m8 people do not want to use-to it! People already use to it with the old ones.

If you want to use new one -ok. But the people which do not want to use they must have the old one icons - simple

That's it!!

Wow.

Just wow.

So CCP knew their UI scaler was unable to scale pixel-sharp objects properly and yet considered it a good idea to push the new icons through?

CCP, have a long hard look at the old icons - the reason why nobody complained about how they looked, scaled or not, was that whoever designed them actually considered what your scaler could and couldn't do (I can't believe they would have been so cleverly designed just by coincidence). The shapes were chosen (and implemented) so that they would scale acceptably even with a crappy scaler.

THIS ALONE IS A REASON GOOD ENOUGH TO REVERT BACK TO THE OLD ICONS - at least until you can improve the UI scaler so that it scales sharp pixel-sized objects properly.

It's really not my place to comment on features developed by another team. As Claymore and Surge have already said they are reading and considering all your feedback.

I didnt have a problem addapting to the new icons. i have 22" screen in HD and everything is sharp and easy to see.

Ships are looking quite good, please continue to update them

New ships icons are terrible, overview in not intuitive and very confusing. I appreciate work, but result makes main game tool almost useless.

Ok a little summation, to make it easy to read for the Devs.

There is an issue with scaling that many people use. this increases the magnitude of the issues people are encountering.

There is an issue with the aesthetics, this is a matter of opinion, and even though players may not like it, is not gamebreaking.

There is a serious issue of legibility with the smaller icons,and the more cluttered icons at all scaling settings. This is Game-breaking for the players affected. they (myself included) cannot adapt to that we cannot clearly see.

There is a significant issue with over complication of the overview and screen icons. Less is more.

There is an issue with differentiating player and NPC icons. this has serious consequences to game play.

Potential resolutions.

1. Roll back to classic Icons.

2. Offer classic icons as an alternative.

3. Create modified classic icon set with bottom sector part filled in to differentiate battlecruisers/cruisers and Frigates/destroyers. and no other changes.

4. Use A new design, seriously reduce the number of new icons, and redesign to differentiate NPC and player icons. Probably as described in 3.

5. Do nothing and expect players to grow new, improved, eyes.

(I half joke, but the reality is, without serious changes, that is the only thing that will rescue this.)

We await your decision, hopefully it will take account of player experiences and needs.

Your solution is not feasible since it says "bring back the old icons, and the previous icons, and make all three sets possible to be selected and mixed and matched how we see fit."

This means we have one set of okay icons, and two sets of blurry icons when scaled. I never said we should go back to the old icons. You will not find a single post of me saying that in this topic. You are free to check my profile, I have only posted in this feedback topic since it started. Please do not put words in my mouth.

But even if I HAD said it, then why would that be worse than what you are proposing? Reverting to the old icons would most likely be a lot easier than to create a section in the overview settings to decide which Icons you want from what set.

We have the new icons, now we have to deal with them and hope that our continued high qualify feedback will be heard. That is the only thing we can do by now. Which, by the way, has been done since MONTHS.
The same, and I repeat myself yet again, is happening with opportunities and the new starmap. No useful updates there.
Old features which were good, have been cut out for no reason at all. It might be just be, but I am STILL misclicking the icons for Contracts and Notepad in my Neocom. I also miss my purple interface.

If you read the post before I was saying "no" to your suggestion, then you would have seen a good number of solutions. In fact, I tried to be as civil and detailed as I possibly can, through the entire topic, bringing up multiple points, often repeating myself.

I fully understand there is pressure on the development teams to ship a certain feature for a certain deadline. I know there are the marketing and business hyenas who are more prone to push people to bad decisions and half-finished products than not.
But we do live in a community here. I don't want to FIGHT the developers, I want to WORK with them. I bet most people here who have been on sisi (And I don't know if you have been) and who are giving in-depth feedback want to WORK with the developers too.

It gets increasingly difficult to still believe we're working together, if features are removed that nobody wanted gone, and if changes are made that are not optimal. I'm not talking about gameplay balance here, that is an entirely different cup of tea. But the User interface is the ONLY thing that every player of a game is dealing with 100% of all the time they play.
That is why it is such a sensitive topic.

Im still mad about my monochrome neocom.

dunno why ppl complain about the UI/Neocom colours, theres a option to choose between different themes. Or do i get it wrong?
