Maybe old overview icon set and modules classic set will be available to buy in AUR store, than it makes sense.

Here's what real life missile radar/guidance things look like:

It seems CCP got the right idea of what they should look like. |

New icons add uneeded complexity.
It's just an extra thing for new players to wrote-learn. CCP has talked about wanting to remove stuff like that, so I don't know why they're going to add these. |

Any possibility we could consider these icons the path you took before you completely switched gears and you came up with the cool ones we all fell in love with?
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

My new BCS version http://i.imgur.com/6Q6dCM3.jpg Why new icons look like antenna (actually like fly's face). How antenna could affect on missile damage or rate of fire of launchers?
Other weapon upgrades icons look like "here is the gun, and here is improvement in left-bottom corner (accuracy or firepower)" |

Kinda makes them more familiar, and when it comes to icons, that's important that you should be able to tell immediately wtf it is.
That said, old icons did the job well - for BCUs at least. I'm all for different mods being a bit more distinguishable. |

Seems we need to get back to longer Patch cycles which implement more new stuff instead of 'fix all those small things' so the Art Department gets something to do instead of 'fix all those small things People like about the look of eve that does not look like Random MMO 52031' |

Also been trying to like the new map. It's pretty but missing features of the old map. Been trying to get used to new brackets, again pretty but suck.
This really.
CCP have got to the end of the list of easy things to fix and rather than fix the hard things they search madly around for something else to fix.
Module Icons are not important fixes Overview Icons / brackets are not important fixes
Was there anyone in the community that was asking for these?

do people really think the art department deals with everything in the game, do you think the art department deals with game balance and fixing coding issues? i highly doubt it, so while the art department make visual changes to things another department will be working on something else, so just because art department redesigns a few icons does not mean ccp are ignoring every other issue within the game.

I don't know, it might be organised like that, I will wait until something in game changes that I don't like before complaining about it. |

Well it could increase damage with a new antena system being better at guidance thus reducing the space needed on th emissile itself thus allowing heavyer warhead.
You could increase the rate of fire if the added antenna enable you to track targets with more missile at the same time.
As for a counter argument for the sake of it, I'd like to know how a gyro stabilizer affect your damage on a gun and not just accuracy and potentially RoF by keeping the gun on target after each shots...
Antenna makes sense unless you think the missiles in EVE are fly-by-wire or dumbfire rockets... |

Interface should be fully customized by the users! In the end the icons and graphics are just images that sit user side and are displayed. So why in the name of Eve gods there is not an option to set user defined graphics and use this dictatorial approach all the time ?

The art department does, well, art related things of course. That should be clear to everyone. But even just in their field of work, they have more important things to do than changing icons. What about the high resolution textures (go take a look at the vexor lights close up)? What about the nebulae and gas clouds, that are so blinding, you have to rotate the camera to darker areas, to be able to see the UI? Ship redesigns? etc....
But, by now, it should be clear to all of us, that CCP determines priorities by throwing dart arrows at a list on the wall. |

I find it strange that people seem to think that the order of release alone is actually indicative of priority. The only way one could conclude that a single icon is of greater priority than say the hires texture pack because it came out first is to assume that each task must be worked on exclusively. |

Why change the BCU icon? It makes no sense.
The dmg mod for turrets is a picture of a generic turret...the drone dmg amp is a pic of drones...and the old BCU is, you guessed it, a picture of a launcher. This scheme makes sense. It is in no way broken
The same scheme follows for the "Tracking Computers"....the little radar dish thing just doesn't fit the currently well functioning theme.
Again, change for change sake with no regard for the function of the form.

If they have Art Department teams that are so desperate for work that they do this ridiculous crap...then maybe its time to re-allocate funds from the art department and towards parts of the game that are direly broken still. That is the issue.

Unless there's some behind-the-scenes work on making modules other than weapons appear on ship exteriors--something CCP has wanted to do for a long time--in which case making the icons look like the eventual sprites makes perfect sense.

Or maybe just having missiles mods just share one set of icons with a few modifiers. The antenna array is kinda fitting anyway. |
