One day, CCP will fix blob, hisec ganking, power projection, make EVE Crysis-in-space graphics wise.
But before that, they will add a nice modification to the Covert Cynosural Field Generator I icon that makes it different from the normal one.
Yeah, come on guys, it's probably not that difficult. Pretty please? I will love you long time.
(And no, I have not lost anything to pushing the wrong button yet so I don't have a lossmail to link. If I could I would so you all could laugh.) Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet? |

You know, given an upcoming expansion I'll bump this old thread.
Dear CCP. Please whip your art monkeys and at least add a lil' blue tint to one of them. People do fly with both types of cyno onboard and it would prevent fatal work accidents the same way putting "warning: will melt your eyeballs, don't look into it" on a laser device does.
Especially now that we have portable Jam-o-matic 3000 Cynojammers scheduled for production. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet? |

This is not a bad Idea. A blue ring around the edge would work just fine for me. But yeah anything to make them separable. |

I support blue cyno icon for that.

Bump! This needs to be looked upon. I too feel it wouldn't be that hard for the art team to design some fancy new and different icon for the covert cyno. |

Well it really doesn't matter, I suspect CCP has a big UI redesign on the table anyway (going by the Fanfest concept vids - some of those HUDs looked nothing short of amazing compared to space excel) and is hesitant to poke the existing one with a stick due to the upcoming rework.
That said, it's probably not scheduled for Rubicon or the Summer expansion - and that's plenty of time for many, many Cynosural Field Generator I and Covert Cynosural Field Generator I users to die horribly due to work accidents involving said modules. (And this is why insurance on recon ships is so bad - no insurance agent is willing to put money on a ship that may explode due to its pilot pressing the wrong button).
To put it in a suitable equivalent example, imagine you're working at a nuclear missile silo. You are equipped with two buttons: one fires ze missilez, the other explodes your ass. When the time comes, you're supposed to fire ze missiles - but sadly, some government-issue mutton ordered the buttons to be exactly the same in shape and colour. The only difference is a small label that appears after you look at the button for a while - which isn't exactly something you're focused on when **** hits the fan and you need to fire ze damn missilez.
Also replacing those is probably a 20 minute job in whatever graphics design suite CCP uses. I mean, just crank up the blue channel and call it a day if you're replacing it at some point - it may look crap, but at least it'll save lives. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?

blue sounds perfect for the covert cyno icon (like the covert jump portal generator icon) and would be cool if the fired up cyno in space glows more blue after activation !

You know, time's a-tickin' till the expansion and we're getting new covert cloaky toys.
I think this should get kicked to the front page, unless ISD disagrees horribly.
(Or CCP gives us a yes or no. Then we'll politely stop screaming and go away. Unless it's a 'no' then we'll organize a protest. Sadly, since the protest will be composed out of space-ninjas it won't be seen.) Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?

So for one, it's been a while. For two, I heard CCP people were on vacation and probably didn't see this thread.
So off to the front it goes, till it gets drowned by bad ideas and tears. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?

Bump I don't use the cyno, but i think as even if their function is the same, they are 2 different things. So a easy way to tell "Cyno" from "Covert Cyno" would be nice to see, and i don't think it would take too much time to change 1 icon. |

Having watched EVE Vegas presentation last night, I whole-heartedly agree that style of the UI is important. It also seems they do have a revamp coming up.
That said, to hell with integrity and all - the UI is already a glorious Win98-like mess so I doubt making one icon darker or more blue will break things too much. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?

Due to the lack of input and severe intake of terrible ideas, the Union of Ninjas has no choice but to post an ultimatum. A dev shall respond with a "yes! we'll do it! stop screaming already!" or "no! go away!"... or else we'll destroy a kitten.

Random cyno icon trivia:
Did you know that the icon is also shared by Command Processor I module?
Oh come on devs, it's not like you're not watching this forum. Or are you not watching? I mean, with ideas such as "MAKE HISEC SAFER" or "Make cloaks use fuel!" I'd have designated a team of completely blind cats to generate reports instead of watching. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?

Despite our best efforts, we were unable to locate an appropriate kitten. Speculation as to CCP's involvement in securing kittens due to threats of violence will not be posted due to violations of non-rumourmongering rule of the forums but be assured we're speculating wildly.
In other news - bump! Seems Rubicon is probably gold already and they're getting ready to deploy it, but it'd be good to hear out a dev on that matter. Is it Hotdrop O'Clock yet?
