As I can read in the Feedback thread from the sisi Forum, I see, that most peoples don't like the new Icons. I don't like them as well

There is simply no Need for changing the Icons, as the current ones work fine. It is also the case, that the old ones have been out now since 2003 and changing them would make life hard for older Players.

My Suggestion:

like you did for the new map, add a new tab in the overview Settings, called "Icons", where you can Change the Icons to the old ones. For new Clients and new Players, the new Icons are Standard Settings.

i'm REALY miss the old stuff.

People will always be adversed to change.


HAving an option to change to the olds or keep the new ones however doesn't seem like a horrible idea

They will never allow us to have that option. Seen this way too many times and pride tends to get in the way.

We'll get what they want and like it. But one thing should be followed, keep it simple. I think things are way too over complicated atm.

OP, this falls right in line with the changes they made to the neocom icons and the color palletes. None of it was needed, many people were against it, but CCP went right ahead and did it anyway.

Your cries to CCP fall on deaf ears.

You can turn Icons off in tab columns, Ive always gone by name anyways whether i was calling fleet primaries, broadcasting a warp to, warping myself, doing anything PVE or PVP really. If its too hard to adjust to icons you can try getting used to going by Name / type, much smaller step

♣ Small Gang PVP, Large Fleet PVP, Black Ops, Incursions, Trade, and Industry ♣ 70% Lethal / 30% Super-Snuggly / 110% No idea what im doing ♣

Exactly, it was never old = good, new = bad.
It is about the lack of colors on the icons which goes against all logic of UI development.

Someone on the dev team said, ah screw this and just rolled with symbols that I could draw in 20 minutes tops. Roll

Edit, noticed its about the overview icons, OP should clarify.
