I totally agree. It's not like Destroyers -> Interdictors or Battleships -> Black Ops represent significantly different capabilities you might want to know about or anything.

The new icons don't, as you say, even meet their (quite modest) stated goals.

Love the changes tbh. However what is currently lacking IMO is color schemes for the various new icons. I would like to change and have a custom setup to my liking. Such as changing a Federation Customs ship icon to green in space, in my overview, or both for instance.

CCPs screwups.

1) Assuming everyone uses nice big monitors and 100% scaling. Shows how out of touch they are.

2) INABILITY to change font size for char names and overview. (The screwup over font changes the FIRST time was the reason many went to 90%. CCP never revisited the font changes) - :edit: added explaination

3) REUSING OLD icons as NEW icons. Leading to confusion (Why am i being shot by mobile depots?)

4) Not publishing the new icon set in advance and in a big enough format to be readable. When your PLAYERS have to fix YOUR screwups... it makes you look like idiots.

In short #icongate just proves to me that you are still as bad at handling change as you have always been.

I had been hopeful of the new POS and Sov changes. I'm seriously reconsidering in the light of the UI screwup.

So i will not hold my breath for those changes. (And to those of you idiots who shouting HTFU, Learn, Adapt. I leave this message... When CCP screw up YOUR section of the game and you rage. Can I have your stuff?)

Why CCP, why can you NOT learn from your mistakes and missteps with excessive violence by the community.

Why can you not understand that when you mess around with one of the core parts of the gaming experience for no other reason that you need to find make work for your art team that WE the players are going to get angry.

Who in their right mind allowed this to go live, ignoring the masses of feedback from Sisi (oh look anther build on the test server, lets just IGNORE the test feedback.).

How long is it going to be until you wake up and smell the roses. The new icons are a mistake, badly implemented (mainly because none of you PLAY the game anymore) and rushed out with the same blatant disregard for your customers that cause the Incarna riots.

Is that what we have to do to make this issue real for you? Do we have to go to all the social media and games media and get the issue across a wider audience so that others can see what a **** up CCP is? Is that what you want CCP, do you really want to be at war with your customers and main income stream. BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE HEADING.

Please reconsider, personally I do not mind a well thought out and implemented iteration of the previous icon set. It was simple, slimline and easily identifiable. The new set is not, by your own admission.

On a totally seperate note, don't admit to psychological profiling of your customers. If anything that deserves a slap for each and everyone of you involved. Most of us are not 13 year old kids, we understand and react as adults. Start treating us as such or all you will be left with are the preteeners.

About the less important suggestions for the overview:
- Inner-border glow for the next gate in the autopilot?
- The ability to have multiple overview windows? Would love to have a main overview window 5 lines shorter, with a GTFO overview window always open, right below it, with only 5 lines high.
- Different icons between cynos and NPC beacons?
- More than five overview tabs?
- A better way to change bracket settings than right clic and navigation to countless submenus? (I was thinking something along the line of three "bracket slots" pre-filled by the user. Three small square buttons on the top right corner of the overview window, with one always on. You clic on these buttons to enable the bracket profile assigned to that button instantly.

Great devblog.

I am however sad that it doesn't mention the POS module icons.
Pre-Iconpocalypse, you could quickly see the difference between an ECM battery and a Neuting battery.
Post-Iconpocalypse, they got the same icon.

I feel that the decision to give several, very different, POS modules the same icon, where they had different icons before, goes directly against your design goals? How can this be?

Revert to the old Icons. Can't tell squat about stuff with the new ones. I got attacked by a fleet of wrecks the other day. WTF
Why did we have to change all of the icons for no good reason? Drone icons look pathetic. Did you play test this at all?
Did you bother to listen to the feedback from SISI....oh wait you didn't.
Could you have phased things in slowly so people could learn what things were a few at a time at least?
No mass change overnight. I go from completely understanding just about everything around me to no idea what is going on.
I even get it there is some sort of logical basis to the new icon set. That doesn't mean anything to the people actually playing.
My corp is again dying off due to CCP killing their fun. Multiple people are unsubbing.
My 6 accounts are down to 2 and will eventually drop to 1 and then maybe none.

too angry to post right now..

we are hateful because CCP

1) introduces stuff
2) gets plenty of feedback
3) ignores all feedback, publishes stuff to TQ
4) gets even more negative feedback
5) ignores that too
6) flips us all a big proverbial finger

we happen to pay for this stuff, and what we get is shite quality product that fails to deliver. And this happens time, after time, after time.

This very DevBlog proves that they are NOT at all ignoring feedbacks.
If your feedback is : "I don't like new icones, please change back to old ones, or at least give us an option to turn the old one on".
Then i'm glad they don't listen to this.
