I have no more than level 2 Mastery on any ship (excluding shuttles) with 40 mil SP. Am I bad?

I was shocked while i see 1000% bonus to lazorz on absolution, but...

" Don't worry about the stats, it's just a mockup, the bonus to Medium Energy Turret damage isn't changing to 1000% :-)"

Damn you CCP i just want to Exploit this OopsLolP

Thank you for thinking about 3rd party devs before the release, not after!

Since all the industrial ships have a six sided diaper on their ship icons I suggest you add this to the "Hauling" and "Resource Harvesting" highlight icons.
Energy Turret, Projectile Turret, and Hybrid Turret icons are hard to distinguish. My suggestions:

  • Make Energy Turret an obvious single straight beam shooting out of something.
  • Make Hybrid Turret have a set of concentric rings around the projectile path to illustrate the chain of electromagnets that accellerate a railgun slug. (edit: i guess this is technically a 'coil gun' but y'know, 150mm compressed coil gun i, close 'nuff)
  • Make Projectile Turret look like a minigun or at least put visible muzzle brake holes. The current iteration of the Hybrid icon looks to me like what I expect a projectile turret to look like.

Exploration ship type looks quite similar to Tackling ship type. Maybe for Exploration, overlay the ship triangle on top of a cross shaped group of translucent probe bubbles.

The old format which is used in the Description tab of Show Info windows had everything together in one field, which made it very hard for us to make any drastic changes to the layout and visual presentation of key information. With the re-authoring of all ship bonuses information we now have the ability to display the information in a way that makes it more efficient to read the key information about each ship.
HELL YEAH! all in all good work, Team Game of Drones!

Those ship icons definitely look a lot better than the first iteration (which was a very poor attempt) that I remembered commenting years back. Each of them are fairly distinguishable in a quick glance.
Also, good move in testing the waters and inscribing it into memory by releasing it as an ISIS feature. This has the potential to be successful.

In the very last screenshot of the dev blog, why is the Archon next to the Aeon in the Supercapital section and not next to the Revelation under capitals instead?

Otherwise I'm loving ISIS! Those new icons should definitely be used in other areas like the overview, as others have written before me.

EDIT: Also noticed in the Sansha ship tree screenshot that the Revenant is listed merely as a 'Carrier' yet has the correct 'Supercapital' icon attached to it.

Put those ship Icons in the overview!!! boxes of different sizes is suddenly not good enough for my eyes.

Growing the ISIS so it at one point includes mini-EFT version would be more than awesome!

This is great stuff. I like the icons. So many other great things they could be used for.

This is fantastic for newer players and is much needed. Should have been done a long time ago honestly. One nitpick though, why Interbus rather than Concorde Ship Identification System?

This is an excellent development and beautiful UI. Port those icons to the overview as soon as possible. And give them to the rats too. No more red crosses!!

I'm on the fence....

On the one hand my 150 Million skillpoints will give me a shiny bunch of charts to look at for an hour or two...

On the other hand I can't help but feel you guys at CCP have yet again unilaterally decided to release another new feature (rewriting the old 'unrequested' feature of certificates), and have ignored a lot of the other burning feature requests by players... again.

If I had a third 'underhand' - I'd also summise this will be good for bringing in new players which *tinfoil* is where you guys in CCP believe the money lies...not with satisfying the current players.

Looks pretty though, I'll give you that. Cheers.

Will we be able to sort/view by ship manufacturer/developer?
