ran one mission ... and logged disgusted

I absolutely hate the look of the new Caldari Ships, they don't even look finished. like texture and color is missing, esp the Navy ships. they removed the blue/gray digital camo, and made them flat 2 toned, spotty, rusty pieces of space trash. and the other variants with the new scratched up white stripes on them look horrendous. Its a step in the wrong direction artistically with the coloration etc, as well as technically with the texturing and washed out look. I loved the old ones, thought they looked amazing, I was all excited, logged in today, ran one mission in my navy drake and logged disgusted. can't say enough bad things about it! and that's pretty much the consensus in my corp and group of friends who play.

I'm also getting a lot more lag than i'm used to. I do like the cleaner simpler UI though... as well as all the new content (ships, wormhole systems, etc.)

I really like the update but:
Is there a chance to have a option to go back to the old UI - the generic, soulless Rhea icons on the left are horrible.
Pictorial UI ones were 100 times better and oryginal.
Please CCP let us choose between both.

I had seen them on sisi and when someone said something about them I had suggested that they were simply not textured yet. Seems I was wrong about that.

The fade up/down effects on windows IS visually annoying, particularly when working with market orders, as others have stated.

At the very least, please add a button to allow us to turn it off.

Thank you.

Ok, the new PBR is officially worse than the last time you messed with the ship colours.

The Gallente ships look like those god awful glass christmas tree ornaments you see in tat shops where everything's a little too shiny and a little too smooth to be in any way pleasing, and what exactly happened to the paint job on the Ishtar? It went from awesome graduated green/black to, well, yeah...

The rest of the ships now look like plastic kids toys.

I thought the whole point of these quicker release schedules was so that features that weren't ready didn't need to be rushed out in broken state and patched later?

Also, with the new UI, i've managed to get it back to the non-intrusive black that it always was, and i've managed to get rid of the blur that was stopping me actually see anything through the 'transparent' windows, but why is it now impossible to have some windows transparent and some opaque?

I'm sure the technology you've implemented these changes with is a step forward, but what you've rolled out as far as the UI and ship appearance stuff is just nasty =(

Also please, give us the ability to create a custom theme with us able to pick the colors ourselves ! :)

I'd say its hardly questionable when there's 7 pages of people complaining

Feedback is better than any study that says otherwise

CCP should give us option to use old icons style if we dont like new ones. Simple.

please give us back color sliders for the ui, these new color sets are nifty but all of them are grey, drab and 2edgy4me. I liked bright colorful UI like this http://puu.sh/dl5pG/e40df518b8.jpg

Certainly looks very modern, that new UI.

"Modern" as in "low contrast, hard to distinguish if your pattern recognition isn't good"...
Can someone enlighten me if it's really helpful to someone that is colorblind if all colors are very close together?

Seriously, keep the icons if you have to, but throw in some more contrast - I'm using the Gallente color scheme (seems to be clostest to the previous Military Green) and in some windows the text is light green on dark green. Or light green on darker green when focus is lost.
How is that good UI design?

The "this skill enables" info is hard to distinguish - I actually had to click on the various levels to make sure they're not enabled, because I wasn't sure if the one highlighted square is highlighted because I clicked on it, or because it's the level that enables stuff.

Also, as others said, lose that annoying highlight to signal focus. Or at least make it instantly instead of that fading.
If I don't select a window, it shouldn't be highlighted. It seems the chat window is highlighted by default if I close another window. (maybe because it's the only other open window?)
