I agree that the turret icons are terrible. As players, I do not think we need an actual representation of the weapon, just give us a class icon back. Right now its terribad. ========================= Karash Amerius - Operative - Sutoka Fighting Broke - A Eve Online Blog ========================= |

Hate to make Here Here! Posts but this one is terrible.
I mean graphic design 101 is you do not just shrink the object, take a shot, and call it an icon. That went out in 1993.
Black icons on a black background space game. Not one single design or art staff noticed this? That's just pathetic and sloppy from all sides.
You just need one icon for each type in each size. The text does the rest.

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.

Please don't say bull****. It's about usability.

Most icons seem to be fine until I scroll down to the "turrets" section of my hanger then its all ...freeeeeeze... load.... move on.

If with that you can't use properly at least 2 accounts with max settings then I recommend you:
Stop downloading p°rn while you play
Stop watching p°rn while you play
Stop playing fps's at the same time with hack programs on top just to get your doses of head shots
Think about test you connexion or buy another
Stop twiting and using your facecrap/msn while you're playing
To make it clear: stop using 300 stuff in the same time and say non sense stuff on the forums
Even better, biomass your characters give your isk and go away play another game and wine on other forums for silly stuff you don't even have a clue

Edited by: Ghengis Tia on 25/06/2011 14:46:12 More shoddy crap work from CCP. Doesn't anyone at CCP play this GD game?
The avatars in captain's quarters look like zombies compared to their portraits, the friggin' rooms are dark and no light switch to be found (I looked), the ships in the hangars are not to scale, and all the turret icons are, as mentioned above, lumps of coal.
Helmut is bragging about how great Incarna is. From any objective perspective he comes across like a besotted politician who can't see the forest for the trees.
The Maller looks great, but who in their right mind would fly that piece of junk, given its fitting drawbacks?
When my subscription expires, I'm taking a long break. I've played every day for over 4 years and disappointment piled upon disappointment has really soured me on this game.

I've heard the icons look better if you're wearing a monocle. Better go buy one quickly.

After all my flaming on CCP today, I feel the need to stand up for what I believe in even as to contradict what I have previously said.
I like the new turret icons, nice touch. It's an improvement that can further be improved. I hope they're OK to change it, I mean, new icons probably took over 5 months to complete over at CCP.
I digress.

Couldn't have said it better...icons donŠt have to be exactly like the items they represent...actually they shouldn't be
imagine veldspar and other roids, to have icons that looked exactly like they do now in space...

I've noticed this also. If CCP were to redesign the new turret icons for in space, as they have done for their representing market icons, but simply shrunk them a bit, that would fix this little player gripe. In my opinion it would take a little more than a working day to do this if you were designing the icons from scratch, but you have base templates for the icons from the market already done. Why not simply shrink them? Not only is it simple, but it'd be fairly easy and quick to do, given that you already have a base.

i dont have much trouble with the new turret icons, they finaly represent what they look like. Maybe the background could be a little brighter to solve some problems

Get your vision corrected, the turret icon are great.
Or you could learn to read the descriptions. I know it's hard.

Absolutely!
This has been occuring to me every time I scroll through my hangar. Can't do anything but pray that CCP will address this (Fat chance ).

Well, I have a master degree in design and I have to tell you that if you have to READ what the icons are, you FAILED as a designer. The icons looks like a school boy work pretending to be a professional.
They are simply HORRIBLE as icons.
- BAD choise of the background
- Icons are supposed to be a SIMPLE representaion of the required item
- Icons are supposed to be understood AT A GLANCE. If you stare more than 2 seconds looking at it trying fo figure what the hell it represents, you failed as a designer.
So, don't say bull**** my boy.

Not an improvement. They are CRAP. If they spent 5 months doing this s**t they made an epic fail in design

Edited by: Echo Mande on 26/06/2011 16:46:16 The tile icons I can live with, it's the small in-space icons that are IMO horrific and should either be reverted or redone by someone who's an expert on UI design. The new icons should: - be distinguishable at a glance - be clearly visible despite the different backgrounds
The old icons did most of this. Unfortunately neither is IMO the case any more.

Originally by: Tiaen 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.
Sorry, but they look awful. :( They look like black turds now, to be frank (I'm talking about the icons for tractor beams and salvagers now, which are considered turrets now).
I very much like the old icons back, please.

I'd have to agree, they look horrible. Just a big lump of dirt. Now the turrets are absolutely stunning themselves but the icons, yeah definitely need a tune-up.

Turret icons are totally unplayable! Absolutely the worst part of Incarna 1.0. Not being able to tell what turrets are targeted where is horrible. Black, low-res icons on space background = BAD

Couldn't have said it better myself. In addition, the other problem with the icons is that you have to be playing at a very high res with a very large screen to see the details. I play on a 20" at 1440x900, and I can't tell the difference between my turrets and my tractor beam unless I stick my face right next to it, after which I can see the details, but they still look like crap. As someone who likes to design custom icons to go with command shortcuts and batch operations I've created for personal use, I learned this lesson myself long ago. You can't take a large image that's supposed to be seen at high res, and simply smash it down into a 32x32 icon and get good results.

i agree, icons are barely recognizable.
just unrecognizable pixel-goo.
and why do salvager icons look like the turret is wearing an elvis wig?
