint. It will select the installation where the blueprint is located and use a default location for inputs."

So make one less click, like "select location", they choose a game breaking short-cut of the BPO has to be at the location... non-lcoked down.

So, we have to create high sec alt corps for protect our BPOs, then produce copies and ship them to null sec.... just becasue CCP didn't what to add a "pick location" to the new UI screen.

ARG!

It would be awful nice not to require 3rd party spread sheets just to determine the production cost of something you're making. It'd make the system much more friendly to casual players

Which is the hallmark of an inefficient design and sub-optimal execution. Why use a computer and programming when you can make a human do a repetitive job?
