So this fitting window is going to be the only option we get?
its functionality is lacking and it renders all options on eve window size defunked apart from full screen. great good ccp, way to make something that works fine a hard and problematic experiance, not to mention what you will do for teh new players, high slot whats that???

You know what ****es me off?
They could have easily used those extra rig slots on the non-messed up panel for subsystem placement.
Bottom line- this is bad, I'm glad you're investing time in trying to improve the game, but this isn't an improvement, drop it, modify the current one and leave it at that, or else someone is going to rebuild EFT version 3.0 such that we can build set ups in EFT and just port them into the game.
And that, sir, is a very bad thing.
i wish someone would do that with EFT 3.0, cos if i have to use that pile of s**t all teh dam time my eye will bleed it hurts them so dam much

Lol man u know better than anyone that Devs doesnt like to make consessions, let's put this scenario:
You devote say 3 months to a new fitting UI and then give ppl the option to choose between the old one and the new one, let's say it's split 50/50 on preferences, now in this scenario u'll be obliged to work double for every future addition u might put on the fitting overview.
Let's put another scenario, how about only 5% of the pilots choose to use the new fittings, that would mean that ur 3 months of hard work would have been wasted.
One interesting possibility now is the addition of more than 8 slots to the fitting overlay, also the posibility of a fifth or even a sixth slot types (counting highs, meds, lows and rigs) for balance issues against the new t3 ships.
i think all this changes and possibilities overweights the downside of having to adapt to a new fitting layout, dont u think?
Not when teh new one hurt my eyes so bad. is pooorly laid out and covers 80% of teh screen size i use. now come to think of how unreadible the text will be when it scales to that size(1074 x 764, 3rd from bottom option).. maybe they just want peopel to play at full screen and will do away with other options? come on get with the times full screen is where its at baby.

It's left to see how well the UI scales to small monitors, i play with a 22" 1650 x 1080 lcd which would make the widescreen oriented fitting panel looks good.
BTW have u seen it in motion?
found this @ utube:

The only critic i have is that i want the ship to some across the ring XD so i'll looks cooler.[/quote
i too play on a 22" monitor, running 3 clients normally, sometimes up to 5 depends on what im doing mostly.
this is what teh old and new fitting screens look like to me. you can easily see why id liek the old one to stay, i think any way.
old and new widows on teh left pannel thingy

any design proposals?
This is the thing, complaining is quite easy, but i think if will be more useful if we could propose solutions instead of complaining of the problems...
Am not defending the Devs, i agree that usability should always overcome aesthetics, but that doesn't mean we should keep stating the obvious so repeatedly.
peace!
amend the old one, there was a design preposed in the game development forum which was an amended revamp of the current one, it fitted all the new features on the same screen and looked liek it had no usibility issues. i understand that teh dev's may have put a lot of work into this and its features. but that will be wasted if its usiblity is low. they could delay the upgrade to this one until it is fully functional under all conditions.
Form over function is never a good idea imho i rather something not look great and work well, than something that looks great but is a pain to use.

at the moment all sorting is done in my hanger, my hanger knows what mod type's they are and nice and neatly lists them in that order. all i have to do as a user is move them 3 inches or so. no drop down menus, no reopening the drop down menues after you swap to another drop down menu. it works nice and simply, thats all i want when i fit a ship, nice and easy. i dont want complex displays, over lapping of texts, having to close all other windows so i can see what everything says.

Just been on sisi again... wow its movible. but is still unclear not straightforward to use. slots are all over shop and still has a problem scaling to smaller windows and screen res... just give us teh option to use teh old one if we want ccp. let teh user decide which one they would like.
i just dont understand why that is such a problem for you CCP Fendahl

CCP Fendahl please can you answer my question with a yes or a no. its a simple question that almost everyone i know in the game actually wants a straight answer too.
can we get teh option to use the old one?
i understand that for t3 we need teh extra slots and all that, but for t2 we dont. i dont need a save button all that much, i just need soemthing easy to read and something thats logical. what you are currently offering us isnt that. so if you leave the old one in, say that you will have to use the new one if you ever get into a t3 ship. no need to upgrade it, no need to change it, just leave it as it is, usible readible and functional
