CCP Claymore

So any chance to use old ships and npc icons?
Or to customize them as per old one for all ships classes? - shiny squares and shiny red crosses

As you can see most of the ppl wants them. Pls reply

nice, the thicker stroke on icons sounds like a really big improvment, will logon to sisi and have a look

EDIT: when u do the line thicker try to make it so the line under the triangel in destroyer/bc gets lower so the gap gets bigger = easyer to see that there is a line under the triangel

Yes that can be customized, they can change color to counter colorblind issues and icone / background color are easily reckoning.

But as you can see in this picture i've just made, "teal" is quite close to white for them, i'm not sure they gonna be able to make a difference "at-a-glance".
I'm just asking directly to them.
I might be wrong, CCP will need feedback anyway. :)

I've noticed though, that shades of blue is quite good even with colorblind problem, so, i don't know.. i'm just asking to them. :)

What about the mess with cruiser, dread and battleship icon?
Dread looks still like a cruiser and battleships like half a titan....

Might I suggest visiting the Color Blind Awareness Organization.
They have interesting comparison charts which, if I may suggest, would be handy to keep on file for all art and graphic designers to reference:

Personally, two friends of mine suffer 2 of the 3 types of color blindness.
The one suffers the most common "deuteranopia" ("red/green" color blindness) which means any color that includes red in it, is "subtracted" in some (or all) level. I've noticed he completely thinks red is brown. He also has mentioned that vegetation is "a mustard brown or yellow" and the "sky is a deep blue".
The other friend has "protanopia" (a slight variant of "red/green") where, oddly, she describes that, on some days the sky is "blue" (to her) but on other days where the sky is tinted/stormy (or dawn/dusk), she has described the sky as "a little like a pink day"...

It "appears", in my experiences and studies, that the most common color that will be seen by "most" will be a variant of blue. There are always exceptions, but in my graphic design jobs in the late 90s, it was imperative to focus on "pure" greens, reds and blues. I am hoping things have changed since then, but even back in '98, I had a program that was able to (at a simple keystroke) switch my entire monitor through various color blindnesses so that I could "see" what colors of things which a company/client wanted to be "highlighted" (or "stand out") to the largest group of potential customers had to be a "commonly shared" color of distinction from the rest of the text/shapes/colors etc.

It's been awhile, and I forget the hexadecimal code, but the best color was somewhere in the blue wavelength areas of the visible light spectrum.

I'm sure there are advances in programs for graphic designers using both RGB and CMYK color preparations on computer monitors these days, but it is a rather basic filtration system program that barely takes up space.

I hope this helps.

What is not 'true' ?
I'm saying so many things.

"Teal is close to white" don't mean "Teal is white".
The image i show is accurate, that's a color filter used in graphics to precisely see what colorblind people would see.
I know the filter can't be 100% accurate cause each and every colorblinds have their own strength but it gives an idea to the designer.
I might even add that colorblind people can distinguish more shades in yellows and blues that we not-colorblind people see because they live with and learnt to.
Just like Greenland true people would see way more shades in the whites than us.

I'm agree, best thing would be to have RGB sliders, but as i said before, since they took that away from us with the UI re-vamp, i'm afraid it won't happen anytime soon, if ever.

So best thing is to ask them if this teal tint on NPC is changing anything at all or not.
My belief is, i might be wrong, that in the heat of a battle, if ever it happen near friendly NPCs, this 'teal tint' might be too 'light' for them to distinguish from white shapes clutter. (even if that's light grey more than white, anyway)..

Yes that's how i understood CCP Claymore.

This looks a lot clearer :)
Although I dont think we will see all that many npc capsules :)

Yes, that's what i was saying as well, it depends a lot of the environment, in space (mostly black background) mixed with other brackets / color tags (corp/alliance/engagements), targetting boxes, etcetera, it might be to light to distinguish the difference for them.
Same difference between my example and your pencils = environment matters.

I can't wait to have their feedbacks when it comes live on SiSI ! :)

Cruisers/Battlecruisers and Battleship icons should be swaped.
