I love petitions on gaming forum boards. They're almost as good as petitions to the principal in middle school!

There just isn't anything that can be said!

CCP, Please bring it back. Not only is it a piece of EvE, the new icon is decidedly "meh".

Like this post and/or post a +1 if you'd like the old Damage Control Icon back.

There's actually a history of successfull rallying threads.

This, though, as it seems ...
... is none of them.

Who would have thought people actually agree with change.

Can't say it's not unusual ....

Briefcase or not - that's not important. What's important is the new icon clashes with every single other item icon currently in game.

Either roll out the new icon style for majority of the items, or don't touch them.

FC I'm being visually triggered. Send help.

Every other game I've played uses the red cross to signify something that increases your health. Terrible choice of icons here.

Yes it was. Its like an old landmark building gets buldozed to be replaced by something new because of 'new = better hypethehype!'.

Lots of things in EvE dont fit modern day styles. So what? Is it forbidden to remember the history in and of this game in little things such as this icon?

Maybe they could add sort of mod skin, so we could apply to the mod and have our old buddy back!

+1 on new icon. Opinions and all, I don't think there is a single visual change CCP could make that everyone would like anyways.

Prefer the new one. Am ok with the simplified proposal which was a white cross on the simpler blue square background.

CCP could make it look like a chicken for all I care about how the module icons look. As long as each is different and I know what their function is, looks are inconsequential.



+1 for a chicken icon for something

I prefer the new one. My space ships don't need a briefcase. Who's idea was it to use a windows icon for a module to begin with?

Fear not! Soon you'll be able to purchase an item that will permanently apply a suitcase icon to all your damage controls for $35.

Who put the goat in there?
