Howdy!

decided it's worth a try, very simple idea - change hull related rigs such as "Transverse Bulkheads" & "Cargohold Optimisation" yes, yes the cargo rig got nothing to do with Astronautic business. So change a visual icon for them for better identification like any other rigs have. Not sure if CCP would bother to assign for them special group in market.

thx

Not enough of them to warrant this besides hull and armor use the same icons in eve just with a very slight color change

yeah but having icon shown something similar to bulkhead, cargo expander or nanofiber is more logical since it's not other than helmeted head or thruster.

simple sulution would be to add more rigs to the hull line since hulltanking is actually a thing now and make hull rigs fall in to its own group

Hmm, seems to me they are grouped by their governing skills, both the icons as well as the market and industry categories. Would you just want the icons changed or the categories/governing skills as well?

But yeah, grouping in Eve can be odd at times. To me e.g. Nanofibers are more of a propulsion upgrade than a hull upgrade. And don't get me started on each missile launcher having its own industry group whereas turrets have 3 in total...
