Thought id wait a while before i had another rant, about trying to get rid of old players....
When we look at things we use shape, colour and arrangement (solid or not) so why after the neo panel went into white icons only, have we gone to game icons that are all white line drawings????
It is useless, i click on an item and look at its picture to get a quicker idea of what I'm looking at, or the item description.
You have upgraded graphics to make great looking ships (in most cases) but we don't see them just a mass of kids squiggles in space.
I have already removed many item types to reduce the amount to try and decyfer but seriously this is not a good change.
And the on-line launcher is still useless, 3/4 minutes to get on the game is appalling...continue with this trend and you wont have any players left, new players want instant access, less patience than us old ones, but even mine is getting a bit thin. |

Had a look at the icon shading on singularity and does improve visibility, unfortunately i normally have concord ships turned off so doesn't help in game play.
Both my sons who have now given up the game are colour blind and they have greater contrast to distinguish shapes,( Like the old B & W TV's) something the new icons are not...line drawings are not as easy to see with peripheral vision.
If you print your cheat sheet off for all the new icons on A3 paper and hold it at the same distance as a screen is from yourself you cannot at a glance tell what is what, just like all the other changes to neocom, in station icons etc. you have turned to white line icons.
A mix of coloured shapes or pictograms is quicker and easier to jump to.
Too many changes for changes sake and ive seen a lot. concentrate on fixing in game mechanics that are broken and continue expanding the game content/story.
Asteroid belts are a good improvement, they should be full of particles.
I will keep looking at posts and updates and if i see an improvement to game play i could re sub my accounts.

Speaks for itself: link to server figures, no guessing why!

Last Sunday was the lowest number of players for many years. |
