A big problem with icons is they don't change size with distance. We can swivel the camera, sure, but icons are a full-time orthographic projection. Why?
When depth information is lost, the viewport becomes a minimap. Don't you think it's a problem we can't properly perceive a cluster of icons unless we swivel the camera?
I'm not saying it would solve all problems, but it would be an improvement in awareness. If icons made use of depth we would begin to perceive clouds of icons, not just walls.

The best thing would be mods, player-made. That would never happen with EVE, but a realistic way to incorporate that type of creative freedom is CCP-made mods. Skyrim is still beautiful due to mods, to the point that it doesn't need an official remaster. Three years after the last update, Skyrim is still this... living, breathing, organic thing.
With a subscription game like EVE, that type of longevity should be its bread and butter.
EVE would evolve at an amazing pace if CCP was willing to run development this way, as keepers of the mods. Players would be happy if they had the freedom to enable different mods.
Even though I'd like to, I can't and don't know how to mod EVE... I'd have to learn how it works and I hear the underpinnings of EVE are not in great shape. But CCP knows how to do these things.
A selection of mods would be well worth the price of playing.

I'm staying subbed because that's the leveling mechanic. My hope is to wake up to an awesome, popular EVE one day. I still have five years to go before my characters hit 200 million SP, so.

About the mods, and the overview. It might bother some people that a mod gives them a different experience from others who don't use one, etc. The information in the overview in particular is ripe, begging, for something to be done with it. It's raw telemetry that is vomited out onto a table... raw. If the client is openly displaying that information, what's the problem with integrating it into a mod that is more expressive. Shouldn't that happen with raw data anyway?

Icons are somewhat pleasant now, mostly due to the color backgrounds becoming semitransparent.
What's still missing is distance information from size, due to the orthographic projection thing.
