I always thought it looked like the first aid kit from Wolfenstein, 'cept it was brown.

Since the icon change is confirmed post-Fool's, I'll throw my hat in the ring as liking the new one.

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.


Personal meaning the entire rus playerbase?

Or is this one of those cases "it doesn't bother me so I don't care"? I'm glad english speaking players can use the module names that CCP introduced when playing the game, but that is not something foreign speaking players can always do, and you would do well to remember that. Which is why in russian a damage control has always been referred to as a suitcase. Armor reps are turnips. Apocs are slippers. Etc. etc.

You can keep the new icon as long as the armor repair icon becomes a turnip. That would be fair.

Yeah, that'd be almost as silly as having a magic health briefcase.

New icon?!

I LIKE IT!

New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.

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

Please give us back suitcase.

The suitcase represents a medical kit. When was the last time you applied a bandaid to your spaceship?


The fact that people associate this with the name medkit but not a god damn toolbox is absolutely ridiculous imo. It's for your ship FFS.

And it's also a medkit. A pretty frickin' standard looking medkit, at that.

I hope CCP makes the icon round instead of square:

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



You easily forget someone being hull tanked like that can not sustain it.

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


Agreed!
I really like it too.

Count me in as liking the icon specifically and the direction generally.

Much more sci-fi.

You assume way too much, I'm well aware of the downsides of hull-tanking, especially with regards to local and remote reps.

On a side note the Orca and several Gallente ships would like a word with you about the viability of hull tanks.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

If they change the DCU icon i will unsub, uninstall, sell my computer, cancel my internet, stop paying the electric bills, sell my house and live out the rest of my life in the woods as a hermit.

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.


Im the only other one in this whole thread that called it a briefcase. *proud*

Probably the same people that use the same medical symbol for thousands of years? And the same religious symbols, and the same characters in language...
