Wow, I'm amazed about how poorly designed the new turret icons are !!!
They looks like some sort of melted mass, and incredibly difficult to figure what the hell they are !
At first glance I scratched my head and said: wow, there's a lot of ores here ! but... no, they aren't pieces of asteroids, but TURRETS !!! mhuahuahuahauhuaa
CCP please roll back to the old icons. Your icon designer made a very poor job.
Probably his moto is "nothig is so bad that I can't make even worse"
Serioulsy... Put the old ones back. For player's sake.

No, it's exactly how it should be. All turrets now fire lumps of coal. The icons are a very accurate representation of this new feature.

If this designer was my employee, surely would surely fire him. Honestly.

Well, I am just happy CCP loves turret users more than the missile lovin' Caldari :)
In all seriousness, I like the new turret designs for all but one... the strip miners are way too dar and blend into the background... not to mention they look a LOT like asteroids. A lot of the time, it's hard to tell what rocks you're mining.

Yeah, the turret graphics are awesome, the icons... CCP you dun goofed. At least add an outline or something, right now it's dark icon against a (typically) dark background.

The item icons are awesome but when the icon appears at a target it's hard to see which target I am shooting at.

The turrets actually on the ships look pretty cool, escpecially the lasers on my legion :D
The item tiles can be a little unclear and hard to distinguish from one another, and the icon you get next to the target tile that tells you what you're shooting at just looks like a blob in most cases. I think they require a little more definition in both cases.

I can understand turrets, but why change the icon of the tractor beam? It was an easily readable icon, and now it looks just like any other piece of rock ( a turret ).

Also is it me, or do the new icons cause "scroll lag" if you try to scroll past them?
Most icons seem to be fine until I scroll down to the "turrets" section of my hanger then its all ...freeeeeeze... load.... move on.

I will ditto quote my response to the exact same post cluttering up the form from an hour ago;
Quote: Why, because you cant see what you know you fitted to the ship, or the verbiage when you hover over it is too hard to read?
I mean really.

while what you say is true, it is not the actual problem. problem is, that in front of a dark background you dont see, which ship your shooting and thats a problem.
@ Lin-Young Borovskova: hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you are stupid.

I guess once I dropped a module in an F-key location I rarely look at the module icon to tell me anything other than "is it running".
But that's me...

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant the icon showing besides the active target when your shooting it, not the one in your ship HUD. Those are a pain to make out before a dark background. When you don't group guns into one single group and shoot different targets, that can be unfunctional.

The guy is right. The new icons sucks. Borovskova, please don't lick the designer's balls in public. Do this in a private room !!!

You just need to look closer. The turrets and their icons are fine.
The only thing I like about Incarna thus far.

Yes, they look way worse than previous versions. Detail and contrast is simply too low, giving a terribad result when scaling down to the "10x10" or so pixels icon by the target. The icons at the shortcut 'sort of' cut it, but they are still rather non-attractive, compared to the old ones.
To the (suprisingly many?) brown noses in here: just because you can figure out what icon correspond to what turret doesn't mean you have to enjoy the look of a grey/black pile of robot poo.

Finally, a thread complaining about the thing that has been bothering me. I like the new turrets, but the icons by your target are terrible. You can't see them clearly and they are so ugly. The image is totally muddy. Have you noticed, by the way, that if you have four modules running on one target and the icon gets smaller, it actually looks better. It's like it's only in the proper resolution when it goes to the tiny version. They should clean them up and put them on a green or red background.

With 425 mm autoguns on my Loki the icons are black.. I mean real black.. So black that when I roll my view to a dark area of space (most of it) I cant see which target I have a turret firing at. I find myself having to hunt down a bright spot in space to center the targets on so I can see where the damn turrets are pointing...
At least give them a bit more.. color.. or something... Minmatar turrets arent working visually atm (icons I mean)

Incredible the number of people playing with crap screens and crap hardware.
I don't have a single of your issues, everything works fine to me. No issues with cq'q ships mods icons or whatever...
Once this thread gets over 80 pages then I'll reconsider my opinion.
