There wasn't even a 'new' one in the first place, last I checked. It just used the same jump effect as using a stargate.


the old one used to be a big lightning strike kind of thing instead of just a bubble, i miss it :(

I know CCP arnt kean on checking their software before realise, but i would have thought they could at least spell check their dev blogs before release, -- ''you‘ll be spending Hydropgen Isotopes''

How many beers does it cost a dev these days for making school boy errors ?

It is a start, i won't thank you for returning the old icons, as it was clearly a mistake putting in new ones.
But with these rollback i hope and pray it is the start of ccp focusing more on eve.

I look forward to see ship spinning and a cargohold window that will stay open again

O/

I still don't think it was- they were just following the standard established with ship and drone icons, since turrets actually look unique, finally. They just needed to implement it with a background or backdrop like the ship and drone icons (if possible, it could be conditional based on where it was used, so it would be noticeable by the target indicators for those who can't see them, but wouldn't clutter up the fitting window or such). That was the biggest mistake, not using new icons, to me.

I hope i'll be able to play eve again ... since Incarna eve is crashing all the time. I know CCP claims that the Intel Driver is the root cause, but from a player perspektive it's hard to believe when things worked out well before Incarna.

Yes, I realize this- it was featured in EVE Hell. However, my point was they never bothered to create a 'new' effect (until now, it seems), they just used the new gate-jump effect for all jumps, regardless of capital cyno or stargate use.

I would much prefer if the fitting window effectively replaced the "ship boarded" background. Much more functional as the fitting window is usually a PITA to have open and is always in the way. Why not drag mods to the ship in the background to fit? I don't think anyone who wants to spin a ship actually cares if its visually in a hangar or not.

I'm going to choose to believe that was deliberate, as in "It's hot hydropgen o'clock". ;)

So let me see if I get this right.

Putting back old icons for turrets - old stuff
Putting back station spinning - old stuff
Add a caldari captains quarters - new stuff for walking in station
Adding a new cyno effect - new stuff

So really we are only getting 1 new thing and it's not even that big a thing. We ever going to hear something about 0.0 changes or super cap changes or anything in space game changing changes?!?!

More space stuff, less station stuff.

Question for CCP: Right now when we are on the balcony we see a hangar space that looks quite different from the hanger spaces we were seeing pre-incarna. With the coming return of ship spinning, which hangar space will the ship-only view be in, the new one or the old one? If its the old one, then that is rather immersion breaking. Somehow the hanger magically changes in the blink of the eye when I leave the ship.

The original UI functionality is scheduled to be retained. Rather than a checkbox in the escape menu, you will simply be able to board and unboard your ship.

Great to hear. I can think what I want when it comes to WiS & CQ, but as long as it's not a mandatory part of what I've always been able to do, then my opinion is moot.

Quote:
As a result, we will be reverting the change so that turret icons use the original custom drawn icons.

Shocked
CCP reverting a change that isn't gamebreaking, just because players liked the old way better???

Did I suddenly wake up to find it April 1st? ... or December 25th?

If only you had bothered actually reading the bazillion threads posted during CQ testing, you would not have been surprised by the demand for a low-intensity hangar view option (aka. ship spinning) and the pure logic that a CQ toggle functionality ..
