There is way too much space being wasted in the middle of this page

Please bring back the ability to collapse the skill categories section into a saner size
I like the new skill window and character screen. I appreciate the work and effort that went into this to make it easier and more available for new players to understand what skills are necessary for their chosen line of work. The Certified skill plans and the ability for corps to build and share custom skill plans will go a long way to making New Bros lives easier in corporations that like to run ship doctrines.
Eliminating the 24 hour queue limit from Alpha characters allows a person to really plan out the direction of their character and not get distracted. Thanks so much for the changes and keep up the good work.
Donāt let the old Guarde distract you with complaints because they donāt like change. Change is inevitable. It is nice to see change happening to benefit new players!!!

Is there going to be Corporation Skill Plans that will be listed alongside the ācertifiedā plans?
Corp plans can be linked in Bulletins and MOTD and loaded that way similar to ship fittings.
I am aware, but that isnāt what I asked. Ship fits also have a Corporation Fits filter
There is a reason the complaints are not about the skill plans or the chance to alpha characters, those are good changes and they were met with positive feedback when this redesign was first announced.
The complaints are about the UI, which is shockingly aweful.

I have big issues with the new character sheet and skill windows.
-
Firstly, the portrait in the character sheet makes my graphics card lock up the moment I open it. So now I cannot get to jump clones, interactionsā¦ none of the pages in the character sheet. In the old character sheet I could hide the portrait shown at the top, which used to solve the problem for me. But there is no āhide portraitā button in the new one. And yes I have tried with character rendering set to low quality. Made no difference.

Secondly the new skill window is just terribly to navigate on a smaller laptop screen. It only shows 2ā¦ just 2 skills at the bottom. So much wasted space!!! And why is all the categories so big?! Utterly useless and impossible to try and browse + plan what to train next if you can only see 2! And donāt get me started on how much scrolling is required! Something seems very very very wrong with the amount the mouse wheel has to be rolled to move a small amount in this particular window.
If the intention is to lock out people who have played the game for many years on older spec laptops then it is working as intended!

sadly no 
Soā¦this completely useless full-size character image is there to encourage players to buy apparel, right?

That cannot be assumed, especially when the patch notes are released in English for a game where quite a lot of the players only speak English as a second, third, or later language. Notice the lack of detailed patch notes in French, German, Russian, and Japanese.
If youāre going to make people get the detailed patch notes in a secondary or tertiary language, the least you could do is take pains to make those details clear.

I donāt know who approved this mess but please give me the option to go back to the old viewā¦
- So much space wasted
- All texts is massive
- The actual skill list is only like 20% of the window
- i cant see how many skill points left to train on a skill to lvl up
- cant make the actual training queue big without making it covering my whole screen (2k res)
- making the windows bigger only stretches it out and not filling it with more information (was bad on old way to tbh)
- you cant snap the window in other windows - same for character sheet
- make the windows small and training time is overlapping the pause button
- The color is not matching the theme Iām using
- seems like we have multiple different styles in menuās
I really donāt see the benefits for this UI other then for people that have huge resolution screens and donāt know proper tools to make a skill plan (Aka new players).
This basically belong in the same category as the fiasco with the red dot.
Seems like CCP donāt care about player input because clearly not a single player would like this when this was online on the test serverā¦
just implement this and see the shitstorm on the forum and then patch it a littlebit so they shut upā¦
Getting the feeling its not going well in the inner circles of the game creatorsā¦?

Hi,
The skill plan for new players could be helpfull, for new players, but I donāt get the change on skill display. Everything was pretty clear in the previous ui, not taking too much space. Now everything is too big, with too much gaps eveywhere, caracter size do not resize when we reduce the size of skill page, resulting of letters overlaping other iconsā¦ I donāt see the points needed for training a level, or the time itāll take. Basically, everything is worse for me. I just donāt get what you wanted to do with that.
Do you really play your own game seriously? Can we have the old interface back please? (or at least the choice of choosing the new garbage one ,or the old faithfull one?)

Exactly! What the heck is this nonsense!
Also, CCP, where are the shorts? The skirts above the knee? KILTS, fer cryinā out softly! Minmatar tats on the torso? Thereās all sorts of crap you could be making money on here!
I rarely check Eve forums and community, since I am a new player (about 2 months of active playing) and still donāt have much grasp on the community. But what I saw today after logging in made me so frustrated I actively searched for a feedback thread or something to clearly express my disgust.
THE MAIN PROBLEM of people discussing this stupid skill menu change is that they LONG TIME AGO FORGOT how it is to be a newbie!!!
What in the hell makes you thinking that new players were overwhelmed by information?! That they want to see and understand less?! That they want precious information to be hidden from them?! That they are vision-impaired and need bigger buttons and bars?! That dividing one complete window into several windows/sections and hiding its parts will help them?!
I still have A TON to learn about Eve. I am a newbie and the old skill menu was clunky and cramped. But it was still light years ahead of what we have now.
My omega expired few weeks ago and I was still undecided if I want to invest more time and money into Eve or just leave. After playing today for 15 minutes I feel so discouraged that suddenly I donāt feel any will to spend any more time (not to mention money) on Eve.
Bye.
