Interesting Eve Screenshots

[Predator Irl]

I was just looking at the official Eve website and came across these pics. Notice the system map in the bottom right, and the different controls layout. Are these future changes or taken out from old:

[eldaec]

That's the old UI.

[Pax]

5 propulsion mods - dead give away 

[lac]

Either that or multiple afterburners are making a comeback

edit: bah, beaten

[sanctuary]

Bloody hell thats from the early days, the UI changed sometime in 2004 from memory. The 3 little buttons underneath the cap were how you changed from high slots, to mids to lows. Fiddly little things

2nd shot from the bottom.

Is that a Mega using 2 lasers, 2 torpedo launchers and 2 blasters/railguns?

He was ready for anything! 

I miss the little radar half bubble thing.

[ajax34i]

Radar half-bubble was kinda crappy.  From certain angles you couldn't tell if you were looking top down or from the bottom upwards, it only had one type of icon for everything (blue square with a line), and when they got rid of it they replaced it with the Overview.  I'll take the Overview anytime, over that.

[Grand Design]

Stop.  There used to be no overview?

I bet that was interesting.

[Der Helm]

I bet that was interesting.

No.

[Grand Design]

We used to play Eve with no overview, in the snow, using rusty spoons and it was interesting, damnit!

I'm a little shocked that the current UI is CCP's second attempt.  That's scary.

Our internet space ships are likely easier to control than the interface we use. But hey, at least I still warp around seeing flashing red targets on the overview that aren't even in the system! 

[Pax]

Double-tap the TAB key et voila, no more shadows :)

[apocrypha]

Double-tap the TAB key et voila, no more shadows :)

Or CCP could design a decent fucking UI for once and we could stop having to game the damn thing to make it work. I mean ffs, it's the UI. Everyone uses it every single time they undock. Having it work flawlessly should be the top, number one, ultra super mega fucking priority.

</rant>

Sorry, it's my biggest bugbear with EVE. I see red when discussions about the entire UI come up.

[Grand Design]

Space is a big, unpredictable place and CCP wants to convey that sense of unknowing with an appropriate interface.

[kildorn]

Minmatar ships have an extra 15% chance of the UI fucking up, just to be realistic.

[Roberik Manders]

Only 15%? Think they need a nerf...

[Phildo]

Nerf the overview?

[Bungee]

yay the times when shields where what shields should be in the UI- this!

[Pax]

Screenshot 3 - shield tanking Apoc. Talk about awful fittings 

[Predator Irl]

Yeah I just love the interface, its so flexible, stable and reliable. I especially love when you have a drone window and you join a fleet, magnificent! Or my favourite, when you open a cargo container and it magically tabs into the overview...

wtf are you talking about?

Clearly walking in stations is more important.

I honestly fear what horror of a UI they'll make for walking around.

[ajax34i]

Camera can rotate sideways and you can look down, but not up.  Hold ALT button down to see names over people's heads.  Hit F10 to get a full-screen map of the station (no non-fullscreen options).  Double-click in any direction to walk in that direction.  Collision detection like a bestower stuck between two asteroids.  Right-click options for any animations or emotes you might want to do.  Any interaction with another person requires that you "target lock" that person first, with the familiar sound being played and the crosshairs centering somewhere on their chest.  Gravity behaving like in space, where if you try to run around a corner, you seem to be walking on walls, and then you re-verticalize yourself when you stop.  Pocket size measured in m3, with the familiar window opening when you press the Open Cargo button.

Obligatory 'Is that a thorax in your pocket...' joke.
Where did you find that?

[IainC]

New graphics engine is a touch of class.

[Slayerik]

A Hello Kitty Kessie? Nice. :)

Screenshot 3 - shield tanking Apoc. Talk about awful fittings 

The shield tanking apoc was, if i have been informed correctly, actually a lot better than the armor tanking apocs. CPRs didn't give the shield boost penalty, so people were running Dual XLB Apocs and other such ridiculousness iirc.  I wasn't playing back then, so ill need a vet to confirm.

[Predator Irl]

CCP will probably bring in the hello kitty paint jobs to attract the female audience... 

[Mrbloodworth]

You know this thing would be used by gate gankers everywhere.

Also, my girl said she would play EVE if ships were like that. 

[kildorn]

That should be the auto paint job for anyone with a negative sec status.

[Der Helm]

I'd smartbomb Jita to get that paint job 

[Predator Irl]

That should be the auto paint job for anyone with a negative sec status.

That should be the defacto paint job for carebears
