Make it the same as the cargo icon when out in space on the UI?

Been around since the beginning.

Well I'll be darned. It is a Rifter.

I like Rifters.

After the great frigate rebalance, CCP realized they made a huge mistake by nerfing the Rifter too much. So to atone they opted to make the cargo hold UI look like the Rifter to remind everyone mashing the button over and over is more effective in combat that the Rifter itself.

I'd dig up the post where a dev said they can make terrible icons because eventually we will get used to them(he said it better) but trust me they are still too busy huffing their own farts to know why the icon is stupid.

I'll be honest. It being in the same place as the old "cargo-expander" icon made me miss the entire change. They could put any icon there and I think I would never have noticed.

Lets bring the Bantam back. It got kicked from the fitting icon in favor of said Rifter. Time for some payback yeah?
