There are a few issues with that picture:

* You got safety turned on
* You are doing missions
* You are in a starter corp

Hmm?

Problems solved

you do realize that you would of had this same issue with the old icons right? they where just squares. turn off the debris from overview and your problem is solved.

I was in the same boat as the OP, before the patch I couldn't see them but after the patch they cluttered display until changes by myself were made.

One can customise the overview settings all one likes and it will not fix this problem until one customises the bracket settings, which isn't as straight forward as one would think it would be.

Right click all you like, remove from overview doesn't exist as an option if it is already removed from overview.


ps. After removing them the framerate went from 30-40fps to sittng on a solid 60fps and the gpu usage went from 99% to 55%. This was a lot more difference than I would have expected for a dozen icons.

its called having your overview setup correctly....

Then you just right click on tab, set bracket preferences to the same selected tab setup....presto problem fixed.

You need to set up 2 profiles, one for the overview and one for the in space brackets. They can be set up to show different things.

well, my problem is actually not with how to remove these icons from the overview, but with the fact that there was no need whatsoever to have those objects have icons now when they had none before (yes, they had no icons). for me it was perfect the way it was before the patch is all.

You, sir, need to un-**** your overview.

Fixed an issue where the icon for large collidable objects was not showing and causing the overview to be a little slow.

This was from the patch notes from August 26, fixed overview, ****** display, good trade off?

actually there was and always has been. I had to turn the damn things off every time i redid my overview and ran a site. So there was a bug it seems that got fixed. *shrug* just shut the icon off. why whine about something you can fix in 1 second? took ya longer to make this post tbh.

actually there was not and has never been. that is why i had them in my overview because they had no icons and didn't clog my screen (like others in here have already confirmed) and because i could still select debris for orbitting or whatever purpose.
so, no offense, but maybe you should just stop assuming (that ppl don't know how to set up their overview) and mistake a sarcastic "well done, good job!" threads for whining, as it actually takes longer to reply to those kinds of posts trying to set things straight.

be that as it may, let's just quit the 'drama' and let this thread die i peace...
