Version 20.10 - General Feedback

Great Upwell structure overhaul. Looking forward to in station walking again. Would be a pity not enjoy it to the fullest! Also the Navy Rev just looks like the normal Rev. I guess the model overhaul was made on a friday afternoon, thirty minutes before the weekend.

Ok, so great job with the hangar, howeverā€¦

I can no longer spin my capitals!

WTF? Literally unplayable :wink:

Confirm. Have the same problem

Using DirectX 11 and the legacy UI with zero problemsā€¦

Please accept my congratulations for an amazing Uprising expansion. I went through the patch notes and it is so impressive. The team worked like never before and we are so grateful for delivering this to us!

Very very well done! Xaar

When in WH Space, + B calls up the bookmark window and clicking SAVE posts the icon on the screen. HOWEVER, the bookmark does NOT show up in your personal locations window unless you first exit WH space. Then you have to wait four (4) minutes while the timer runs down before you can go back through the wormhole and proceed as normal. If you donā€™t first exit WH space to normal space and warp off, you have to scan down the WH exit afresh. A definite pain, especially if someone is hunting you.

The new hangar design for subcaps is great. I wish i could say the same for capitals, but not be able to spin the camera around my capital inside my hangar is quite annoying.

When are we getting the ability to enlist in faction warfare independently of our corp?

CCP, well done on the massive upgrade. Mostly looks great and plays great so fair play there, but a few very poor UI choices in places.

The docking animation and that terrible chirping sound that goes with it - where do we disable that?

Also, whatā€™s with the compact mode on a lot of the windows in this Prism UI - why is there no close button shown in compact mode? Youā€™re seriously making us open a sub-menu to close these windows ā€¦ every single time? Thereā€™s already enough clicking in the UI without adding another layer to the most often used windows.

Iā€™m liking the new update in principle, but the new Upwell Structure graphics seem to be destroying my PC.

Yesterday I could run several accounts without issues, today even two accounts is having a massive drain my my GPU and keeps crashing drivers due to the load. The only solution is to ensure I use CTRL+SHIFT+F9 before I dock, otherwise its unplayable.

within our alliance, that is a very common complaint. the rendering takes forever, the long black scrren time is pretty painful, but having our computers start to overheat and FPS loss is a major issue. can we get an option to turn off all these animations?

Do we really think that prettier stations is going to increase player retention?

This seems to go back to the ā€œwalk around the stationā€ thing that CCP wisely dumped because it consumed time/effort/resources but added nothing of real value to the game.

Yes, a lot of people spend time in stations/structures, I get that. But aside from ship spinning (I hear no longer possible?) and an initial investigation the first few times, how many people regularly just sit and watch and marvel at it? Especially given the animations are on a pretty short and predictable loop. Most people who spend their time in stations are focusing on the UI, not the backgroundā€¦

Eveā€™s just not a game I can see working well on mobile. Thereā€™s already Eve Echoes, I wonder how thatā€™s goingā€¦

Itā€™s not that nice on a Ryzen 7 3700x with 32GB of RAM and an RTX3070ā€¦

Iā€™m using the legacy UI still (great to see itā€™s getting updates like the security level in ā€œPersonal Assetsā€), but DirectX12.

Ship spinning still works in the new Upwell docks.
First thing I tried.

my most polite feedback:

  • drop docking notification that wastes space (or give option to disable it)
  • drop docking sound, itā€™s utterly annoying (or give option to disable it)
  • give option to revert to simple hangarā€¦ I canā€™t even turn the camera on most of my bigger ships far enough to spot killmarksā€¦ thanks whoever was in charge of (not) testing
  • give option to disable any kind of (useless) animation inside hangar
  • STOP FREAKIN NINJA-CHANGING SETTINGS (or why was it deemed necessary to move the transparency slider during this update? if I decided to not have my windows transparent, chances are there was a reason for it, and I doubt any of the not-even-playing devs in charge would know better). Please let players keep there settings if there isnā€™t a really really really strong reason for messing with themā€¦

I do like some of the new ships, but Iā€™m not gonna take the 7 days omega bribe and be quiet about the literal embarrassment of a patch that is the hangar/docking stuff. Itā€™s mind boggling that year after year itā€™s constantly rushed form-over-function updates that waste resources and only add annoyance after the first time seeing them in action :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

is there a way to disable the animation when i switch ships? ā€œI get sick from this camera movementā€

I only have one suggestion:

Give freighters and jump freighters the same kind of docking visuals as the subcaps. When I do courier contracts, I often have windows open over the ship and I need to be able to click on the ship to open the cargo bay quickly. Now that I canā€™t spin and adjust the camera angle, itā€™s hard for me to have a window open and click on my ship.

Thatā€™s all. Great update.

Will drop some feedback on logos once I get around to running missions in highsec to get them. Might be a while.
