Clicky
Says it all, that overview looks better than the one we have now, looks alot tidier (whether it was back in the day, IDK).
Are there going to be changes to the overview in the future as I heard the one we got now does cause abit of the lag we are recieving??
And who would be up for going back to an overview like that?
EDIT - Changed the link

Of course its tidier, it doesnt have any information besides location.

I think it'd be cool if we could choose between this and the classic skin. make the hardcore old players happy. Though this new skin is pretty sleek looking, i've gotten used to the Eve HUD.

That old ui was absolutely HORRIBLE!!!
a.You couldnt look at all your slots at once
b. you couldnt see when you brought your target down to armor or hull
c. There was really no overview
d. Couldnt change colours of it i dont think.
e. no drone management system
f. it was ugly.

the current overview is fine, especially the colouring system for background/icon filtering/selection etc, the old system was responsible for some hefty lag making that a fair reason for change.
I definatly prefer the new system over the old, the very old popup threat indicator was useful in some ways, if we had that now it would be nice to see it show/list people EWaring you in a clearer fasion than we currently have.

maybe bring the indicator in the middle back?? keep the rest, i think it looks more detailed an space like than the new 1, grey against red when your ship is taking damage is really wrong :)
And the fact it has a blue bit for the shields looks cool, dunno they say small things amuse small minds

Yeh, i agree with most of the other posters, the old system was rubbish. not being able to turn on reps and guns in short succession was a killer. and the new one is prettier i feel

The only thing that's really wrong with the current overview is the lack of the nice little thingy in the lower right portion of the screen. If not all then most space games have something like that, why was it removed? Or maybe after a year of playing I still don't know all the options and it is possible to make it appear "somehow"?

That old thing is pure eye candy, no practical use whatsoever. The positional information can be replicated by using the combat overlay.
They are improving the current overview by adding a "ship type" column where it will tell you exactly what ship they are flying in the overview.

The old UI was really not very nice to use. Sure it might look a bit nicer, but if we did go back you'd be *****ing and whining about it sucking so much balls within a week.
It was changed for a reason

It would definitely be useful to know what ewar is currently affecting you. I don't know why this isn't currently implemented (aside from the anonymous countdown bar), considering how important it is! Even if didn't show which target is doing which specific effect, I'd like to know there is (for example) a webifier, two warp scramblers, and a sensor dampener, as opposed to three warp disruptors and a jammer - because that would likely change how I would attempt to escape or counterattack, right?

The current UI is not "fine", it is terrible. The UI needs to be completely redone from scratch.

Ditto....
I would like to add: That FUGLY STUPID "Directional" "scanner" - and I am using a term loosely here - on the lower right was nothing but trouble and no help at ALL, ever. It also caused tremendous client side lag - to the point where it was bringing tears to my eyes.
Oh and the idiotic "warp" button that was too bloody small and too bloody difficult to decipher ON/OF status was a pain too.
Current UI needs work - everyone would agree - but the old UI was just amazingly bad compared to what we have now.
If people only knew how really bad the original overview was, they would never ask those questions.

It's not, it feels like fighting on an Excel sheet and it causes horrendous lag as well.
