I would like the ability to change the Icon graphic to any of the Icons available (Star, Skull, Flashing Skull, Minus Sign, Plus Sign, Equals Sign, Target, Chat Box)


As a colour blind player, only being able to change the icon colour is not good enough when I need to distinguish between players in my overview and local. I am specifically referring to War Targets sharing the same icon as Corporation, Alliance, Militia, Allies and Fleet members. All other hostile or potentially hostile targets are marked with a Flashing Skull, Skull or Minus Sign, yet very hostile War Targets are marked with a friendly Icon.

Having recently entered my first war, I am having extreme difficulty distinguishing between "Hostile" and "Friendly" Star Icons, no matter what colour background I give them. Having the ability to change the War Target Icons to something other then the same icon used for friendlies would be incredibly helpful.


PS: Being able to open the overview settings in station would be awesome too! (I had to sit in space risking my pod/ship trying to figure out how to make War Targets distinguishable from corp members, and of course, I can't lol)

There is a shortcut you can set to open the overview settings from inside the station.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Thank you!

Now hopefully we can get changeable Icons! For now I have had to set every friendly as Light Blue and the War Targets as Yellow, the most contrast I can get, but its still a pain Sad and now I cant see the difference between Corp/alliance/militia members lol!
