Ship: Kagemusha II - Anathema

    We started our wormhole survey mission in the Amdimmah constellation, Palas solar system. Quickly finding only one wormhole designation M555 we began our survey. M555 lead to system J172937. The system has eight planets 3 Temperate, 1 gas, 1 plasma, 1 ice, 1 barren, 1 storm. Nebula had distinctive orange streaks making a striking visual. System was very quiet no activity to note. Although there were no active ships there were three POS structures all found around Planet 4 the POS's were located at Moon 3, 4 and 16. All owned by  limited infinity. member of the  The Machine. alliance.

    With the Inferno expansion released it had a lot of awesome stuff, Missile graphics and launchers being added, new modules, Amarr V3, Faction Warfare overhaul and many more. The Unified Inventory was among them. Now its been a few weeks and the Inventory change has come with controversy and some frustration along with some fixes and new bugs.

    One of the of the problems that I think people who play the game don't see is that, if I am not mistaken, The game is almost ten years old with ten your old code that runs a good part of EvE Online. When trying to update someones code it can be very hard and time consuming and sometimes impossible. In a few recent EvE developer blogs they have mentioned having to rewrite code for entire systems in the game, the Crime Watch system is one example of this where the old code could not be modified any longer and had to be scraped and rewritten in order to make neechanges.

    The inventory system has not changed that much from the start of eve, its an old system that needed some love and attention. Game of Drones team set upon this daunting task. The Unified Inventory combined multiple separate inventory's into one inventory with one window. This changes a lot of things for people and makes some tasks harder to preform POS management and organization for reactions are examples of this.  They are making changes to inventory system to hopefully restore some of the previous functionality or at least alleviate some frustration when trying to do certain tasks. I do think that this was a necessary step in making EvE Online a better game however it should had been tested more thoroughly with more feedback from players before implementation.

    CCP has done an awesome job of keeping us the players informed on the changes coming to the inventory system and their progress on the bug fixes and changes they are working on. I hope that In the future when making massive UI changes they will allow for more testing and feedback before they push it to the live server.
