I don't know what the general concensus is on the UI, but my personal opinion is that the UI is
1. A Click fest.
2. Hard to easily use on a high resolution screen.
3. Highly unintuative in places.
4. Buggy as hell.
5. A window fest.
6. Slow to navigate.
7. Almost completely uncustomisable.
There are millions of individual examples, too many to name. So anyway, I was wondering who would be prepared to sacrifice an ENTIRE expansion (assuming that would be necessary), to making the UI the exact opposite of the above list. I'm talking a total revamp.
The goal would be:
1. To reduce clickage as much as possible.
2. Make it much easier to navigate through.
3. Make it considerably quicker to navigate through.
4. Make it bug free.
5. Design it in such a way that future expansions can easily be added to the existing UI rather then cobbled on.
6. Allow a sensible degree of customisation.
There are millions of ways this could be done, and CCP you'd do very well to work closely with your player-base on this one. Hire an Expert in UIs - I hear they do exist.
I for one would like to see custom buttons for regular actions. Such as 'Dock Boundless Creation Hek Planet IV,' 'target nearest ship/asteroid', etc.
Oh, and still waiting on that slider for Scanner range. This would add a whole new level of usefulness to the scanner. As I said though, there's millions of ways the UI could be improved. That says to me that it needs to be done from scratch.
Cue polarised views. |

Did not read OP.
The UI covers hundreds of features. Are you stupid? |

Because the work involved would be immense, and because you can't patch onto something when you're starting from scratch. |

Why, because you want another E-Peen Expansion? OK, it won't be for an entire expansion, we'll make a supperwtfipwnyou ship, just to keep you happy. |
