Confirming that that a part of the changes have been reverted and are possibly pending a later release and the rest of the changes are under discussion with the UI designers and the UI programmers, the outcome of which can't be commented on right now. I am just going to say this about the whole deal - we really need to move away from that to something new... the OV is really laggy and dated imho. I would like to see the critical info on the target on the target lock, not just distance and ID or a rollover on it where it gives me the critical info, or even better - on the tactical - where each bracket would have all that floating in a text cloud next to the moving target. The colomns are rather a pain, and take up alot of screen realestate that honestly just needs to be streamlined down... UI overhaul. *AND*... we need a client FPS clean-up... my FPS is down half in the past two expansions and nothing I do in the past 2 years and 9 Months in this account is different...ugh. It's interesting that we're discussing how many significant digits are displayed in a table when what we need to know is fairly simple with respect to angular velocity. Are my weapons close to tracking this thing? How about the option of % probability of clean hits like the simplified damage notifications already in game. This could be extended to other factors like distance etc. The overview could then be simplified to a list of targets with attributes that are coloured to indicate status, e.g at optimal, tracking ok etc. Surely this could be used to give a more intuitive overview??
I think what we really need is to take the DScan, Overview, locks, and tactical and add in a roll-over or selection lock and turn it in to a thing that runs around... I like your percentage idea very much that would be so much better.
I could see it as a list, just merge overview with the Dscan - why I have two of these to check is beyond me in UI design, it should be one thing... and then it should be active scanning/or manual on demand (settings), and then we should have a lock - when you lock it should give you all info that is needed - percentage hit, dist, ect..
what we need is more a HUD UI then a mass of laggy tables... too much raw data is bad, while I guess people like the idea, I dont't hink we need to get rid of anything, but we should be able to use only one window and one lock to tell what we are doing, not 3 and then a lock, and then an info and then a... gets a bit much...
I think we could get into a lot of things like this... simplification of presentation doesn't mean you have to chop off features, it just needs to be more streamlined, that and should really also cut into client lag, if these are needing constant refresh, the client should be faster and putting the performance on the game... TD was nice, but I would think that we could even slow EVE down by a percentage to reduce lag, do an accross the board clean up and then if needed slow the everything by say a percentage (there is that thing again) and lower server client call returns as well, say a 10%... no like we would notice that all that much.
anyway, I digress...

It's eye-candy.
I'm not necessarily against eye-candy, but this doesn't help at all.
The brain is great at seperating things with lines, but not so much with shades.

Yay! The gradient going over three chars was a bit much. Do it over the scale of one character, that should be sufficent. |

Hi folks.
I made a little screencap of how it looks on the latest build, demonstrating the 3 cases where the text fading remains - when text collides with:
- EWar icons
- Fleet broadcasts
- The little sorting indicator doodad

As you can see, the column lines are there and all that.

Sorry, but I just can-Št see why we have to have this now.
At least keep the fading constricted to the last letter or please make it optional.  |
