Not sure if this is the right thread to respond to, but hopefully it is.
First up the new S&I interface is visually stunning but completely fails at being usable, frankly the tooltips are more helpful than the interface in some cases. for example deciphering what the build requirements actually are: http://i.imgur.com/1URXNbt.jpg Frankly I don't know what any of the icons on the left are, I don't want to be constantly hovering over every item to find out what mineral/PI Goods/components/other the build requirements are. The tooltip from the screenshot is better at showing the build requirements than the actual interface.
Next pet peeve, Job Duration, how about actually showing it in a XXd XXh XXm XXs format instead of the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format which is far from easy to read, or at least give a human readable format in the tooltip.
Blueprints tab, I see that it has been mentioned a few times, but the ability to filter based on BPO or BPC or Both would be very much required. One of the most common things I do is probably filter by BPO and then sort on either ME or PE and then research the ones that have low amounts, having the BPCs in the mix makes it allot harder to easily do this.
Facilities tab, actually no real comments for this tab. Although I found it comical that there was effectively no difference between details view and List view apart from the size of the icons/zoom.
Jobs tab, same as facilities tab, no real comments for this tab. Although I again I found it comical that there was effectively no difference between details view and List view apart from the size of the icons/zoom. However it was the first tab that I found that I wanted to make the window wider and found that I couldn't, frankly trying to see all of the columns with long blueprint/character/station names will be very difficult in the limited width.
Teams Tab, I don't really understand this too much so can't really comment too much on it, however when installing jobs, I'm only going to want to see teams that are already in my location, not try and bid and then wait for them to come to me etc. (please note that I more use S&I to be self sufficient and not for producing to sell, so my usage is sporadic and more that I produce stuff when I need it.)
General note, I felt that it was odd to select the input material location on the output side of the horizontal flowchart. It would probably feel more normal to have it with the inputs, when I first went looking for it, it took a while to locate it.
