Some months ago, I posted this:

I'm very glad to hear from CCP the following:

"Second, while introducing the new turret graphics, we decided to experiment with using rendered views of each turret to replace the icons that you see in the fitting screen, HUD, market and on active targets. It turned out that the new turret models, while heavily detailed and cool, didn‘t lend themselves well to being drawn in an area just a few pixels wide and tall. Usability suffered. It was hard to distinguish between turret types. As a result, we will be reverting the change so that turret icons use the original custom drawn icons, rather than 3d renders of the turrets themselves. You will still be able to get the 3d preview of the turret, to celebrate their uberness while reading their stats. - CCP"


I'm not crazy neither a teaser or troll. I just have 25 years experience in design.

well done for creating a thread to pat yourself on the back

I'm pretty sure the majority of people felt this way about the turret icons, should we all create our own threads too?

Well done, you were the one and only person that pointed this out.
You deserve a medal or something, to show just how greatly behind the times you are.

Congratulations for your accomplishment.
