EVE Online Dev Blog Previews New Ship Fiting Screen

By | February 16, 2009 | | Filed under: News | Tags: , , ,

In a recently published dev blog developers CCP Fendahl and CCP Sharq, who are working on the UI for the upcoming Apocrypha expansion for EVE Online, previews the new ship fitting screen where players modify their spaceships with equipment and modules.

One of the biggest changes, UI-wise is the redesign of the fitting screen. With the introduction of Tech 3 ships with sub-systems, we decided it was time for an overhaul. As sub-systems change the look of Tech 3 ships, it would be useful to be able to see how the ship changes as you fit different sub-systems. At the same time we wanted a unique interface rather than another Excel-in-space window. With this in mind, we came up with a new design. We arrange the modules, rigs and sub-systems in a ring around the ship (codename: Stargate, and later: Viewmaster 2000), with collapsible side panels for item selection and ship statistics.
