.Replace icons for letters.
Oh hell no.
You may not like the new system but this would be far worse IMO.
Well, yeah. In hindsight, it would make it too easy :)
Sure, 'cause alphabet soup on your screen is a good thing, right?
Better than a shape sorting game for 2 year olds

Matter of taste, I suppose.

I'm actually starting to like the new system, after spending some time on sisi and getting used to it a bit.

I take your Homeworld 2 and raise a Starfleet Command.
On my mind, its quite simple. So simple that its ugly.
Replace icons for letters.
P = Pod
S = Shuttle
F = Frigate
D = Destroyer
C = Cruiser
BC = Battlecruiser
BS = Battleship
DN = Dreadnaught
CR = Carrier
SC = Supercarrier
T = Titan
I = Industrial
Very ugly, yes, but you cannot say thats inneficient. I give you a "BS" and a Pentagon. Which would you naturally asume means "Battleship"?
It would arguably be better than what's on Sisi now, but still worse than the NPC icons still on TQ. With the old NPC icons, you can instantly see the general fleet composition at a glance, without looking at the individual icons. With letter codes, it's just going to be letter soup. Add to that the horrible readability of the Eve font, and the fact that letter codes won't even stand out against other alphanumeric data (distance, speed, name, etc).
I also wouldn't say that Homeworld icons are much better, for the purpose of using them in Eve overview. They're just a bunch of geometric shapes that will look roughly the same size and hard to distinguish when shoehorned into the tiny square reserved for an overview icon.

I like the new ones, the only issue I have with them is the color, I want my red back for rats and such.

That bug was fixed in the most recent build and I think the new Icons are starting to look real nice.
Player Icons
Rat BS and Destroyer/Frigate Icons
Rat BS and Battlecruiser/Cruiser Icons

Nope, they still look like random polygons and you have to stop and look at a specific one to tell if it's a cruiser or battleship. Will be much worse if there's a lot of stuff on grid.

The new system is ot only easier to use, but it looks cool. Now I just want to see an option to switch in between old and new stuff. I mostly prefer new stuff, but having the option always works for me, such as when the new stuff breaks or the old stuff is easier for me to use.

All they needed to do was squish the cruiser diamond into a "UFO shape" and turn the BS pentagon into a "house shape" to distinctly tell them apart. I'm betting hell will freeze over before they commit that sacrilegous act, since it goes against the polygon rules. |
