Looks a lot better than a suitcase from a bad 80's movie.

I really am wondering if we will get this for every module now.
I mean the thread. CCP are overhauling ALL the modules to this.

What will the galente replica cruiser look like? :O

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

Hu?
It's not an emergency module.
It's the module you should activate FIRST!

The illuminati/freemasons did it, therefore it lasts centuries.

Once again CCP is out of touch with their playerbase.

The suitcase icon is integral to the russian-speaking playerbase.

You don't change the icon for a module that is almost exclusively referred to by its icon, and not by name.

But it's ok. Let's just change it!1 I'm sure no one will mind.

That's the first good point this thread has spawned.

I doubt it has that much of an impact, though, besides ...

... HAS ENDED!

Hey I can't find the suitcase in the market search. What's the actual name?

And that's why changing the icon doesn't matter, your personal idiosyncrasies notwithstanding.

Or keep it active, but at least have the option to auto activate certain modules after every jump trough gates. So annoying to keep turning everything on.

And to not seem to look like I always do it ...
... I never counted the amount of times I forgot the DCU before I initiated a gank at a gate.

It's always the same. Although I have a strict procedure,
that is always the same when I undock,
I still sometimes managed to forget the DCU because of a distraction.

Most of the time it's chatting. Actually, absolutely most of the times I died,
it was because I was chatting while in space.

So that means we should nerf chatting,
because obviously it's what distracts me from staying alive.

As I, like everybody else around (at least that's the world some people seem to live in),
am just a mindless robot who can not initiate a conscious thought or action ...
... or hell ... learn to pay attention ...
... we need to change the game to hide my lack of conscious thoughts.


Passive DCU ... sheesh ......... HandHolding V.

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

It was intended to be a passive module when it was revamped from increasing module survival chance but they couldn't make it work as such (armour and shield compansation skills perhaps?) and so it was made practically passive (1GJ per 30s).

To make it a passive module therefore generally would be a question of technicality rather than balance.

Just because you guys can't tell it wasn't a suitcase doesn't make it one.

Whew! Too much coffee today.

In any case, I'm fine with the new icon.

Mr Epeen Cool

It never even looked like a suitcase anyway, it looked like a briefcase.
For some reason people can't tell the difference.

Anyway, add me to the list of people who like this new icon.

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

Please give us back suitcase.



Suitcase was fun and iconical... But the new one fits better.
