Everyone's calling it a suitcase. I always thought of it as a first aid kit. But anyway, I like change. Keeps the game fresh. Big smile

Logging in and posting here just to make sure my "vote" is on this:

LONG LIVE THE SUITCASE!

Please do not change it, this icon is truly legendary.

Jokes? CCP never jokes.

I wished they were consistent with their first aid symbols!

At this point, anyone who created their account post 2012 should just shut the hell up and let the adults talk.

Let the CCP third string at the Ui again? Looks like crap, makes no sense and you decided to mess with the ONE iconic module (how many times do we see "Damage Control activated" on threads) that is universally recognised?

Please for the love of the game just concentrate on trolling nullsec kthxs.

At this and any other point, maybe anyone with a pre 2012 account should shut the hell up and be a fossil somewhere else.

Suitcases were gone with the Moa.

Stop The Blasphemy and leave me my comfort icon. It's literally the one module fitted to almost EVERY pvp ship ever flown in this game. Activated at nearly every system jump in. This icon, well it's iconic of eve online.






Do you think one day they will sell module "SKIN" to make it look like it always as before this next update?

Looks a lot better, the new one.

Sounds like a bad design of a compulsory module.

Icons need to be redesigned, i like them as they are now but i understand that it is necessary to keep the game visually up to date.

The way ccp is doing it is just wrong. You did it with the neocom icons and tears were shed and now you are doing it again.

REDESIGN ALL ICONS AND PUSH THEM OUT IN ONE RELEASE

The new icon is not bad but it stands out among all those familiar ones in the hud.

I love both DCU icons - the old and the new one - because of a small detail.

I often read around on sites like reddit (plus others) and when it comes to the topic USA I always hear/read the crowd "USA USA USA".Tthe DCU now is my reminder that you don't have to be big to leave your footsteps in history. This fact even applies to EVE...

When you look at the icon you will find the red cross painted on it. This symbol was created to honor the founders of the movement (Henry Dunant, Gustave Moynier). Actually it's the inverted flag of Switzerland. Both founders came from .CH and the movement was founded in Geneva (.CH).

So while earth and all countries ("USA USA") are history, the Swiss are still here - on the DCU. Cool

2003 player here. I like the new Icon.

'Tradition' and similar words are a cancer on creativity and design, things should be kept the way they are just because of nostalgia and tradition/what people are used too.

I like the new Icon, I think it's better and I'm glad to see pretty much all the graphical improvements to eve.

I don't personally agree with them all, but I accept that everyone has their own opinion and whilst you may suddenly find your favourite ship gets an overhaul that means you don't like it anymore, it doesn't mean it's a bad change.

Personally I do not care what Icons look like as long as they are easy to spot what they represent when you are in a hurry.

In that light the new icon when seen on my fitting window or on the HUD is a grey- blue blob with a very small white splat in the middle.

It has no definition or shape and I cannot understand how people are seeing a red cross in the middle, except when I look at the original posters image!

Overall just make the Red Cross & White background a bit larger to help delineate the parts.

Next time it might be worth trying your new icons out at different UI Scales and check they still look good and are understandable.

This icon just looks weird.

And is hard to see.

Makes little sense, like many of the icons on the neocom. So I suppose it's consistent that way..

I like it.
It actually looks like a module and I hope all the other icons follow it's art style.

No, this is not a joke.

Icon art, like all other elements of EVE's graphics and UI, is always on the table for review. As it happens, replacing the "suitcase" with something that better fits the theme of EVE has been on various to-do lists, as I understand it, for several years.

I admit that the first time I ever fit a damage control I spent a few seconds scratching my head trying to figure out "Why a suitcase?" before shrugging and fitting the module.

No, don't take this change to mean that all your module icons will be changing in the immediate future. This one's a one-off. That's not to say that module icon art may not change in the future, but this one change isn't part of a bigger overhaul.



So it's unironically terrible ?

NICE!
