Hey. I had trouble several times distinguishing specifically hose two icons from one another because when they're little they look somewhat similar. So I was thinking how they can be made more readable and it struck me that you could just remove the faded part of the market graph of the market icon.

Here's an image I made on Paint to explain what I mean.

Cheers.

And btw god bless the dev that included book mark current location shortcut.

Edit: maybe this image isn't good enough because I used somewhat lighter color from the right part of the picture. But I hope you get the overall picture.

Hey now, if it wasn't for me not being able to tell the difference between the two icons, I'd probably never have found the ship I found last night. The one I'd built and forgot about from a month ago.

But yeah, the icons are way too similar, even more so when combining small scaling and large resolution.

Looks like a good improvement to me. By the time it gets implemented, my muscle memory will have it all figured out anyway.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Hey. It might not be cool to bump your own threads but IMO this should be looked upon and it wouldn't req as much as attention from devs to fix as other issues/suggestions the players have.

Cheers.

Edit: hell, I'll even include updated version of the pic that I said it's not good color.

Not only is it uncool, it's against the rules for F&I.

They look completely different to me. Not sure what you mean here.
