The new fitting screen is a major step away from usability.
Nothing is where you'd think it should be and the information you want (how much cpu left frex) has been removed and replaced with some bars that move around.
They'd have been much better off just adjusting the current screen to have the new details that they wanted to add.
And and as somebody else already mentioned, no more 'high, mid, low' slots. It's left, right and top....

- Save/Load Fittings - makes everything easier
Doesn't need a complete redo that makes the UI harder to use.

Item Browser - needs some upgrades but after all you don't need to have open tons of different windows anymore you can basically do everything within the fitting window itself
I don't have any extra windows open when I'm fitting as it is. This actually makes it so that I DO need to open another window as it currently covers the "merged hanger" so I have to unmerge it.
Quote:
Easier Handling - Once you get used to it you'll be much faster in fitting/refitting your ships due the nice littel fitt/unfitt buttons
That's a spurous arguement. And is not an advantage. The current interface is perfectly intuitive and easy to use. Why make all of your users relearn how to do something? You must have been involved with the design of Vista.
Quote:
Tank Abilities - Displays your passive shield regen, active shield boost / armor rep amount
Easy to add to the current interface.
Quote:
Design/Estetics - looks cool instead of "overstuffed" like the old one. Displays the same amount of information (if you know where to look) as the old one but feels more like a game ui instead of an excel spread sheet
This is your worst point. "looks cool" is not a reason to screw up a functional UI.

satisfied? guess not but was worth a try.
No.

What about this design:
fitting1.jpg
(Yes, it's drawn without skill, incomplete, and out of proportion---but the idea should be clear.)
Far to user-friendly
This would never work. It is far too intuitive and logically laid out. CCP would never agree to use something like that.

Please keep the awesome feedback coming! I'm compiling lists of issues and features from the forums, so if you have concerns about the fitting screen, don't hesitate to let me know. The goal is to get an improved fitting screen that (almost) everyone is happy with!
Ditch the new one, keep the old one and just add the 5 slots that you need for a t3 ship.
Eye candy just gets in the way of fitting the ship and getting back into space.
