I don't care what color/convention is used. The bottom line is that overheating should be just as obvious as activating a module and it's not X

Flame animation above the modules being overheated. Make it purple for all I care, just make it obvious.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

i like the idea of different colours.
to help color blind ppl ccp could just make the overload button a bit bigger (not too much) and put a green light to the left and a red light to the right.
something like this

Also, I'd like a real-time update of the overheated module, you only seem to get a good read-out of the amount of damage once the module is taken off overheating..

Makes sense.

Because they still receive damage from the heat after the actual overheating has been turned off.

Agreed.

Also make it so that when a module is flashing and has an image larger than the circle, I can still see the actual heat damage progress. As of now, with those two things, I can't see the damage very well in some cases and not at all in others.

If it hasnt already been said: Yellow for 'imma overheat next cycle' and red for overheating

Something like...

Green > Activating
Red > Deactivating

We did actually discuss not blinking when the module is active and just make it a constant green color since we can already see that it is active with the timer but then again you can hide that timer.

Having different colors when module is going into overloaded and stopping is definitely a good idea though.

Please use something other than color... or something in addition to color. :(

This is a great idea with no drawbacks and would put heat cycles in line with module activations. This is a perfectly simple fix to a frustrating issue.

I say when you overheat the module inner icon shrinks a bit the outer ring expands a little bit more and cycle time line grows much bigger into a circular bar.

It be like smashing a button.

why does it have to blink at all if you deactivate it mid cycle? Just switch to the normal state.

it does not add any information if you think about it.


i would do the following:
green -> will overheat next cycle
red -> overheated
nothing -> normal, or overheated but will deactivate overheat next cycle

simple two staged approach

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
