Why do Omega state characters still see all the restrictions, yellow outlines, yellow skill levels, all that stuff? As someone who is subscribed all year round this is highly annoying. As an Omega character I have no business seeing all that stuff and it just gets in the way.
I've been pretty vocal against having a toggle button for everything in EVE, but in this case I think it's fairly justified. Can we at least get a toggle button so Omega characters can choose if they want to see the visual restrictions in the UI? Or better yet, just remove it completely for Omega characters.

Given the track record for the people working on the Character Sheet window for the past few months I don't think we can expect any major changes between now and November. The vertical text is staying in, I can guarantee it. Because here's what happened in a nutshell.
In April I attended Fanfest in Iceland, including a round table presentation that briefly featured the new character sheet as a mock up. It wasn't in-game yet, it was just a photoshop image of what it was supposed to look like. That mock-up picture looks almost identical to what is on SISI right now. There were obviously a couple of people who gave feedback on the UI, among which was at least one person who commented on the vertical text being absolutely horrible.
So to sum it up;
- Team Psycho Sisters has gotten feedback on this new UI design as early as April.
- They were told the vertical text should go back in April.
- Not a single piece of feedback was used or accepted between April and now, despite multiple people speaking out on Fanfest, multiple threads being opened on the forums and multiple threads running on Reddit when the first pictures leaked.
So I feel the following reminder is in order:
To all members of Team Psycho Sisters: Whoever is in charge of the UI design is having a serious case of tunnel vision and is pushing their vision of the perfect UI design through regardless of mountains of negative responses around them. As part of the team working on this it is your responsibility to smack this person upside the head and make them listen to the feedback dozens of players are giving you. This person has had 6 entire months to revise the original design, but barely anything changed in those 6 months. Wake up! Make the changes your player base is requesting before November!

As others have said here and on Reddit, the UI is a bit too in your face to upgrade to Omega clones.
I've poked around several MMO's over the years and the ones with F2P access and subs for better access have generally handled it in two ways, the subtle non-intrusive reminder that you can't access something or the bold in your face system.
The in your face system really makes a game feel unfriendly, cash grabby etc.
I'm not really sure how to phrase it better than try to stop posting the Omega Icon everywhere.
Just the Omega icon and the yellow border is a fine way to indicate something is limited to Omega if you ask me. There has to be some way for new players to see the difference or it will just be confusing.

Poked around in SISI some more. I'll wait until the end of the day to see the changes to the skills and such. But I'd like to request two things.
I don't personally like the large (aliased) live avatar at the top of the window. It looks pretty bad with the jagged edges and quite honestly I like my self made picture better. Luckily there's an easy way to collapse it so no major problem there. Unfortunately collapsing the live avatar also collapses some important UI information that can't be found anywhere else.
- Account status (Alpha, Omega), this is pretty important to be able to see at a glance. If the header is collapsed I can't.
- Medical clone location
- Security status
- Name and date of birth
- Race, corporation and alliance
With the header collapsed there is more than enough room to display this information above the character sheet tabs. At the very least display the Alpha/Omega icon left of the username and the medical clone location aligned to the right maybe? But if you could find a way to fit all the information above the tabs when the header is collapsed that would be even better.
Ideally I'd like to suggest that instead of showing or collapsing the header, you can switch between the ugly live avatar and a large version of your character portrait.
I'm too lazy to make a mock-up right now. Maybe later.

We're missing:- - Current total SP invested in a selected skill - What rank the skill is -- screenshot from Sisi-- compared to EveMon EveMon
I gotta agree with this. I've never messed with injectors and extractors before, but started looking into them just tonight. Total amount of SP invested in skill is a really important number that needs to be visible at a glance. It makes calculating stuff for skill extraction much much easier.

Please don't implement this giant waste of space, or if you do, at least give us the option to re-enable the old one. I seriously would not be able to play EVE if I was handicapped by this cumbersome new eyesore.
Guess you need to start looking for a new game to play then.

Even with the horizontal change, the new skill UI is absolutely horrendous. Virtually the entire population of the game is asking for it to not be implemented. Please listen to them. Maybe if we spend a few more weeks staring at it then we will like it.
Stop pulling sh*t out your ass. Plenty of people applaud this much needed UI change. It will take some getting used to and after a week or two you will wonder how you ever lived without. Deal with the change, this game is not going to stay in the early 2000's forever. It's been there way too long already.
