It's perfectly fine as active one. When you forget to activate it, then you should suffer the consequences.
I mean, seriously ... you want CCP to hold the people's hand even with the DCU?
Are, in your world, people that daft that they need it? Or do you not consider people having at least a bit of attention for it?
Is your outlook on humanity seriously that grim?
In that case, that's actually one more argument AGAINST making it passive.
Stupid needs to go the way of the dodo.
And, btw ... just so you all know ...
... obviously they will change ALL of the modules! :)

Exactly. to be made passive, it would need to be brought down to 20% (or less, id be ok with 15%) across the board, and still be limited to 1 Damage control module per hull.
But then again, the kind of people wanting to make it passive probably want to retain the 60% resists, as well as make it add +20% to cargo hold volume and +15% to mining yield...

Dear god no. Imagine the amount of threads GD would have when 5000 miners complain that youtube doesn't work when the module is activated.. not to mention the support tickets..
..and then id be forced to troll the threads, probably saying something like "looks like CCP needs to change the youtube module name to the boohoo module.." and then the ISDs would have to lock them all and then th... you know what, I need to stop right there because im actually talking myself into wanting it to be the youtube symbol.

I never counted the amount of times I forgot the DCU before I initiated a gank at a gate.
It's always the same. Although I have a strict procedure, that is always the same when I undock, I still sometimes managed to forget the DCU because of a distraction.
Most of the time it's chatting. Actually, absolutely most of the times I died, it was because I was chatting while in space.
So that means we should nerf chatting, because obviously it's what distracts me from staying alive.
As I, like everybody else around (at least that's the world some people seem to live in), am just a mindless robot who can not initiate a conscious thought or action ... ... or hell ... learn to pay attention ... ... we need to change the game to hide my lack of conscious thoughts.

It was intended to be a passive module when it was revamped from increasing module survival chance but they couldn't make it work as such (armour and shield compansation skills perhaps?) and so it was made practically passive (1GJ per 30s).
To make it a passive module therefore generally would be a question of technicality rather than balance. |

Or is this one of those cases "it doesn't bother me so I don't care"? I'm glad english speaking players can use the module names that CCP introduced when playing the game, but that is not something foreign speaking players can always do, and you would do well to remember that. Which is why in russian a damage control has always been referred to as a suitcase. Armor reps are turnips. Apocs are slippers. Etc. etc.
You can keep the new icon as long as the armor repair icon becomes a turnip. That would be fair. |

Maybe this suggestion several years late :)
When I registered this acc (2 years ago), "suitecase" had been already used as main name for DCU. And not only as name, community converted it to our own meme "to suitecase" - when someone defends his point of view. (like I try to defend suitecase image now. I'm suitecasing it). When he does it too hard others can say: "stop overheating your suitecase".
Even more, in some cases this meme went outside of the game. Some IRL friends of russian capsulers understand this meme or use it, even if they don't play EVE.
Removing suitecase from DCU icon is a clear damage to our atmosphere, to our culture. It became part of it.

Make the new DCU icon a matryoshka doll, to appease the Russians. It kinda makes sense too, since the DCU gives you multiple layers of defense. Though, the resist numbers get bigger as you go down, with the smallest bonus on the outside. So it's kind of the opposite. It's like a matryoshka doll built with TARDIS technology. Or something.

this game turned from the weird and funky EVE that I loved years ago to this completely logical thing that I'm slowly starting to get bored of every once in a while, then taking a break from it because I don't like the boring logic that makes sense, and then realising there's no other game like it and coming back to EVE. and this repeats every few months.

"Damage control" is a PR term for when a spokesman, advertising exec, or campaign manager has to run a series of ads or give speeches to clean up a mess made by a CEO, a corporation, or a politician. People who do "damage control" are typically people who carry briefcases.

No, this is not a joke.
Icon art, like all other elements of EVE's graphics and UI, is always on the table for review. As it happens, replacing the "suitcase" with something that better fits the theme of EVE has been on various to-do lists, as I understand it, for several years.
I admit that the first time I ever fit a damage control I spent a few seconds scratching my head trying to figure out "Why a suitcase?" before shrugging and fitting the module.
No, don't take this change to mean that all your module icons will be changing in the immediate future. This one's a one-off. That's not to say that module icon art may not change in the future, but this one change isn't part of a bigger overhaul.

And that's why changing the icon doesn't matter, your personal idiosyncrasies notwithstanding.
Personal meaning the entire rus playerbase? Or is this one of those cases "it doesn't bother me so I don't care"? I'm glad english speaking players can use the module names that CCP introduced when playing the game, but that is not something foreign speaking players can always do, and you would do well to remember that. Which is why in russian a damage control has always been referred to as a suitcase. Armor reps are turnips. Apocs are slippers. Etc. etc. You can keep the new icon as long as the armor repair icon becomes a turnip. That would be fair.
if you cant understand what the name of a module is how on earth do you understand what it does?

you wouldn't believe: i don't most of words CCP used to name ships in Eve Online. Just recently i have googled word "Vulture" to learn what this word mean. And i had hard time trying to understand why people whined about name of new caldari T3 destroyer. For me its name looks like one more word i don't care about.
And still i know ships, i can use them and it's ok for me.
The same with modules: i don't care what means word 'ancillary' in 'ancillary shield booster'. I just know what it does and i recall its name LITERALLY. The same was with microwarpdrives before CCP changed their names to 'Limited, etc...'. There was pretty funny names which i never was able to speak what they mean. And still i used microwarpdrives like every other modules.

You guys missed the boat on that opportunity to "fix" it. The suitcase is already iconic. You can't just completely change the icon to something entirely different now.
As I mentioned earlier, it is the red cross symbol that doesn't fit. Take the current "Fix" icon, remove the red cross, and put *that* image on the side of the suitcase.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

Back when I was even more bad at EVE than I am now, I though the damage control was a "cooldown" type of module because damn did it look like it was powerfull. I mean 60% resist to structure + 10% to armor + some to shield too? If this does not look like an emergency "I need my **** to hold just a little bit longer" button, I don't know what it is.
Then I realised it could be perma-run... I sent 50 million ISK (It was a big deal to me back then) to the poster who made me realize that.

If I were being calm and merely stating my opinion, yes I would've have meant "shouldn't."
But I was being passionate about my opinion and love for the game, and used the stronger term.

"Always bring a suitcase" Has become a staple saying amongst players and as a way to teach new players what they should fit on a ship. The current Icon is so Iconic that changing it to anything other than a nicer looking suitcase is a both a greater design and cultural oversight. It also doesn't help that the proposed icon doesn't do anything that you wish to fix with the old one, It shows nothing of what it might do or what it affects and looks very jarring as well with the off color combinations. All in all I, and Im sure many other people feel that this new icon is a step back from what we currently have, a iconic module with a unique and very obvious image that can relate to its function once it is understood.
In all honestly the thing the new image screams to me is triage... It would make a really awesome triage module. |

Amazing that so many couldn't figure out it isn't a suitcase, it's an Eve version of a medical kit. 
"Damage Control" on ships is similar to "Triage" in the medical field. The medical field uses a medical kit.
But yeah, the new icon is cool.

The idea of the image as a suitcase matches the "first aid kit" aspect of the modual. (http://www.graphicsfuel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/first-aid-kit-icons.jpg)
In almost every case of artistic review the spirit of the original has been upheld. In this case, you have taken one of the most iconic icons in the game (so much so that it is referred to by "suitcase" instead of DCU) and removing the most iconic part of it.
Chances are in 6 months no one will care about this, but I for one think there are far better icons to change. Please let us keep the suitcase. I will feel... unprepared without it. . . . . . . . . also, make it passive ;-P

in recent years CCP have done everything they can to make EVE logical to the point of it becoming very boring. looking at weird things used to be fun, I remember the old turrets and how they looked badass. now some autocannons look like they're taken out of reality and not science fiction, and laser turrets look like potatoes with bits of metal and LEDs stuck in them.
The one last weird thing (that I can think of right now) is the briefcase icon of the Damage Control. I log on to Singularity once in a while and that icon just doesn't feel right. it looks a lot more like an Intel CPU than a module that has anything to do with damage control. In the mean time, on TQ I know my fits are complete and made just right when there is a briefcase in the fitting window. because when there is a briefcase, you know everything is going to be fine.

Yeah, when docked I'm always like w(here)tf is the icon for the fittings window again? 
As for the new DCU icon, it's very pretty and falls completely out of the current style for fitting icons (it's 2D) but maybe that's intentional. |

No, don't take this change to mean that all your module icons will be changing in the immediate future. This one's a one-off. That's not to say that module icon art may not change in the future, but this one change isn't part of a bigger overhaul.

I always thought of the original suitcase as the Clark Kent/Superman suitcase. Clark kept his Superman suit in it, and you'd see that suitcase often when Clark was about to become Superman. Thus it is analogous to damage control function.

That's not to say that module icon art may not change in the future, but this one change isn't part of a bigger overhaul. You guys missed the boat on that opportunity to "fix" it. The suitcase is already iconic. You can't just completely change the icon to something entirely different now. As I mentioned earlier, it is the red cross symbol that doesn't fit. Take the current "Fix" icon, remove the red cross, and put *that* image on the side of the suitcase.
Screw the suitcase... I love the new icon! Pleasantly surprised when I saw it. One of the best changes ever! The suitcase never bothered me, who cares, damage control is an awesome module. However, I have to agree with CCP on this one. The suitcase makes no sense. You're not a battlefield medic running to sew together a wounded solider. It's a piece of technology in your ship.

So are we going to see Armor modules (the armor helmet) changing as they are not spacy enough?
Have to admit I am not happy to see the icon changing due to the Eve cultural references "Always bring a suitcase" as stated by others already. If it was not for that I would not really mind, it looks good but not to take away from what the art department have done, it looks more like something that should be an icon for a CPU style module if I'm honest. (its the outer square that does that I think)
I also just don't understand the (recent?) trend of making everything in EvE space like. did we not come from planets? so surly some ground references would make it over to the space community? also it kind of made EvE a bit different because of somethings not really making 100% sense (such as floating sign's warning of the presence of the sign)
Just my opinion at the end of the day but will be interesting to see what the wider player base thinks when this is rolled out, as we all know that not everyone comes on the forums a lot.

I love both DCU icons - the old and the new one - because of a small detail.
I often read around on sites like reddit (plus others) and when it comes to the topic USA I always hear/read the crowd "USA USA USA".Tthe DCU now is my reminder that you don't have to be big to leave your footsteps in history. This fact even applies to EVE...
When you look at the icon you will find the red cross painted on it. This symbol was created to honor the founders of the movement (Henry Dunant, Gustave Moynier). Actually it's the inverted flag of Switzerland. Both founders came from .CH and the movement was founded in Geneva (.CH).
So while earth and all countries ("USA USA") are history, the Swiss are still here - on the DCU.  |

2003 player here. I like the new Icon.
'Tradition' and similar words are a cancer on creativity and design, things should be kept the way they are just because of nostalgia and tradition/what people are used too.
I like the new Icon, I think it's better and I'm glad to see pretty much all the graphical improvements to eve.
I don't personally agree with them all, but I accept that everyone has their own opinion and whilst you may suddenly find your favourite ship gets an overhaul that means you don't like it anymore, it doesn't mean it's a bad change.

Personally I do not care what Icons look like as long as they are easy to spot what they represent when you are in a hurry.
In that light the new icon when seen on my fitting window or on the HUD is a grey- blue blob with a very small white splat in the middle.
It has no definition or shape and I cannot understand how people are seeing a red cross in the middle, except when I look at the original posters image!
Overall just make the Red Cross & White background a bit larger to help delineate the parts.
Next time it might be worth trying your new icons out at different UI Scales and check they still look good and are understandable. |

Although changing suitcase icon should've been on the bottom of the entire module rebalancing that needs doing. Then again the arts department could always need a motivator and getting half the playerbase upset about changing an iconic module is one way of getting one.

Pretty much this.
The new one is horrible.
Even if your intention was to replace what you thought wasn't fitting. You went ahead, after years of having it on a to-do list, to drop in a horribly designed eyesore. It isn't in line with the other icons in any way.
You even retained the first-aid symbol which doesn't make sense for a module that adds resistances. First-aid implies healing, not resistance to damage.
With horrible design choices such as this, the flat textured indistinguishable sidebar icons and the laggy new map, Eve is losing it's functionality for the sake of a fresh coat of unwanted paint.
