+1 I'm all for adapt or die, but this isn't some game changing nerf she's complaining about. having options wouldnt really effect anyone else's gameplay other than your own as far as i can see.

These iocns and such might seem great, but some of us like what we had before. It isn't just the new icons for ships and items in space. Many of us liked our old neocom UI. If you want to make these changes CCP, we can understand, but leave us the option to change or not. The old neocom UI and Icons were not something that would of put a stop to future expansion.

Quite simply the new icons are terribad.

The new map is also terribad in many ways.

All these "little things"... Seems that most of the "little things" that are being "fixed" weren't broken in the first place.

Could it be that these little things being constantly fiddled with is some hapless employee of CCP trying to justify their job and salary?

Quit screwing the game up.

I support the overuse of quotations.

I agreee.
Ability to set the icons you want the most, including old icons.

BUT NOT JUST THAT:
ALSO:
-Ability to see combat sites Distance without the need to pass mouse upon them.
-Ability to select combat sites from probing scanner window so camera moves to center them (with camera mode one) for directional scan purpouses.

Starting with one of those 2 extra i'm asking would help a lot for fun in nullsec.

If i'm not mistaken, directional scan was reduced to 14.3 AU, i remember it was 64 AU a while back.


Thank you

Instead of doing things that needs to be done ccp is going to fool with things that works for years.

At least give us an improvment let us choose between the old and the new or more choices.

I couldn't give a flip either way. You look at your overview and target from that. The icons are neat, give some quick information if you're willing to spend 8 seconds looking at the ISIS ship browser to see what is what.

Also, this has been in the works for like 6 months. They released a dev blog about it and said these are the ideas we want to go with. Im thinking there were maybe a dozen pages of replies, both good and bad. Im also remembering that they put this on the test server at least a little bit ago and asked for feedback. WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU WHINERS then? Where are links to your test server feedback posts? Why are you acting like this is the first time you knew these changes were coming!?

If you read dev blogs, you know these changes are coming, if you read the forums at all, you know what changes are coming to Sisi for testing and that they want feedback. So get on the test server, give feedback there and stop the whine fest here!

In 2 weeks, nobody will care/notice what the UI looks like, and I can bet there are alot of vet players (me included) that are happy to look at something other than white boxes and red crosses.

i knew about the changes when they were first proposed. I thought it was cool idea, i still think it is, I thought that the new icons would be added on the same basis of all the other recent UI changes, and be an optional addition. However the icons they replaced the old ones with dont all sit well with me. I like the idea of some of them, but i also like many of the old ones and miss them. sure in a week or too i can adapt, but why should i have too. The UI should be based on preference, because everyone has one. CCP should give the players the choice to edit their Icons in game, like how they can modify their overviews and window layouts to make an interface that is tailored to the individual. wouldnt you agree, having more options on what your UI looks like, be a positive thing to add?

TLDR; if youre too lazy to read
im not whining that the new icons are bad and should be taken away, im asking for the new icons and the old ones with more options on customization. Players deserve to have options, i hope you feel the same :)

Options are always good, however, I have to say, that unlike the horrible monochrome side bar/station UI that's still confusing me more than 6 months in, I could get used to this, or something in this direction.

I mean, lets face it, the different color + signs for enemy ships, didn't actually tell you all that much.
Those icons were a leftover from 2003, when there really were only three ship types you had to know about, frigate, crusier, or battleship.
Times changed a LONG time ago, but the icons did not.

I'm not quite sure those are the best icons they could be, I tried to guess some of them, and nope, some of those are even close to intuitive.
I have a feeling I will adapt here though, this is purely MORE information, instead of less, like certain other UI changes...

Yes please - and make it so you can import UI themes from WoW. I need my DPS meter and custom action bars too. I need those more than my ship icons.

I think we should have the option to switch back, or even customize so for example we can choose what we want to represent what we want, maybe even allow the players to create there own icons in a PNG file/s on the client side in there settings folder, gives the pilots and creative pilots the freedom of choice, or modify the old overview to where if there wasn't an icon before add that to the overview, for example corpse's.

Also please allow us to add bookmarks to the overview as an option, this way we can have them as alignable and warpable signiures, after all we created them.

wake up guys, ccp is only doing politics for young players for quite a while now. if they dont change the way of improving this game, they will loose more and more subscriptions like they now do.
