In case I haven't said this already, the new icons are terrible, and they should be rolled back entirely.

It is weekend anyway, so the soonest, reasonable timeframe for a member of CCP to post something, would be Monday afternoon, GMT.

The new Eve mini-game: PvPvCCP thread-dec. They're not undocking, hmmmm.... Ingame that has a name. It's not a nice one. I'm waiting for that 'classic icon' option, but my patience has limits. I gave these eye-straino-vision a solid 3+ hours today, doing more than nomming space rocks. Nope, they really do need to go away, or at least give that choice opt-out.

I'm not 'getting used' to a painful skull, right eye socket, and flat out confusion/frustration figuring out what the kludge is what in a rat clearing mission. If CCP pays for Lasic surgery and all follow up appointments, along with pain med fill charges, then I'll fly silent on this. Until then, icons bad, give us a choice since we are paying customers. So far player made ideas for new icons hold more water than what we've had foisted on us.

One two three four, Baron and Serpent Productions declares thread war against C C P Alliance. Willing to cancel it as soon as 'classic icon' choice available. I can be reasonable.

Obligatory post saying I also hate the new icons. Give us an option to use the old ones if we want please!!!

In addition to being able to choose a highlight color (vs. the current hard-coded yellow), it would be nice if you could highlight the background, or the whole row of the overlay, similar to what you can configure for player ships.

Yellow would probably be fine if all the text were yellow, not just the icon.

OK so for any of us who actually PVP and want to quickly and easily identify anything ship related, I have found one viable work around for the current terribad overview situation. I will share here so hopefully others can benefit from it as well.

1. Undock our ship and get safe.

2. Right click your overview menu and open "Overview Settings"

3. Go to the tab for "Appearance" and then to the subtab for "Background" this is where you can set a background color for other pilots. I suggest using the powder blue color that is currently the default for a pilot with a mutual engagement timer bc it is really only used for that and it wont conflict with other background colors.

4. Go to the box for a pilot who shares a mutual engagement timer and change the color for that background from the powder blue color to yellow (or whatever color you want)

5. Then sccroll toward the bottom of the background window. At the bottom you will see choices for all the non alliance and non corp affiliated pilots. They will read things like "Pilot has neutral standing" etc .etc. etc. Check all these boxes and then to the right change all these colors to the light powder blue color.

Once that is done any pilot who is not in your corp, in your alliance, criminal, suspect or mutual engagement timer should then show in light blue.

This will help because now anytime you are on grid with another pilot the background will show light blue for them and they wont get lost in the clutter. Of course use some common sense because my description is very general on how to do this. It wasnt meant to be a tutorial just a suggestion on a workaround.

Test your overview first in some non combat situations just to make sure its all ok.

Hope that helps others who were as frustrated as me. BTW just for CCP - I still hate the icons. And no change isnt ALWAYS good.

Few more security missions and selling junk runs, still not 'getting used' to the physical pain these icons are giving my poor skull and right eye socket. Nope, gimme back my 'classic icons' because this has gone beyond silly to headache inducing. All the corrective vision options I have won't solve this, CCP can by giving that option.

You're about to owe me for a bottle of Excedrin Migraine at this rate. Name brand pain killers are not cheap. Down to one account active, this is cramping researching BPOs style, killing ISK income, and infuriating me that the last reply was a few days ago with a memo of 'get used to them.'

Not. Happening.

Your customers are speaking. An option to use older icon set ASAP PDQ Nowzers.

At least my overview setups are now more elite-pvp after Carnyx.
I've had to at last remove stargates and stations from my standard pvp tab.
