I do think the new turret icons need looked at. They shouldn't revert to the old ones, but make it so that they are easier to distinguish between modules. The laser icons look like camel dung.

You're telling me you'd rather go back to the old, lower quality icons, because you don't have the ability to learn how to distinguish between different things. What did you do when you originally started playing and had no idea what any of these icons meant?

Case closed, /thread.

Yes, the old ones were low quality. When you see those new icons there? Yeah, that's exactly what it will look like when it's on your ship. I fail to see how this is SO UTTERLY CONFUSING.

I thought gamers were in general afraid of change, but this takes it to a whole new level of absurdity.

CCP is already working on better icons. It seems as though the current icons are too low-res for the amount of detail they have. It's almost as though someone took pictures of each turret and then badly compressed them. Ideally the icons should match those we see in the fitting window, albeit somewhat simplified so that they are easy to distinguish quickly.

Guys, we're reverting the icons to the way they were before we introduced the new turrets.

We hoped that the rendered previews would turn out more clearly, but it's evident that usability suffered, and as a result, we're changing them back.

I can't comment exactly on when the change will go out, but it's in the pipe. They look right on dev machines with the latest internal build, at least.

Oh for god sake. I have never seen such a heated back and forth discussion about such a worthless, trivial matter in all my days. What's worse is that some of you are actually serious and are treating this like an important issue. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The icons really don't matter. They don't. It got that bad in here that t0rfifrans gave you your answer. You're getting the old icons back. If this thread is any indication of what you think is important- god help us when CCP deliver ship customization and it's not to everyone's personal tastes.
