Also...
I would like it if the UI symbol for "this guy is in your fleet / alliance / corp/ is-blue-to-you" were a bit more prominent than it is now. As things are currently, the tiny little symbol that is added to the target list is easy to miss mid-combat.
I think a color-coded border indicating standing would be perfect. It doesn't need to be very thick. Just enough so that logi and carrier pilots can see at a glance "shoot that guy" and "repair this guy".
Thanks. o7 |

As far as the animation goes when you're establishing target lock, you could make it like a timer that goes all the way around the circle. So if it takes 12 seconds to lock a ship, the circle takes 12 seconds to fill up
The hit animation is to allow you to see at a glance who's doing some serious damage to you. I've been noobing in missions and have no idea who is really the one damaging me, but if I had these indicators, it would help me find that guy and shoot him down!
The targeting animation is like that... the 1/3 of a circle you see on the Raven in the "after" screenshot is the targeting animation... I'm sorry, I didn't notice until now that it kind of looks like it's the shield. CCP karkur | User Interface Programmer | Team Pony Express | @CCP karkur |

(the current damage messages actually categorize the hits based on the ability of the module)
I see your point, as in you are trying to assess high risk targets visually through damage notifications. most players in eve already asses high damage dealing targets so I guess this is a bit of a philosophic difference between you and I. I know that an ibis will be hitting me for crap while a megathron will be pounding me and I donGÇÖt need a UI to tell me what is a bigger threat. Maybe newer players do. What I am suggesting would be a tool that helps you asses how well a player is hitting you. Most players (even vetrans) donGÇÖt really understand what sig tanking, speed tanking, tracking and optimal really do in battle. Changing the purpose of this UI feature could be a way to know when you are flying well as opposed to taking max damage.
CCP karkur wrote: And I don't really understand.. you say you want the health bars on all the targets, and then you say you want to disable them?
I mean leave the UI bars on the ships viewable in the 3D environment but have the option to remove the image icons at the top of the screen. Low-sec Best-sec |

Pretty much the only negative feedback I can think of.
The targeting range reticles will be a godsend when jumping into generic Serpentis Mission of Sensor Dampening DoomGäó #23134 though. I love this, very pretty overall :D Enjoy your gaming.

As a some recent commentaries have noted... we've had a lot of stuff forced on us lately - despite a lot of people telling CCP it is not the way to go.

Why couldnt this be added to the picture that is brought up when you target someone. Would be nice to see. |

Please this! We already need colors for s/a/s, it will be more needed when circles come.

it does look nice. but i hope there will be option to change which UI you want to use. AND then i have a question. have you guys tested how the new UI works on big fleet fights. would be a shame if it will be even more lag when 200 guys start shooting you on bigger fleetfights. |

CCP Karkur,
There are some information that we just don't need, Like the Square in the middle of the screen saying " X blablabla bblaba alba 150 damgage uabauabu" we just read the numbers, we just need the numbers.... Remove it completly. and Place only the damage value over the shotting ship Bracket (hitting icon), with the same color transparency as the blink (of the hitting icon). And also The damage that we do, the yellow one, Place it Above ower weapon icon!!! that is it!!! And if you want to do some thing for the logistics too it will be awesome!!!!
thx

I like the concept shown for the additional information shown on the brackets. The dev blog shows a targeting icon based on targeting range. This is mostly useless information for me. I live and fight in wormholes where most encounters occur at very close range. What I care about is the weapon range for my weapons and selected ammo. From a personal perspective, I would prefer to see the targeting icon when a target is inside my optimal + falloff instead of the targeting range of my ship. |

I worry that switching the 'rows of HP bars' for 'rings of HP bars' while make it harder to tell what you're hitting. Perhaps colour code it, with shields blue, armour green, and hull yellow?

CCP Prism X wrote:So.. Which one is shield?
Agree with this...intuitively I though shield would be the first starting at top left and round the clock go armor and hull... but form the screenshots it seems hull is at top left... I have to admit the old 3 stacked bars give a much better idea of the health of a ship in one very quick glance.
The icons look good, I like the hit animation and think I want to see who is dealing the most damage to me, not how good or bad the hit they just inflicted was.
One idea for the in range icon...how about coloring the brackets green or blue? Dunno, maybe too many colors at once.
Also, it seems the counter in seconds for projected effects is gone, not happy about that... I kinda like to know I am screwed for 20 seconds and counting ... and how long I have until it expires...I usually relied more on that than the actual bar filling up.
In all I like the work and how it's looking. The hit icon is just an awesome idea!
Maybe a small video showing how this looks in action would help sell the idea.

Hmm, I note that module timers go around clockwise, but start at the 6 o'clock location. The damage circle also goes around clockwise, but starts at the 12 o'clock position.
Everything goes clockwise, nice and consistent. But they start at inconsistent locations. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

The hit icon opacity thing sounds very cool and is a very nice visual indicator. However my concern is that it'll effectively display individual shots rather than the rate of incoming damage from a target. What I would suggest is that you have a value for opacity that diminishes at a certain rate (Whether it's linear, exponential or whatever isn't exactly important) and on each hit the value is topped up a little bit depending on the damage of the hit (Still the ratio of damage to HP) so that you can still see each individual shot come in as the opacity suddenly increases. So now a missile volley (Massive value) and turret shots (loads of little values) are now visibly comparable as you now have in a way a display of average incoming damage rather than what the last shot was like which isn't very helpful when you're trying to decide whether a missile boat or a turret boat is dealing more damage. |

Good question!
Short answer: in Retribution we're not changing the overview.
The reason for this is that In the overview the square in which you can see the icons for locking/aggressing etc. is a tiny area in which there is very little room for tweaking. For that reason the new design retains the color-coding of yellow and red brackets that you recognize to mean "has you locked" and "has you aggressed".

Please let us keep the option to see raw #'s somewhere. I like to know at a glance, numerically, what the time to lock is or what % my enemies shields are without a mouseover. Our eyes are well trained to spot percentages on a bar -scale, not so much for partial arc. |

I'm not sure I understand why color-coding the bars is so important. Shield is the one that turns red first; armor is the one that turns red second; hull is the one that turns red last. The important summary is "how red is the circle?" If the bars were proportional to the size of the defense type (so shield tanked ships would have a long first bar, etc.) that would be cool.
It would be even more intuitive if the ship's own HUD worked that way, so that the presentation of information was absolutely consistent, right down to the HUD pulsing brightly when you land a wrecking strike, and dimly when you just graze your target.

I'd argue big individual shots don't matter that much in relation to incoming DPS

As for the latter, I did think it was the shield, but since that is the targeting animation then all I have to say is "excellent". http://themittani.com/features/local-problem A simple fix to the local intel problem |
