EVE Online, a game in continuous development for over 20 years, has recently undergone significant updates to its Ship Info window. This window, one of the most used in the game, had accumulated technical debt over time. The overhaul aimed to preserve functionality while enhancing the user experience. The new Ship Info window now resembles a manufacturer’s technical brochure, emphasizing the physicality of ships within the EVE Universe. The update involved restructuring services and components, extracting functionality into a base class for stability. Challenges included integrating 3D rendering into the UI environment, leading to solutions that pave the way for future 3D UI elements. Feedback from the community was largely constructive, aiding in refining the final product. Further enhancements are planned, including improvements to the 3D view and fitting panel.
