Surely it would be simple to add a set of processes to adjust the colours rendered from the clients point of view if the appropriate option was selected in the client's menu? I don't see why you wouldn't want this. Surely the game is built to support blind people as well as other disabled people.

As a Colorblind player myself I fully support this request. Google actually had the foresight to code color correction into their latest version of Android so it can be system wide as I have been requesting Microsoft to allow for years to no avail. But seriously I have major issues distinguishing from friendly and enemy in local with the colors CCP chose to use to highlight them. I have to mouse over the names/icons one at a time to see if they are in my corp, or an enemy and it gets very tedious.

Editing to post link to an example of what I deal with the whole time I play. this a small snipping of my local window and the icons next to the names. I can not see a difference in the colors of the icons in the window shown at all. I have to actually mouse oer each one one to see if they are in my corp or a WT.

TBH, people who see the full color spectrum won't see the issue with the picture you have provided because they look at that and with a glance instantly see the color difference.

Here are a couple websites that have some comparison pictures that actually adapt the picture to what a colorblind person actually sees when they look at the example pictures. It's crazy, but the dueteranopia pictures look the same to me as the standard picture.


I get that most people won't see a problem with the picture I posted. I was merely using it to demonstrate the I see no difference in the colors there. My wife thinks I am nuts as well but she understands the difference. I have my phone setup with android 5.0's built in colo correction and it makes android a completely different beast as well as the apps and games on the platform. it changes the colors at the OS level I only wish windows had such an option then CCP wouldn't need to worry about it

I am red green colorblind and despite having perfect ECM skills in a corp famous for using way too many Falcons on lone rating Drakes, I can't fly a Falcon because I can't tell the difference in the effing jammers.

Again, I am only partially colorblind. I am fine generally under sunlight, but green brown and red are interchangeable under fluorescent light. Monitors, TV's, and pretty much anything back lit can be especially odd for me. Never have been able to read a color code on a resistor due to the industry standard colors.

It would be nice if CCP would make icons shaped different for different modules of similar types instead of just changing the color, like they did on the missiles.

Also, it would be nice if you could pick the color for targeting or aggro on the overview, although I have no problem with red/yellow (or rather brown/yellow as I see it.)

If you are male and colorblind it's your mom's fault. Blame her on mother's day. I blame mine every year. Color vision genes ride the X chromosome.

Suggestion.
If you highlight the modules, it will tell you which jammer it is. You can organize them by position. Alphabetical order let's say.
