Now, the "any change is a good change" types are probably going to float all up in here and proclaim that if you don't like them, you are just against change. Now that everyone is warned:

Those things look stupid as hell, the current icons work fine and look like missile launchers, those things look like "sails". WTF is wrong at CCP these days?

I'm against the decal being bigger than the button. I like neat buttons. More pop and wow is needed with the d scan. Icons look great as is. Personally see the wasted effort here. But changing icon graphics is safe and easy and so ccp can say "look at what we did" and hide behind it instead of doing something meaningful.

Also been trying to like the new map. It's pretty but sux.
Been trying to get used to new brackets, again pretty but suck.

My understanding is that these are for the new missile modules, right? How can anyone be in favor of a change when these are the first ones?

You do realize those are new icons for modules that currently do not exist, right?

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

I advise making this radar array triangular, rather than the current rectangular form, which isn't very informative, or even recognisable.

...And they all crave one thing - ISK. ¤

I would take them if they just fitted into those buttons, rather than pop out so "massive" (radar, briefcase, sail or letter/cartboardbox, whatever people see they are), compared to other icons next to them...

Not fan of brown color either.

That would also help with things by making the outline & scale clearer, but still - rectangular thingy with no antenna attached doesn't look very radar-like.

Colour is fine. Smile

For clarity -

These are NOT new icons for missile launchers.

They are icons for the new missile modules.

The art in Eve really confuses me sometimes. It wasn't that long ago we had a dev blog that was moving the UI in a certain direction. There were some great points in it, and while I still don't like the neocom icons being one colour, the UI in general is getting better.

This new icon seems to be out of place though. If you look at the example linked above, almost all of the module icons have a 'flat' look. Even the missile and neut that have 3D aspects are so lightly done in terms of perspective, it's hard to really classify them as 3D.

This new one though has so much perspective, it looks like it's popping out of the UI. The mix of 3D icons like this one, and a 'flat' damage control icon right next to it looks really weird. Both of these are recent icons, so it's not a case of mixing old and new. I don't care which 'look' the modules have to be honest, but I'd like to see some consistency.
