Now if only it was finally a passive module.

There are a lot of modules where changing the icon makes a lot of sense. The damage control isn't one of them but hey...

That'd be way too forgiving.

It's perfectly fine as active one.
When you forget to activate it, then you should suffer the consequences.




I mean, seriously ... you want CCP to hold the people's hand even with the DCU?

Are, in your world, people that daft that they need it?
Or do you not consider people having at least a bit of attention for it?


Is your outlook on humanity seriously that grim?


In that case, that's actually one more argument AGAINST making it passive.


Stupid needs to go the way of the dodo.



And, btw ... just so you all know ...


... obviously they will change ALL of the modules! :)

The DCU is far too powerful to be made into a passive module without massive nerfs to its effectiveness.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Especially considering that the introduction of Transverse Bulkheads made hull-tanking a viable tactic, any mod that gives that much resistance bonus across the board should never be passive.


In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I remember the time when damage control's were worthless modules ^-^

Exactly. to be made passive, it would need to be brought down to 20% (or less, id be ok with 15%) across the board, and still be limited to 1 Damage control module per hull.

But then again, the kind of people wanting to make it passive probably want to retain the 60% resists, as well as make it add +20% to cargo hold volume and +15% to mining yield...

"suitcase" geez. Doctor's bag, the one he kept the stethoscope in when he'd come to the house. Yes. There was such a thing as "house calls" until doctors made themselves royalty and went for all our money....since they're "gods".

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Ah yes, the passive aggressive revenge against us 'cause they had to go to school for all those years.
We owe them our lives, if it kills us. Doctors. What great people. Wait. My daughter is one.

Agreed, 15%-20% would be about right for passive omni resist modules given that an Invul II is 30% across the board and active

And they'd still complain...

Like a My Little Pony?

Edit because - the DCU, iirc, was intended to be a passive module, but CCP (at the time) didn't have a way of limiting the number of a passive module. They had to make am active module to limit you to one, so they made it a ridiculously low cap cost.

I hope it is a joke. It doesn't grab the eye quickly enough for an emergency module.

Not even once

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

So make it look like a mining laser upgrade?

No, the YouTube logo. ^_^


Dear god no. Imagine the amount of threads GD would have when 5000 miners complain that youtube doesn't work when the module is activated.. not to mention the support tickets..

..and then id be forced to troll the threads, probably saying something like "looks like CCP needs to change the youtube module name to the boohoo module.." and then the ISDs would have to lock them all and then th... you know what, I need to stop right there because im actually talking myself into wanting it to be the youtube symbol.

Player 1) - So, what do you think about this new icon?
Players 2, 4, 7) -Thing should be a passive module.
Players 3, 5, 9) -Frak you! Carebear losers.

Some things are not broken and fixing them makes them broken.

Please give us back suitcase.


I actually like it. The suitcase doesn't make much sense.


Sure it does. You should always bring a suitcase when conducting important business!

I like both the current icon, and the new one. I win either way \o/
