![]() ![]() Nit picky I suppose, but I guess they were pressed for what else to put up there. You either know what it is or you’re out of luck. That seems like a lot of real estate dedicated to things I probably don’t care about because I don’t expect them to change very often.Īnd the fact that security status is just tossed up there with an icon you might or might not know off hand… I only know what it is because I happen to know my sec status is 5.00, so I put that together quickly enough… maybe I do think about my sec status more than I guessed… but has no tool tip to tell you what it is if you mouse over it. My corporation and alliance are data points I am unlikely to forget overnight, while my CONCORD security standing isn’t something I think about very often at all. I want to like the new launcher putting more emphasis on the characters, and perhaps it is something I will get used to, but my project managers senses start tingling when news and information about a product gets lower priority.Īnd maybe I would be more convinced if the character information being presented was a little more useful. I hate to be the one advocating for ads taking up more space, but the launcher is one of the more reliable sources of information for players, a location we all pass through when entering the game, unlike other information sources such as Twitter, the EVE Discord server, the forums, or r/eve. But the change with the new layout feels a bit off to me. The old launcher devoted more space to ads and news about the game… though it also had more blank space. Or maybe I just feel like the space isn’t being used as effectively? So I suppose it is the way the information is laid out that is making it feel like it is taking up more space. That makes the new launcher about 110% the size of the old one, which isn’t much of a change. What is odd to be is that while the new launcher, as I noted, feels like it takes up much more space, it is actually pretty close in size to the old one.Įxpanding the images above, the old launcher comes in at 1660 pixels wide by 864 pixels tall, while the new launcher is 1683 pixels wide by 963 pixels tall. Both of those images are reduced down to the 600 pixel wide restriction of my blog’s theme, so it can be difficult to get a sense of the size difference.
