EVE General Discussion

Interface should be fully customized by the users! In the end the icons and graphics are just
images that sit user side and are displayed. So why in the name of Eve gods there is not
an option to set user defined graphics and use this dictatorial approach all the time ?

I find it strange that people seem to think that the order of release alone is actually indicative of priority. The only way one could conclude that a single icon is of greater priority than say the hires texture pack because it came out first is to assume that each task must be worked on exclusively.

Why change the BCU icon? It makes no sense.

The dmg mod for turrets is a picture of a generic turret...the drone dmg amp is a pic of drones...and the old BCU is, you guessed it, a picture of a launcher. This scheme makes sense. It is in no way broken

The same scheme follows for the "Tracking Computers"....the little radar dish thing just doesn't fit the currently well functioning theme.

Again, change for change sake with no regard for the function of the form.


If they have Art Department teams that are so desperate for work that they do this ridiculous crap...then maybe its time to re-allocate funds from the art department and towards parts of the game that are direly broken still. That is the issue.

Or maybe just having missiles mods just share one set of icons with a few modifiers. The antenna array is kinda fitting anyway.

I take it that CCPs only objective is to kill this game.

WHY NOT ADD NEW CONTENT INSTEAD OF CHANGING THINGS THAT DONT NEED CHANGING!!!!!!!

no, icons wont kill Eve, CCP not having a clue what they are supposed to be doing will kill it.

How would you use another missile launcher to improve the damage of your missiles and the rate of fire of your existing missile launchers?

So fire the art guys because there are areas other than art that you feel could use improvement? If you're trying to make reasoned proposal, you are failing. There are plenty of visual improvements that others are asking for, V5++ which was just released that vastly improved the way some ships look, skins, remodels and other things they are doing which a large number seem to appreciate on top of new assets surrounding gameplay changes.

And really, unless you are suggesting no new ships, effects, structures or general visual improvements, no, you aren't doing without anything artistic. And all this over a task that could have been done in a single person's downtime most likely.

Someone get the meds.

No not those, the horse tranquilizers, this situation calls form some serious **** !

Score another one for top level amazing QA they constantly claim they have... you know, because why test something when you can patch it later?

The turret icons are simple representations of turrets, plain and simple, they modify turret weapons stats... so why can't the launcher mods plainly and simply represent launchers? If they really want to go for realistic'ish modern day missile modification equipment, I'm pretty sure all the fancy modern day turrets use just as much radar etc as the missles do, so those weapon mods should be radar/satellite dishes as well right? Heck even the drone mods look like drones... they really need to get their ducks in a row on keeping with some themes/stylings and completely breaking others.

Thats the crux of the issue... we understand artists can't do core game work, but if you are running out of work for artists that you fall back on these unrequested and poorly done changes... maybe they should look into re-appropriating funds to getting more core game developers to fix badly needed game issues.

Anyone else remember when CCP thought that making ALL of the turret icons 100% accurate to their model in game? Yeah that worked out great, only took 5 months before they realized that simple cartoon'ish old icons where 1000x better and effective.

I would go the extra steps like usual and post up a reasonable comparison of all the current weapon upgrades and why they make sense as compared to these new ones, but CCP won't care and it would be wasted time on my part trying to tell them they are breaking away from the standard theme for everything else in the weapon upgrades modules groups.

Good thing all 3 of my accounts are already scheduled for termination in a few weeks so I won't have to put up with this "crap" anymore. If CCP is in fact trying to think their ranks of older players, it is definitely working, player count has been consistently dropping for quite a while now.
