The new images for the armor hardening modules etc look very very pretty :D

I feel armor hardeners look too uniform, it's really hard to tell at a glance which is which. Shield icons are a tad better.

Come to think of it, this is typical CCP mistake - doing the opposite of what they should be doing. The emphasis on the icon should be on the resistance type, and the secondary emphasis should indicate that it is an armor hardener, not shield. In other words, the effect should occupy most of the icon, and the type should occupy the corner. Not the other way around.

a little bit hard to see but +1 for the good intention

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Smile Ooh.. Shiny!

That's some pretty sweet looking icons there. Cool

edit:

I think the armor would look better if you let the new layer burn through the old; particularly in the dark areas where it currently isn't visible. Would be alpha there at the moment I believe, but I'm not sure. It's more important I think, to see the type effect, than to have the original outline of the hardener.

Shields look great though.

Shield looks good, but that's because its a shield and has little detail to block the resistance image.
Armor not nearly as insightful at a glance in comparison.

How about new pictures for armor repairers or remote armor repairers so they actually dont look the same?
Sure these are pretty but there are other modules that are in a bigger need.

I'll agree with this, a little tweak would make them better. However in CCP defence they are much improved over what we have now

I really like these - the shields are quite clear now from a glance what they defending against.

The armor are less clear - perhaps modify the glow around the module to be a bit different - right now they are all redish orange haze - red for therm - blue for em - brownish or grey for EM - yellow/orange for explosive.

Just a thought

But +1 on the new images

Took one last look at these

one other suggestion - maybe remove the glint off the forehead area of the armor....that may allow to see the colored effect more clearly - move the colored effect to that area

the shields because they are flat and have more smooth clear area allow for the defended coloring and image to be seen clearly. The use of a helmet its got more texture to the mid and lower area and less ability to see the effect.

just my 2 cents

Cheers
