Hi,
I decided to give ideas on GUI/UI. CCP made the Need for Speed ? I'll speak about the "Need for Ease" initiative :). I think this game need a few improvement in usability.
I'll try to give an idea per one or two days. Some will be small ideas like this one, other would be rather large.
OK, so let's start with this input !
How about giving the full date, the day of the week and the estimated hour based on the local OS time in the character sheet ? Under the portrait, for exemple. you would see a line saying "This character will finish to train his skill friday the 11th of december 2009 at 03:06".

Improved ease of use is certainly something that CCP ought to start taking an interest in.
However, as for your immediate needs, have you looked at EVE Dashboard? It's an application for Windows, that lets you keep track of your currently training skill out-of-game. It's by far my favourite EVE application, and has saved me a lot of frustration, and also spared CCP a lot of logins where I'd otherwise have logged into their game for the sole purpose of checking that I did have a long skill set.

SO does EVEMON... so what? It would still be nice if when I choose a skill, I have a more clear estimation of when I should be around. And I would like to see that not only when I actually choose the skill, but rather when I check how long would it take me to skill.
I.e. If a skill should take me 50 hours, then let it also state that it would be at (if I'm in thursday...) saturday, at 11:30 (my local time is 9:30 atm).

I wouldn't mix evetime and local time elements. That may confuse ppl.

evemon does the job
EveMON or other tools (I use the igoogle gadget) does the job very well. The thing is they break my immersion. Got to do alt tab, check the date, get back in the game.
The tools are really great when you're not in the game, it's a shame the game does not make this simple computation for a CPU...
My creed is the less you have to use og tools, the better.

An Eve time/date would be nice for skill completion, perhaps in the bottom right corner of the display. Would save bandwidth reading loadouts and such. Or a countdown display would be nice basically, that's true. This idea of involving local system time is rubbish though. This small clock would save me in-game clicks when I can just look bottom right and go "oh there we go, 1 more hour". Not a bad idea.

I like the idea of having the summary of when your current skill training will be finished, but I'd be just as happy if it gave me the info in Eve time.
