Merely one good example of one of the issues with how "visible" and visually easy to use and recognize the UI is in general. Any push for improvement in this area is definitely worth the effort.

+1, you have my vote, good sirs and ma'ams.

I'd like to see this not forgotten until our CBBros can confirm it's solved

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

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

Dont think CCP cares, nor will care.

Nor the rest of the community, save for the ones affected of course.

Welcome to the real face of Eve.


you obviously didn't notice the FanFest Sign Language thread. I'd say you're wrong.

There seems to be the old trend once more within CCP, to ignore feedback and run with it anyway. Tool tips, neocons, now icons and I'm sure others I have not mentioned. Change is all well and good, but when you have design over function and pride gets in the way of changing that, we have a problem.
I agree.

With regards to CCP, it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend.

The new icons are a joke, you cannot even easily distinguish between cruisers/battlecruisers/battleships anymore.

Similar to the new map; graphically appealing yet not functional at all - except the new icons aren't even graphically appealing.

I agree.

There was nothing wrong with the old system. I never saw any complaints / rage threads being posted about the old Icons.

By the way, OP has my support as well.

Actually, I wanted to see how folks are doing with the new overview icons? Fozziesov is out, folks are getting fights and such, so how are the icons working in a large pvp fight?

legitimate issue well deserving of developer time. good call bringing it up. Something like 1 in 12 men have some form of colorblindness - you can't really pretend it is a minor issue.

Well, in many area's of the game they seem to be wanting to put an emphasis on shape instead of color... so hopefully the issue will be worked on internally.

Overview and in space icons must be a huge hurdle development wise, simply due to the fact that we have such a wealth of different objects (and there can be thousands of them in view at the same time).

Normally you'd make hard to see icons a bit bigger, but that isn't practical in this case, so we'll have to see how they handle it.

With as much work as was put into the new overview icons, it's bad to only go to 90% and call it a day. The final 10% is what makes it work for those using it. Think of the difference between Windows ME and Windows 98SE. The former was 'good enough' and released too early, while the 2nd had the required final work put into it. The overview change feels much this way.

I would also like to express my dissatisfaction with the new icons. What was wrong with the old icons?

I feel like these icons fail at their job of quickly distinguishing things on the overview.

And giving destroyers the old wreck icon? What was the thought process in that? I can't tell you how many times I've been surprised to see a wreck going into warp. Shocked

I am colour blind and the other day I completely missed a frigate on the overview that resulted in me losing an Ishtar, it may also be that I am not fully used to the new icons. Personally I much perfer the old icons.

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

Did anyone produce a mock up of what they really want?

Be far more helpful than words to describe an image.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships
