Absolutely not!
I dont want another WOW like "if you dont have that UI mod you cant join in that and that"
I dont want UI mods which simplify the gameplay so much they border on exploits.
More customization? yes!
Moddable UI? No way!

This is one of my bigger gripes as well. Computers were invented so we wouldn't have to do the same small steps over and over, and in this case, mousing is one of them.
For those worried about botting - it would be no harder to write a program/script that calls the OS's sendInput() functions than would be to have it use a hotkey. ( See HERE ) There's no reason to inconvenience all the players to just add one or two more steps to the rare loser's bot.
I don't see any reason to not allow the whole thing to be modifiable, as in Wow and others, (EQ?). If you like the default interface, keep it! If you don't you can change it! I don't see anything wrong with that. You're paying $$ to play the game, then you should be able to customize it the way you want.
I'm not saying CCP should drop everything and get right on it, but arguing against it seems Luddite.
In any case... my .02

I'd be happy if I just got back the wine-red colour from Red Moon Rising. Armygreen and that brownish color was dull already from the start but my eyes start to hurt now.
Should be simple enough to just add a button to click 'set colour'.
If anything, this thread shows that CCP don't play this game themselves. It's impossible to play EVE for more than a few hours without feeling like vomiting, which is quite sad considering the game is good. Just looks like something you'd find next to your friend that sleeps on your bathroom floor sunday morning.

A UI like wow's would open us right up for hacking and botting, have you guys actually seen what some people can make wow do even thought they are only UI mods?
show all sorts of info you're not supposed to know and in a game like EVE that would kill it.
We need customisable UIs as much as we need a /dance command.

They don't have to allow in-game scripting, but changing the look and placement of everything would be fine. I don't need a decursive mod for Eve, but their UI is so terrible something drastic must be done, and if that is making it fully modable, than that is what must be done.

lol?
what exploits lol?
Just asking to have a little bit more freedom in arraning the UI, and some hotkeys, I don't see how you would consider that a border line exploit.
And join what? giving a bit more customization wont prevent you from anything, so yeah dunno what you're on about, maybe if you care to explain a bit more, I would.
anyhoo

There were UI mods which autotargeted someone who was poisoned if you are a healer for example. Or it auto cancelled your heal if another healer casted faster than you.
At some point it went as far as " If you dont have that UI mod dont even think ybout joining in that Op because the mod does everything faster and better than you"

wow thats lame....
haha ok I can see why that type of system would be unfair to those who had not used the mod.
Seems to me though that that is a 3rd party mod not a setting you can adjust to your preferences though correct?
I wouldnt want the same thing for eve tbh, no third party jank.
just a way to customize it especially positioning and some hotkeys.
All through CCP so it's fair all around.

while i personally quite like the interface and as far as upgrades go would settle for the ability to hotkey everything, that doesn't mean everyone else is ok witht he UI, and so i'd agree on the overhaul.

You can change the color already.

I would be happy if I could move the drone, gang/fleet UI off the bottom of the overview, that and be able to move my targets. Don't need anything else really.

IF anyone has used Adobe Photoshop you can drag all there boxs off to a second screen out side of the main window.
Now if I could do that with EVE and drag them off the main screen then that would be great.
And yes moving the drones and the group stuff off the overview would be the first thing I would do

If he's not gonna say it, I will. CCP should drop everything and remake the UI from scratch, and make it modern. If it can be done in game with a right click, we should be able to assign a single hotkey to that action. We should be able to cycle targets with a single key press. We should be able to cycle mouse focus (clicking on an object in space) with a single key press, and that hot key should be configurable to cycle through a specified range of objects (ships, containers, roids (even specific roids), stations, planets and gates, with shift/alt functionality to use different assigned filters) There should be a hotkey for deploying drones (and deploying specific drone groups) along with all other drone commands. Hotkeys should also be able to be assigned to specific ships, so switching ships automatically remaps your hot keys to whatever it is you have configured for that ship.
The display of information in game should also be customizable. We should be able to decide where information we already have access to is displayed and in what manner. If I want the transversal velocity of the ships I have targeted to be displayed permanently in or around their target icon box, I should be able to.(would it be too much to ask to have this number also color coded for ranges I choose with green as optimal and red as wasting ammunition?) Clicking on a drone in the overview should show me its speed, its target along with the order it is obeyinglol. I should be able to move the box that displays the damage my guns are doing anywhere on screen and make it persistent with a scrolling chat box if I wanted to. I also think it would be nice if the target icon box also displayed the current DPS over the last 5, 10, or 15 seconds I am applying to it.
I'm already told if I'm being targeted with a yellow square around the ship, and a red square when I've been fired upon or aggressed in some manner. Why can't the UI also tell me as easily and simply enough when that ship is webbing, scramming, or jamming me as well?
But most importantly, we need a hotkey that makes your ship do a barrel roll.

I agree completely. There's no reason to be delicate about the game not taking advantage of an extremely powerful feature implemented by more competitive mmog's. The fact that eve's ui isn't customisable is a failing of the game, not a feature.

It's an aileron roll.  But yes. Improved readability of exactly what we're getting hit/affected by (am I being warp scrambled or NOSed?) and what we're doing in return (a nice translucent pop-up damage log would be nice) would definitely make me happier. I don't need scripting, I just want the ability to put what information I want where I want it and be able to filter it down however I like without a half-dozen clunky separate windows.

Been asking for years.
I want to relocate the navigation information from the upper left corner to somewhere more comy, not having to twist me neck up n left every god damn time I need something from there.
