Ugh, of all the things to have a gripe about, module icons?

Not really Highsec problems, more like entitlement issues.

Nearly the same thing =P.

You're right, actually.

Hardly anyone in highsec even uses damage control...

Whatever, guys, whatever. Make it blue, make it green, neon, whatever. Just leave suitcase contour there.

How many do you know module names like this that growed to meme? How many such memes are already used outside of talks about eve? I know only one: suitecase. Whe also use 'pet' or 'cittizen (cit)' and etc in talks about IRL things, but they are not in danger. They refers to metagaming things.

Suitecase is in danger. And you want to kill this culture element, natural language anomaly that makes eve atmosphere because of what? Because of it's what? Not logical? Idiotism, really.

It's very easy to destroy famous statue, picture or memorial. It's much more harder to build new one. It's almost impossible to make it real culture element. Such language anomalies like 'suitecase' are of course far from statues, but they have the same nature. It's easy to destroy it, almost impossible to create new one.

Tell all that to the Incursus.

Too many people working on Eve today didn't play it or work for CCP in the old days. This is the source of every problem that crops up in the game now. Too broad or simplistic a judgment? Tell it to new damage control icon, because I will continue holding fast to my internet spaceship worldview.

Some things are not broken and fixing them makes them broken.

Please give us back suitcase.


Let's not. The new icon is better (in my opinion).

That's probably because the briefcase was actually the joke...

that's one of the few things remaining in this game that are not understandable, but what I don't understand is why all the hate towards things people cannot understand.

this game turned from the weird and funky EVE that I loved years ago to this completely logical thing that I'm slowly starting to get bored of every once in a while, then taking a break from it because I don't like the boring logic that makes sense, and then realising there's no other game like it and coming back to EVE. and this repeats every few months.

CCPls gib weird stuff.

I actually like it. The suitcase doesn't make much sense.


The briefcase makes perfect sense if you think about it.

"Damage control" is a PR term for when a spokesman, advertising exec, or campaign manager has to run a series of ads or give speeches to clean up a mess made by a CEO, a corporation, or a politician. People who do "damage control" are typically people who carry briefcases.

Mystery: solved.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

I remember the time when damage control's were worthless modules ^-^

i remember that too, back then they were used to reduce the chance of your modules from becoming damaged, cause if u havent noticed if you been hull damaged your models get damaged too, just the guns though if i remember back then

I Vote YES! for Downloadable HI-RES Textures!!!!
